With the Sixers threatening to spoil another improbable Thunder victory, Kyle Weaver stepped in.

Well, actually, he swooped in out of nowhere.

The Thunder guard streaked across the court to steal a pass and squash a for-sure fast-break dunk. That basket would’ve cut the Thunder lead to a dozen with just over two minutes left in the game and swung the momentum firmly in the Sixers’ favor.

Instead, the Thunder cruised to victory, 89-74.

Another win without Kevin Durant and Jeff Green.

Another nod to just how hard this team is playing.

"We’re playing with a lot of tenacity,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks acknowledged. "Guys are really doing a good job of helping out.”

Weaver’s steal, after all, was just one of many hustle plays Sunday night at the Ford Center. There was Earl Watson battling for a tip-in putback even though he was the smallest guy on the court. There was Nick Collison tracking down a breakaway to block a shot. There was Thabo Sefolosha holding Philadelphia star Andre Iguodala to only nine points.
