OKC Thunder notebook: Kevin Durant blames loss on his late defensive lapse
BY ANTHONY SLATER, Staff Writer, aslater@opubco.comWith the Thunder trailing by one in the final minute and needing a late stop, Kevin Durant fell asleep. Out of a timeout, the Blazers dialed up a perfect play call, running Nic Batum off a pindown screen, which Durant failed to fight through, leading to a wide-open three that essentially sealed the Blazers' 111-104 win on Wednesday night. Durant, after the game, blamed the loss on that late defensive lapse. “I messed the game up at the end, got lost and (Batum) hit a three,” Durant said.Read more on NewsOK.com

Kevin Durant happy the Kings stayed in Sacramento, but hopes Seattle gets a team
Anthony Slater[img]2233383[/img] From afar, Kevin Durant was like plenty of us last season, following the ongoing saga in Sacramento as the city tried — and eventually succeeded — in keeping its NBA team from leaving for Seattle. But with his knowledge of the league and connection to the Emerald City, it put him in a strange spot, rooting for and against both sides. “It’s almost like a lose-lose situation because you want to see Seattle get a team, but you don’t want to see Sacramento lose theirs,” Durant said at shootaround in Sacramento on Tuesday, in advance of the Thunder’s...

Kings vs. Thunder preview: Just another easy home game!
Sacramento is home again. Unfortunately, the opponent is Oklahoma City. Gads. Akis has written about this a few times, but it bears repeating: while the Kings have had an extremely home-heavy schedule (10 at home, five on the road) it has been really, really tough. In fact, tied for the toughest in the league. Of the Kings' 15 games, only three have featured teams currently below .500. Those happen to be the three East team that visited Sleep Train. Another home game on Tuesday, and another tough foe: the 12-3 Thunder. MATCHUP OF THE GAME Kevin Durant vs. Derrick Williams. Yeah. Durant...
