Preview: Thunder vs Suns, Oklahoma City looks to bury Phoenix
In a high-scoring, exciting rivalry, the high flying Thunder hope to outgun the sinking Suns. Less than a month ago, the Thunder were 23-24 after dropping four of five miserable games. The team bottomed out against the Knicks, and Kevin Durant had made what turned out to be a premature, ineffective return to the court in a depressing 85-74 loss to the Grizzlies. Phoenix, on the other hand, was 28-21, smiling down on both the Thunder and Pelicans from their cozy 8 seed chair. The script has completely flipped since, with Phoenix going 2-7 in February, and OKC going 9-1. If the point guard...

Kyle Singler, D.J. Augustin unspectacular with Thunder so far
The Thunder's newly acquired Motown discards are off to an average start in loud city. Both Kyle Singler and D.J. Augustin have played two games each for the Oklahoma City Thunder after being part of the exchange with Detroit which sent disgruntled floor general Reggie Jackson to Motown. Since the transaction, Kyle Singler has worked his hipster Oregon voodoo and managed to sideline Kevin Durant with a minor foot injury, opening up the starting small forward slot on a temporary basis. D.J., meanwhile, has slotted in as expected as Russell Westbrook's capable backup, and both players...

2014-15 Season game 55: Oklahoma City Thunder vs Charlotte Hornets full coverage
Update: Kevin Durant will sit out tonight's game with a sore right foot. Kevin Durant (foot soreness) will NOT play against the Hornets tonight. — Anthony Slater (@anthonyVslater) February 21, 2015 The right foot is the one that Durant had surgery on prior to the season, and it has been giving him some issues over the past week. The Thunder are likely extra cautious, because a re-inured Durant will put OKC's playoff chances in jeopardy. At this point however, the team is not overly worred: I'm told there's still no concern of a serious injury with Durant's foot. It's just sore...
