The Oklahoma City Thunder will want to improve on their 12-game home winning streak Wednesday when they host the visiting Brooklyn Nets to Chesapeake Energy Arena at 8:00 pm ET.
Oklahoma City (24-6) won its third straight since its only back-to-back losses this season, 114-96 over Phoenix on Monday. Russell Westbrook overcame a nasty cut over his right eye to finish with 24 points, nine assists and seven rebounds, while Kevin Durant scored 30 to help extend the longest current home win streak in the league.
The Thunder have averaged 110.9 points and outscored opponents by 13.6 over that stretch.
Oklahoma City has topped 20 assists in three straight contests, pushing its scoring average to 105.9 by averaging 116.3 during that win streak.
Meanwhile, despite the encouraging performance, the Nets dropped their seventh in a row to the Thunder. The Brooklyn franchise has also lost all three games at Oklahoma City since the former Seattle SuperSonics relocated for the 2008-09 season.
The Nets (16-15) earned victories in their first two games since the dismissal of coach Avery Johnson, but they tied their lowest point total of the season in a 104-73 loss at San Antonio on Monday.
Star point guard Deron Williams had a season-best 33 points in the first meeting of the season with Oklahoma City, but he scored a season low-tying eight and had one assist while shooting 3 for 11 on Monday. Williams' 39.9 field-goal percentage and 30.0 percent mark from 3-point range are the lowest of his career, and his 7.5 assists per game are his worst as a full-time starter.
