1,000 Games Coached: 1 B.I.G. Loss

On Monday the Thunder hosted the 1st place Spurs. This was Spurs Coach Greg Popovich 1,000 game coached. The San Antonio Spurs blew a 17 point lead to the 5th place Thunder. The Thunder won by two points, 78 to 76. Durant lead the Thunder with 25 points followed by Thabo Sefolosha who scores 12. The Spurs Tony Parker scored a game high 28 points but it wasn't enough. Tony Parker also had a chance to win the game with a three but misses. I really liked the D by Westbrook and Durant. This proves that the Thunder will be a team to beat in the next couple of years.

The Thunder then get a day of rest and they take on the Bulls of Chicago. Derrick Rose lead the Bulls to a 103 to 96 win over the home team Thunder. Durant lead all scores with 28 points and Nick Collision pounded the boards with 13 rebounds. The Rose-Westbrook match-up was very interesting. The two top five draft picks did really well and showed a lot of skill. For rookie of the year Rose gets the award. Overall the Thunder have to work on their defense.
Tonight the Thunder host the Jazz. Should be a good game. Go THUNDER!!!!
