Since then, the Kings have surrendered 129, 112, 114, 121, 104, 107, 128, 128, 120, 110, 110, 110, 108, 117, and now a season worst 131 points to their opponent. "We'll get better from it and worry about the next game". "We have to be able to do that and not lose that concentration and focus to get to a different level".

After exchanging words and shoves with Kevin Durant earlier in the game, the Sacramento Kings big man nearly found himself in another confrontation.

The bench also stepped up for the Thunder tonight as Kyle Singler, Dion Waiters and Enes Kanter all finished in double figures. The Thunder are 23-5 against the Kings since moving from Seattle to Oklahoma City.2.
