76ers-Thunder Preview

The Philadelphia 76ers could be on the verge of welcoming back one of the best players in their history. There will be no reinforcements coming, however, before the team takes the court trying to avoid its first eight-game losing streak since Allen Iverson's acrimonious departure three years ago.

With Iverson mulling a one-year contract offer from his former club, the 76ers look to end their skid Wednesday night when they visit the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Philadelphia coach Eddie Jordan, team president Ed Stefanski and two other members of the organization met with Iverson, his agent and his business manager Monday. A person with knowledge of the contract talks says the Sixers offered a one-year, non-guaranteed contract to the four-time scoring champion Tuesday. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the contract talks had not been made public.

Iverson announced his retirement last week after a brief stint with Memphis that ended because he was disappointed with his bench role. The 10-time All-Star was league MVP in 2001, when he led the Sixers to the NBA finals. He left Philadelphia after 10-plus seasons in large part because he was frustrated with the direction of the team.

This season's Sixers (5-13) haven't distinguished themselves, either. They've lost 11 of 13, including seven straight since topping Charlotte 86-84 on Nov. 18. It's their first seven-game skid since Jan. 2-14, 2008, and they haven't had a longer losing streak since dropping 12 in a row Nov. 25-Dec. 20, 2006. Iverson played in the first five losses of that slide before demanding a trade and sitting out until he was dealt to Denver.

Philadelphia overcame a 17-point deficit Monday night at Dallas, with Andre Iguodala's 3-pointer tying the game at 102 with 5.6 seconds remaining. The Sixers, though, gave up a jumper to Jason Terry with 1.4 seconds left to fall 104-102.

"We just fought all game long," said Willie Green, averaging 16.3 points in four games since emerging point guard Louis Williams was lost for two months with a broken jaw. "We didn't hang our heads and I think those are some positives we can build on."

The Thunder (9-8) were encouraged by their performances in double-digit wins over Utah and Milwaukee last week, but they fell 100-91 to Houston on Sunday night. They were outrebounded 29-14 in the second half and gave up a season-high 23 offensive boards that led to 23 second-chance points for the Rockets.

"When the ball goes up, you have to make that effort to go after the ball. We can't leak out and we can't give up second-chance opportunities, and that's what killed us," forward Jeff Green said.

Those struggles overshadowed another strong performance from Kevin Durant, who had 25 points, nine rebounds and six assists. The third-year forward is averaging 28.0 points, 7.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists while shooting 49.0 percent from the field over his last five games.

Durant has been held to 13.5 points and 41.4 percent shooting in two career games against Philadelphia. He missed the Thunder's 89-74 win over the Sixers on March 8 because of an ankle injury.

Philadelphia had won five straight in the series before that defeat. It could have an easier time resuming its success against Oklahoma City with Elton Brand healthy. Brand returned to the Sixers lineup Monday after missing three games with a sore right hamstring. He had 21 points and 10 rebounds while going 8 for 12 from the field in 25 minutes off the bench.

Brand, averaging 17.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists in his last six games against the Thunder franchise, has averaged 16.8 points and 9.6 boards over his last five games overall.

Durant scores 33, Thunder roll past Sixers

OKLAHOMA CITY (NBA.com exclusive) -- With the Philadelphia 76ers coming to town, Oklahoma City Thunder coach Scott Brooks knew where he had to focus his team. Especially considering the Thunder gave up 23 offensive rebounds in a loss to Houston and Philadelphia entered Wednesday's game after grabbing 24 offensive rebounds in a loss to Dallas.

"I'm really concerned about their ability to get second chance points, we have to limit their offensive rebounds," he told reporters before the game.

Mission accomplished.

The Sixers (5-14) could manage only seven offensive boards against Oklahoma City (10-7) and they had no answer for Kevin Durant, who led all scorers with 33 points, as the Thunder cruised past the 76ers 117-106.

"We've had a couple of close losses at home but tonight I thought we shot about as well as we can," Brooks said. "Defensively we gave them a lot of opportunities."

Oklahoma City shot 50.6 percent and the 76ers hit exactly half their shots and both teams hit at least half their shots from long range as the Thunder were 12-for-24 and the Sixers were 14-for-23 (60.9 percent).

"It was good to finally see us hit some threes," Brooks said, "Of course they were dropping in a lot too."

What the Sixers have been dropping lately are games. They've now lost eight in a row and 10 of their last 11.

"It seems like we have to play a near perfect game to get out of this thing," said 76ers coach Eddie Jordan. "We did a lot of good things offensively, but defensively we didn't. Rebounding was the key."

The Thunder outrebounded Philadelphia 43-29 overall and 18-7 on the offensive glass.

"We missed some timely rebounds," Jordan said. "[Nick] Collison, [Nenad] Krstic and [Jeff] Green just kicked us on the boards."

Collison, fresh off the injured list, came off the Oklahoma City bench to score a season-high 18 points and a team-best seven rebounds.

"I felt really good tonight, the best I've felt all season," said Collison, who has been battling ankle and knee injuries since before the start of the season.

"It's amazing what pro athletes can do, he hasn't played in a while and he comes in and has a game like this," Brooks said. "He really battled their big guys and got us extra possessions."

Krstic, who had 12 points and four rebounds, left the game late in the third quarter after spraining his ankle.

"My ankle is sore," he said, "but I don't think it's too serious. We'll see how it feels tomorrow."

Point guard Russell Westbrook had a career-high 15 assists as Oklahoma City won for the seventh time in the last 11 games.

"Our team's done well and it's fun to be a part of that," Collison said. "Hopefully I'll have more games like this."

Both teams got off to blazing starts, especially from long range. The 76ers hit their first five shots from beyond the arc and Oklahoma City was also perfect, going 3-for-3 in the early going on 3-pointers.

Philadelphia had some trouble scoring points at the beginning of games recently, putting up 24 or less in seven straight contests. Wednesday night they opened with 33, the second-most points in an opening quarter this season.

Oklahoma City stayed with the furious pace and managed to quiet Philly's long bombers from the middle of the first quarter almost to the end of the first half. After nailing their first five from 3-point land, the Sixers missed three of their next four and didn't even attempt a shot from beyond the arc in the second quarter until Jrue Holliday dropped two in a row on Oklahoma City in the final seconds before the break to give the 76ers a 55-54 lead at halftime.

Philadelphia finished with five players in double figures led by Andre Iguodala's 28 and 20 from Thaddeus Young.

"I thought Andre did a great job tonight," Jordan said. "We just have to do better."
