Spurs-Thunder Preview

The Oklahoma City Thunder are doing just enough to win while getting off to their best start since relocating from Seattle. Things aren't about to get any easier with the San Antonio Spurs coming to town.

Oklahoma City will look for its third straight win overall while avoiding its fourth consecutive loss to the Spurs on Sunday night.

The Thunder's last four wins have come by a total of 10 points, and they're being outscored by an average of 3.0 points per game this season. Oklahoma City (5-3) joins Golden State as the only teams in the league with winning records who are being outscored by their opponents, and Kevin Durant knows where improvement needs to begin.

"I think it's going to start to come around for us on the defensive end," said Durant, who scored 34 in Friday's 110-108 win over Portland. "We always seem to play one half of good defense. I think if we continue to keep working, we're going to start to put two halves together."

Oklahoma City has allowed 55.8 points in the first half compared to 47.9 in the second. The Thunder held the Trail Blazers to 43 over the last two quarters.

Durant leads the league in scoring with 28.9 points per contest, and has averaged 27.7 against the Spurs over his career. He put up 45 against them - two short of his career-high - in the Thunder's 99-96 loss the last time these teams met March 22.

Coming off a career-high 36-point effort Friday, Russell Westbrook is second on the club behind Durant with an average of 24.3 points this season, but has managed 13.6 in eight games against San Antonio.

Opponents are shooting 41.3 percent from beyond the arc against the Thunder in 2010-11, and Oklahoma City will likely need to clamp down on San Antonio, which is connecting on an NBA-best 42.7 percent of its 3-point attempts.

The Spurs connected on 8 of 18 from long distance as they won their sixth straight, 116-93 over Philadelphia on Saturday.

San Antonio (7-1) is off to its best start since 2007-08, however, it has defeated teams with a combined 16-38 record, and is looking forward to a real test.

"It was good especially considering that we play (Sunday) at a tough arena against a very athletic young team," said Manu Ginobili, who is 11 for 21 from 3-point range over his previous three games.

Tim Duncan, who scored six points Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers, put up seven versus the 76ers. That marked the third time in a 14-year career that he's been held to single digits in consecutive games.

The 12-time All Star and two-time MVP may bounce back against the Thunder, though, as he has averaged 21.5 points against the franchise.

Oklahoma City's Jeff Green, who has scored a career-high 19.4 points this season, was unavailable for the third consecutive game Friday due to a sprained left ankle. His status for Sunday remains uncertain.

Bonner's seven 3s help Spurs race past Thunder

Posted Nov 14 2010 11:15PM

OKLAHOMA CITY(AP) Matt Bonner took advantage of being left open from long distance to put together an impressive line of lucky sevens: seven shots from 3-point range, seven makes and seven straight wins for the San Antonio Spurs.

Bonner scored 21 points and just missed matching the best 3-point shooting outing in Spurs' history, leading a long-range barrage as San Antonio beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 117-104 on Sunday night.

Bonner swished home three of his 3s during a 21-8 run to open the fourth quarter, and the NBA's best 3-point shooting team went 6-for-8 from behind the arc to pull away in the final period.

"They were just getting to the basket at will and making shots from the perimeter," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "That's a deadly dose of offensive basketball."

Bonner led the way, falling one shy of Steve Smith's record for 3-point accuracy. He went 8-for-8 from 3-point range against Portland on Nov. 3, 2001.

"With each consecutive shot, the hoop is just getting bigger and bigger," said Bonner, who set a career-high with the seven 3s. "It was just one of those nights where I was just feeling it."

Bonner had made six 3-pointers three other times in his seven-year career, but he'd never before gone even 5-for-5 or 6-for-6. Only once had he hit all four of his 3s - against New Orleans during his rookie year with Toronto.

"We over-helped, and that wasn't the game plan. We talked about that: Stay at home," Brooks said. "The bottom line is we gave them the openings. All it takes for him is just a half a second. He's a knockdown 3-point shooter.

"We didn't do a good job on him. No excuses."

Tony Parker scored 24 points, Manu Ginobili added 21 and Richard Jefferson had 18 for the Spurs.

Kevin Durant had a season-low 23 points and Russell Westbrook scored 19 for the Thunder, who have given up more than 100 points in seven of nine games this season.

"We're having trouble stopping the basketball," Brooks said. "When you play against a good team, when you make one mistake they capitalize on it. That's what a good team, an experienced team will do to you."

The Spurs trailed the entire first half and didn't lead by more than three until Jefferson connected on a 3-pointer from the left corner late in the third quarter to make it 82-78. From there, the 3s kept coming.

Gary Neal and Bonner hit early in the fourth quarter, then Bonner sank another from the right wing and - after Ginobili got into the action - one from the left wing. When the Thunder called timeout to stop the spurt, Tim Duncan greeted Bonner at the bench by tousling his red hair.

The Spurs shot just 41 percent from the field but finished 11-for-20 on 3-pointers, improving on their league-leading 42.7 percent.

Oklahoma City, the NBA's worst 3-point shooting team at 23 percent, simply didn't have an answer despite efforts by Durant and James Harden.

Harden led a strong effort from the Thunder's bench with 14 points, Serge Ibaka added 13 points and Eric Maynor had 12.

Jeff Green had 12 points in his return to the starting lineup after missing the previous three games with a sprained left ankle, and Nick Collison drew a charge in his season debut after missing the first eight games with a left leg injury.

Green didn't play in the fourth quarter or in the final 6 minutes of the third and had his left foot soaking in a tub of ice in the locker room.

"It just got a little sore. It's not something I want to try to push through," said Green, Oklahoma City's third-leading scorer. "It's still early in the season. If it was the playoffs, yes. I don't want to drive it to the point where I reaggravate it too much and then I'm out longer than I was before. I didn't want to push it too much."

The Spurs missed nine of their first 10 shots and fell behind by 12 before scoring the final seven points of the first quarter. Bonner hit his first 3-pointer in the final 5 seconds of the first quarter, then hit three more to keep San Antonio within striking distance in the second.

DeJuan Blair scored seven in a row on a tip-in, a steal for a fast-break layup and a three-point play off a putback to tie it at 68 early in the second half but then went to the bench with his fourth foul just a minute later. Jefferson's three-point play put the Spurs ahead for the first time at 71-70.

"We definitely have multiple weapons in the offense and it makes it really hard to guard us," Bonner said. "Everybody did a great job after that slow start in the first quarter of picking it up and playing hard."

Notes: Before Durant and Westbrook did it in Friday night's win against Portland, the Thunder hadn't had two players with back-to-back 30-point outings since Dale Ellis and Xavier McDaniel in April 1989 when the team was in Seattle. ... Oklahoma City has sold out its first six games, and 17 in a row dating back to last season. ... Oklahoma State basketball coach Travis Ford attended the game. His pupil, Spurs rookie James Anderson, is expected to miss two months with a stress fracture in his right foot.

Spurs-Thunder notebook

By Randy Renner, NBA.com
Posted Sunday November 14, 2010 10:11PM

THE FACTS: The San Antonio Spurs used a barrage of 3-point bombs to bury the Oklahoma City Thunder, 117-104, inside Oklahoma City Arena. Matt Bonner set a career high with seven 3-pointers and was perfect behind the arc. The Spurs were 11-for-20 from long range as Bonner and Manu Ginobili each had 21 for the Spurs. Tony Parker led San Antonio with 24. Kevin Durant led Oklahoma City with 23 points and Russell Westbrook added 19. That pair had scored more than 30 apiece the last two games.

QUOTABLE: "Durant's a great player so we tried to make him work his fanny off for everything he got tonight. I'll take 23 points on 23 shots."
--Spurs coach Gregg Popovich

THE STAT: The Spurs made their run to the lead in the third quarter. San Antonio held OKC to just 14 points on 4-for-16 shooting as they ran away from the Thunder in the fourth by going 6-for-8 on 3-pointers. OKC was just 2-for-7 from long range as it tried to catch up.

TURNING POINT: San Antonio had scoring runs at the start of the third and fourth quarters that helped it seize control of the win. First, the Spurs used a 14-6 run right after halftime to go from five points down to three points up. Then, San Antonio jumped out with an 8-2 run to open the fourth that gave them an eight-point advantage.

QUOTABLE II: "They did a good job of exposing us in many areas. We had trouble guarding the 3-point line. When you make a mistake they capitalize on it."
--Thunder coach Scott Brooks

HOT: The Thunder hit their first five shots of the game.

NOT: The Spurs began the game by missing nine of their first 10 shots.

INSIDE THE ARENA: Another youngster thrilled the sellout crowd with a rousing rendition of the National Anthem. Two games ago it was an eight-year-old girl, and tonight nine-year-old Addison Baker from Norman delivered.

ROOKIE WATCH: Spurs guard Gary Neal played 18 minutes, scoring five points and grabbing five rebounds. ... Rookie forward Tiago Splitter was in the game for 3:27, scoring two points and pulling down two rebounds. ... Guard James Anderson is injured and did not play. ... Thunder center Cole Aldrich was the only Thunder player in uniform who did not play.

NOTABLE: The Spurs' 8-1 start is the best in franchise history. The Thunder hit 80 percent of their free throws, their worst percentage of the season.

UP NEXT: For the Spurs, Wednesday vs Bulls, Friday @ Utah, Saturday vs Cavaliers. For the Thunder, Monday @ Utah, Wednesday vs Rockets, Friday @ Boston.
