The Thunder, meanwhile, were a bit lackadaisical in their last affair but came out on top of a 104-102 decision over the hapless New Jersey Nets on Friday. Kevin Durant poured in 32 points and pulled down 12 rebounds in that one. Durant's 30-point game was his 36th this season, breaking Spencer Haywood's franchise mark set from the 1972-73 season.
