Russell Westbrook and Victor Oladipo want to play forever

At the end of regulation, Westbrook banked in a 40-foot three-pointer on his way to 48 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists.

It was an incredible finish to this game, with Kevin Durant first hitting a clutch 3 pointer to tie the game up, before Victor Oladipo responded with an unbelievable 3 off the dribble to give them the Magic the lead with seconds left.

Tobias Harris led the Magic with 30 points.

MILWAUKEE - Bradley Beal scored 14 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter and Washington overcame a 13-point deficit to beat Milwaukee.

Finally in the fourth quarter, they did it. They denied Vucevic prime positioning down low time and time again, and managed to keep the turnovers to a minimum as they won the fourth quarter by 18 points as Westbrook hit the most Russell Westbrook shots of all time to send the game to overtime. The only matchup on Friday night between two 2-0 teams ended with Detroit staying unbeaten on the back of a monster double-double from Andre Drummond, who notched 20 points and 20 rebounds for a 98-94 overtime win. Will they ride this new found swagger to a long a fruitful win streak, or will the last three quarters of play greatly affect OKC's ball movement to the point of early season struggles?

In what was a remath of the Western Conference finals last time out, Stephen Curry scored 25 points and the Golden State Warriors beat the Houston Rockets 112-92. "(The Wizards) made the plays that they had to make and we didn't", Skiles told reporters. Firstly, he is one of the top three players in the world right now, and his skill set in known throughout the league (I won't go into detail) - however, I think there will be an extra something this year, and that has been brought about thanks to his previous season. The Magic then kept piling on the points as they were able to fend off every mini run the Thunder could throw at them. Reserve guard D.J. Augustin had 12 points.

Serge Ibaka had eight points and 12 rebounds for the Thunder.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Rajon Rondo had 21 points and eight assists, many of them during a dominant first quarter, and Sacramento ran away from Kobe Bryant and Los Angeles.

Oladipo and Harris also each had 13 points by halftime.

Minnesota 95, at Denver 78: Karl-Anthony Towns had 28 points and 14 rebounds as the Timberwolves earned another road victory. John Wall had 19 points and 10 assists. Gallinari will likely mark Durant for the majority of the game, but look for Darrell Arthur, Joffrey Lauvergne, and Will Barton to get a few time there as well, and maybe even Harris, Mudiay or Jokic at times. Oklahoma City dominated the boards in their win against Orlando, so we should expect nothing less with a banged up front-court for the Nuggets. That will change with no less than a 25 point effort.

But what are you to do when that duo combined for 91 points on 32-of-66 shooting. Kobe Bryant had 13 points in 22 minutes.

Aside from Steven Adams high pick-and-rolls for Westbrook, the Thunder just pretty much sit around and watch their two superstars go to work.
