Kevin Durant injured in win over Wizards

Oklahoma City Thunder won 125-101 over the Washington Wizards on Tuesday.

Guards Eric Gordon, Ish Smith and Toney Douglas also each scored 17 points for the Pelicans, who handed the Mavs their third defeat in four games.

J.J. Redick scored 6 straight points in the final 55 seconds to rally host Los Angeles to a 94-92 victory Monday night, snapping a two-game skid.

And by the beginning of the second half, Kevin Durant had disappeared too, but by that point, any sense that the Wizards could win was long gone from the building. had 12 points and nine rebounds, before he drove to the basket with less than one minute left in the second quarter.

"It's a little sore, man, but I'll just get it checked out tomorrow", said Durant.

Durant only managed to play in 27 games last season due to successive surgeries. I haven't seen much of a difference.

Despite playing at home, the Wizards fell behind early, trailing 37-23 after the first quarter and never really recovered as they were playing without their top scorer in Bradley Beal, who was suffering from a minor shoulder injury. Everywhere and anywhere the Wizards needed a stop or a board, the Thunder were a step ahead of them.

"You score 100 points in this league, you think you can win those games", John Wall added. But the All-Star guard's focus post-game was not about the team's offence.

The Wizards will have three days to rectify their issues before hosting Orlando, who they limited to 87 points on opening night, by far the fewest they have allowed all season. "I've got to take the blame", Gortat said.

The Wizards are one of the teams expected to attempt to sign the 27-year-old, and their fans are leading a "KD2DC" movement.

The Washington Wizards didn't have any opportunity Tuesday to perform late magic against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Anthony Morrow didn't get a single second of significant time tonight, and a lot of fans are furious. On consecutive possessions in that period, Westbrook threw down a soaring, one-handed dunk, then moments later hit a 3-pointer and wagged three fingers before pounding his chest.
