Thunder defeats Pistons
Oklahoma City 91, Pistons 83: 1) This wasn't the way the Pistons wanted to open the home season. I'm sure of that. 2) The offense had no flow, particularly late. No assists in the fourth quarter pretty much says it all. 3) I tell you what, Oklahoma City might be able to contend for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The frontcourt of Durant-Green-Krstic, you could do a lot worse. Durant, in particular, will be a star. 4) Tough night, again, for Charlie Villanueva. He was 3-for-12, had 8 points, and wasn't noticeable. Maybe going back to Milwaukee tomorrow will have an impact.
