The Oklahoma City seem to be back on track after a rocky start when Russell Westbrook returned to the lineup after the All-Star break.
Behind Kevin Durant and Westbrook, the Thunder cruised to an easy 116-99 home win over the Charlotte Bobcats Sunday night. Despite yet another terrible snowstorm in the midwest, Thunder fans were there to back up their team.

Thabeet didn’t get much burn, but Russell Westbrook did. The highly criticized point guard scored 26 points in 25 minutes on a highly efficient 10-of-12 shooting. Durant poured in 28 points on 8-for-24 shooting.
This is the best shooting game of Westbrook’s career (min. 10 attempts). He hit 84.6 percent (11-13). Previous best was 76.9 (10-13).

The Thunder have now won two in a row after dropping three straight games and face the 76ers in their next game. They are currently clinging to a 1.5 game lead over the Spurs in the Western Conference with just over a month to play.
I wonder what the conversation will be tomorrow?
