TURNING POINT: After trailing early by as many as nine, Oklahoma City went on a 16-3 run just before half and led by six at half. But Minnesota stayed in the game and took the lead early in the fourth quarter on a stunning fast break connection between Minnesota's rookies, Ricky Rubio to Derrick Williams. But for every Minnesota punch, Oklahoma city had a counter-punch. And a three point play by Westbrook (followed by a stare down aimed at Rubio) with 2:25 to play took the lead away from Minnesota for good.

NOTABLE: In their opening night game against Orlando, the Thunder trio of Durant, Westbrook, and James Harden scored 64 of Oklahoma City's 97 points. Tonight they scored 77 of their 104 points. Minnesota played their much heralded rookies a fair amount. Rubio had six points, six assists, and five rebounds in 26 minutes and Williams had 13 points and six rebounds in 23 minutes.

Durant le amarga a Ricky Rubio su brillante debut en la NBA

El alero Kevin Durant reivindicó su condición de nueva estrella de la NBA y lo hizo con 33 puntos que permitieron a los Thunder de Oklahoma City vencer 100-104 a los Timberwolves de Minnesota, que jugaron el primer partido de la temporada con el debut espectacular del base español Ricky Rubio.

@niceguyFTW Minnesota better apologize? Yes, you are correct, because apparently in your world the entire state is the GM? And yes, we all know from your educated post you must know half of the population of the state of Minnesota and their opinions on each player. You mention stupidity in your post, which is exactly what it is... Well done.

@niceguyFTW Im sorry when did we ever say Flynn was better? We drafted Rubio first then Flynn...so Im pretty sure we knew Rubio was our next superstar. We just drafted Flynn to play in case Rubio didnt want to come right away.

[niceguyFTW]

MN better apologize and say they're stupid. I remember more than half of MN hated Rubio. They think fucking johnny flynn is better...who? Now MN all over Rubios dick
