THE FACTS: It was a Merry Christmas night in Oklahoma City as Thunder fans celebrated a 97-89 win by the home team over the visiting Orlando Magic. The Magic started the game shooting 88.9 percent (8-for-9) but the Thunder defense clamped down limiting Orlando to just 30.6 percent (22-for-72) the rest of the way. Magic center Dwight Howard torched the Thunder for a combined 79 points in two games last season. Tonight the OKC defense led by Kendrick Perkins held "superman" to just 11 points on 4-for-12 shooting. Ryan Anderson led Orlando with 25 points including six 3-pointers.
Oklahoma City forward Kevin Durant led all scorers with 30 points. He also handed out six assists and pulled down five rebounds. Thunder sixth man James Harden added 19. Oklahoma City point guard Russell Westbrook was up and down. He scored 14 points but he took 17 shots to get there. He dished out six assists but turned the ball over seven times.
QUOTABLE: "Our defense was really good, they're one of the best offensive teams in the league. Perk was really good on Howard ,he gave us everything he had."
-- Thunder head coach Scott Brooks.
