It’s easy to see that the Oklahoma City Thunder hate to lose.

It’s not just the record that proves it either. It’s also the attitudes of the players and coaches.

The Thunder’s “Big 3” put the NBA on notice in Wednesday night’s 115-104 win over the Phoenix Suns at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Russell Westbrook scored 31 points while Kevin Durant and James Harden dropped 30 apiece making them the first trio in the franchise since 1988 with three 30-point scorers in one game.

Kendrich Perkins, Oklahoma City’s enforcer in the middle, has made an enormous impact since joining the team in February of 2011. The Thunder were a young and talented team in search of a physical presence down low before pulling the trigger on the trade that sent Jeff Green and Nenad Kristic to Boston for the Texas native and since then, nobody has pushed them around.

The Thunder weren’t rolling early. They let the Lakers take an early 23-19 advantage after the first quarter, mostly due to poor shooting. Although the Thunder turned in a poor shooting performance in the final quarter, it was enough to pull out the victory. Harden, who was quiet most of the game, exploded in the fourth for nine points on 3-5 shooting and carried Oklahoma City to the finish line.

The Oklahoma City Thunder unloaded a 72-point first half on route to a 119-104 victory over the Boston Celtics at the Chesapeake Energy Arena Wednesday.

Kevin Durant’s first career high 51-point effort wasn’t all the Thunder dished out against Denver. Russell Westbrook finished with 40 points and nine assists and Serge Ibaka recorded his first career triple-double marking the first time in NBA history one team had a 50-point scorer, a 40-point scorer and a player with a triple-double in a single game.

The Oklahoma City Thunder rode a 38-point, second quarter burst to a 110-87 victory against the Golden State Warriors at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City Friday night.

The Oklahoma City Thunder survived a turnover-plagued game with a 101-91 victory against the New Orleans Hornets Wednesday night in the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Sewing up a 5-year contract over the weekend didn’t slow Thunder guard Russell Westbrook down as Oklahoma City trounced the Detroit Pistons 99-79 at Chesapeake Energy Arena Monday night.

After their win over the New York Knicks Saturday night inside the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the Oklahoma City Thunder finished a span of 13 games in 21 nights to open the season and the team still finds itself on top of the Western Conference.
