Scott Brooks spent his first year as the Thunder's coach trying to turn Oklahoma City into a defensive-minded team. While that's still a work in progress, at least he's made his team a winner. Kevin Durant scored 35 points, Russell Westbrook added 26 and the Thunder had their highest-scoring output of the season in a 127-108 victory over the Washington Wizards on Friday night.

Gilbert Arenas is waiting for an audience. The enigmatic NBA point guard and former blogger extraordinaire finally signed up for Twitter, but he says he won't post anything on the social networking site until he has 1 million followers. Could be quite some time: Arenas' feed had fewer than 1,700 followers as of Wednesday night.
The Washington Wizards have signed free-agent guard Earl Boykins after a series of injuries at that position and waived center Paul Davis. Boykins has averaged 9.4 points and 3.4 assists in 10 NBA seasons with eight teams. He played in Italy last season. Davis averaged 2.5 points and 1.5 assists in two appearances for the Wizards (2-6) this season.
Washington guard Randy Foye sprained his right ankle midway through the second quarter of Tuesday night's game against Miami and was not expected to return. X-rays were planned, the team said. Foye's absence added to the Wizards' growing injury woes at guard. Mike James will miss at least the next month with a broken left ring finger, Mike Miller sprained his left shoulder last week...
Washington Wizards backup guard Mike James is expected to miss up to five weeks with a broken bone in his left hand. The injury was diagnosed Monday, two days after James was hurt in practice. He did not play in Washington's 102-90 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Sunday. James has played in only one game this season for the Wizards, who are 2-5 and have lost their past four games.
The Phoenix Suns were sluggish in their first afternoon game of the season - committing 16 first-half turnovers - but came on late to beat the Washington Wizards on Sunday.
The Phoenix Suns came out in the daytime for the first time this season, on a Sunday afternoon on the East Coast. And they proceeded to commit 16 first-half turnovers. The Suns settled down, giving the ball away only five times in the second half, and beat the Washington Wizards 102-90 to improve to 6-1, matching the best seven-game start in franchise history.
Tyler Hansbrough took a verbal jab from a fellow ex-North Carolina Tarheel after committing his first NBA foul. "This ain't Carolina, T!" Antawn Jamison yelled from Washington's bench. Hansbrough spent his remaining minutes making it look just like Carolina. He shot more free throws than anyone else, made the hustle plays that made him famous in college and helped the Indiana...

#7 Stands for Consistency
Washington Wizards guard Mike Miller sprained his left shoulder in the fourth quarter of the Wizards' game against Miami on Wednesday night and is expected to miss seven to 10 days. Miller first hurt the shoulder in the third quarter in a collision with the Heat's Mario Chalmers. He immediately clutched his shoulder and was taken to the locker room.
