	After a hard fought victory on Monday night against the Toronto Raptors at Oracle Arena, the Golden State Warriors were back at it on Wednesday night. This time they were back on the road, as they traveled to “America’s Heartland,” to face the Oklahoma City Thunder, the team formerly known as the Seattle SuperSonics. Jeff Green led the Thunder with 26 points, while last season’s Rookie of the Year, Kevin Durant added 25 and the Thunder defeated the Warriors 107-100 at the Ford Center. Green scored 18 of his 26 points in the second half, as the Thunder won for just the fourth time this season and snapped a five-game losing streak in the process. Durant also grabbed 10 rebounds for his fifth double double of the season and also dished off six assists, Chris Wilcox came off the bench to score 23 points. Kelenna Azubuike scored a season-high 24 points, all of them coming in the second half; Azubuike received help from Stephen Jackson, who scored 17 points.
