This was supposed to be the beginning of a relatively easy stretch for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Locked in pursuit of San Antonio for the Western Conference's top playoff seed, the Thunder were looking forward to a few easy nights with four straight games against teams with losing records. The Orlando Magic must have missed the memo. The Thunder needed 25 points from Kevin Durant, including 11 in the fourth quarter, to hold off a short-handed, but inspired Magic team 97-89 on Friday night.
