Led by Durant, the Thunder has become one of the N.B.A.’s best and youngest and most popular teams, an international icon of brotherhood and good will that has helped to usher in golden ages in both Oklahoma City and the N.B.A., an electric blue Trojan horse inside of which Oklahoma has managed to smuggle its ethos to the rest of the world: good folksy folks humbly helping other folksy folks stay humble and helpful.
(via New York Times Magazine) , on the ascension of the NBA in Oklahoma City, adding: "One of the miracles of the modern Thunder — and there are several — is how quickly they’ve made people forget the stain of their origin."

REAX: "My only issues with the officiating were the fouls on KD. Other than that, it was your standard game with misses on both sides. And it's hard to get too worked up when you miss nine free throws and throw away good opportunities regardless of the calls." (DailyThunder.com's Royce Young, via Twitter. Video via CBSSports.com's Ben Golliver.)
