Thunder Update 3

Oklahoma City will head into Saturday's game against Cleveland off of a decent win at home against Memphis. Kevin Durant played an outstanding game as usual, and Russel Westbrook got back into the swing of things shooting 75% from the field. Cleveland will come into the game on a two game losing streak, but ready to protect their home court.

Oklahoma City is in first place in the Northwest division, with a 6.5 game lead on the Denver Nuggets. They currently have the second best record in the NBA only behind San Antonio, who has won two more games than OKC. Oklahoma City is shooting 48% from the field this season. Nick Collison has the best shooting percentages at 62%, although he has taken almost 600 less shots than Kevin Durant. Serge Ibaka comes in second with a 56% average on 456 shots this season. Kevin Durant is shooting 52% this season on 848 attempts. When it comes to shooting from beyond the arc, no one is better than our sixth man, Kevin Martin. K Mart is shooting 44% this year so far on 228 attempts. Kevin Durant is our second leading shooter from the three. KD is shooting 41% from beyond the arc on 213 attempts. When it comes to the charity stripe, you can pretty much guess who has the best percentages. Kevin Durant tied an NBA record against the Mavericks making 22 in a row. This season KD is shooting 91% this season on 431 attempts. The next best free throw shooter is Kevin Martin. Martin is shooting 90% this year on just 167 attempts.

Durant leads all scorers with 1360 points, and it isn't even the all star break yet! Durant is currently the leading scorer in the NBA, averaging 29.6 points per game. Just like the point guard should, Russel leads the team in assist with 383. Russ is fifth in the NBA in assist, averaging 8.3 per game. Power forward Serge Ibaka leads the team in rebounds with 356 this far into the season. Serge is averaging 8.1 rebounds per game. Serge isn't just dominant on the boards, he is second in the league in blocked shots. Ibaka has 126 blocks this season, which adds up to an average of 2.86 per game.
