This game in Detroit starts a four-in-five game road trip for OKC, first vs the 2-2 Pistons. Watch the free live stream online of the big offseason signing of Josh Smith for Detroit against a championship-contending Thunder team.
Smith has 16 points but missed 11 of 16 shots and five of his six from 3-point range in the team's loss to the Indiana Pacers. It was a game in which the defense allowed Eastern Conference runner-up Indiana Pacers to nine points in quarter, but still lost.
"We're still getting to know each other. That's important, but we still have to do a better job than we did," Smith, who also had four turnovers and no assists told ESPN.
Russell Westbrook has scored 21 and 22 since his return from knee injury that ended his season a year ago.
"It's what we expect," coach Scott Brooks said. "That's who he is. He's an aggressive player. He's a talented player that has improved every year. This is the guy that we all knew what he was going to do when he came back."
These two teams will not meet again until April 16 in Oklahoma. Both teams are similar this season as far as numbers go. OKC averages 98 PPG, while Detroit averages 99.8 PPG. Thunder give up 96.8 against and Pistons average 97.3 against.
