New Orleans and Oklahoma City closed a deal Tuesday that sends center Tyson Chandler to the Thunder in exchange for two players and draft rights to a third. Oklahoma City will send forward Joe Smith, center Chris Wilcox and the draft rights to center Devon Hardin to New Orleans. Chandler, who spent the last three seasons with the Hornets, is averaging 8.8 points and 8.3 rebounds in 32 games this season.

A 32-point effort by Kevin Durant Friday helped the Oklahoma City Thunder produce its first winning streak this season with an 89-79 victory over Detroit. The Thunder have won three out of four in what has easily been their best stretch of basketball since moving from Seattle at the end of last season. Oklahoma City has not only put together back-to-back wins for the first time in its new home, but those two wins have come over teams with winning records.

Chris Wilcox touched off a key 8-2 run down the stretch Wednesday that carried Oklahoma City to a 107-100 win over Golden State. The Thunder won for the second time in December and for the fourth time all season.
