- (Sports Network) - The Oklahoma City Thunder return to the Ford Center Sunday and welcome Minnesota to town in hopes of garnering the franchise's first win since relocating from Seattle in the offseason.
The Thunder fell to a talented Houston team, 89-77, on Saturday night.
Second year star Kevin Durant was 11-of-20 from the floor and netted 26 points, while Johan Petro and Jeff Green each had 10 points and were the only other Thunder players in double-digits.
"We came out and played hard," Durant said. "We played a great first half, but we ended up giving them easy baskets in the second half."
Oklahoma City also dropped its home opener to Milwaukee earlier in the week.
The Timberwolves come into the contest fresh off a 95-85 loss to Dallas in Minneapolis on Saturday.
Rashad McCants had a team-high 18 points while Al Jefferson had 14 points and 12 rebounds, his second straight double-double, for the Timberwolves, who were unable to feed off a victory over Sacramento to start the season on Wednesday night.
Mike Miller added 13 points in defeat for Minnesota.
Minnesota star rookie Kevin Love followed his 12-point, nine-rebound NBA debut with just nine points and three rebounds in 23 minutes.
The Oklahoma City/Seattle franchise had won six straight games in the series before the Timberwolves defeated the SuperSonics 121-116 on March 14 in their final game in Seattle.
