OKLAHOMA CITY - Kevin Durant is taking nothing for granted these days. Geno Smith Jersey .The reigning MVP missed the first 17 games this season with a broken bone in his right foot, and then played three road games before making his home debut Tuesday night. He got a rousing welcome back from the crowd, and scored 23 points to help the Thunder to a 114-101 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.Just to play here is a blessing, he said. Ive been saying that for a while, but to be out for so long and finally get a chance to play in front of our home crowd — I felt good getting my name called in the starting lineup.Durant was 7 for 11 from the field and 8 for 8 at the line. He also had nine rebounds and seven assists in 29 minutes.Russell Westbrook scored 28 points for the Thunder, who have won five of six after starting the season with a 3-12 record.Were still trying to work some things out, Durant said. You know, Im sure a lot of people are expecting us to be back to playoff-type of basketball right now, but were just like any other team, just trying to continue to just build and keep getting better.O.J. Mayo had 18 points and Giannis Antetokounmpo added 17 for the Bucks, who have lost five of six.We let those guys get in the lane, get in our paint, and we fouled a lot tonight, Mayo said.Durant missed his first two shots, but drained his third, a 3-pointer with 8:08 left in the first quarter. He took a break after scoring seven points in the first 4:51.Westbrooks powerful one-handed putback on a missed 3-pointer by Reggie Jackson put the Thunder up 61-52 at halftime. Oklahoma City shot 60 per cent in the second quarter after a sluggish first.Durant gave the fans another thrill early in the fourth quarter. He pulled in a defensive rebound, brought the ball up court and then used a pick by Kendrick Perkins to get free for an easy two-handed slam that gave the Thunder a 93-82 lead.Durant added a jumper and a no-look bounce pass to Serge Ibaka for a dunk that gave the Thunder a 103-88 lead. Durant left for good with 3:36 remaining and the Thunder holding a 109-90 lead.Hes getting back into rhythm, Westbrook said. Hes getting back in the swing of things.TIP-INSThunder: Oklahoma City was called for a clear path foul after Durant threw a poor pass that was intercepted, and Anthony Morrow had to foul to prevent an easy hoop in the closing seconds of the first quarter. ... Perkins was issued a technical foul with 8:56 left in the second quarter.Bucks: Milwaukee shot 52 per cent in the first quarter to take a 31-26 lead, but shot 36 per cent the rest of the game. ... G Brandon Knight, the Bucks leading scorer for the season with nearly 18 points per game, finished with nine points on 2-for-10 shooting.FINDING THE GROOVEOklahoma City scored a season-high 114 points and shot better than 50 per cent from the field for just the second time this season. Oklahoma City scored at least 100 points for the fourth time in five games after scoring 100 or more just four times in its first 16.FALLING APARTThe Bucks have allowed at least 107 points in four of their past five games. Their opponent shot at least 50 per cent in all four of those games, all losses.We are a young team, so we are going to make mistakes, and make more mistakes the next game, coach Jason Kidd said. We just have to learn from them and correct them. We have to see them before they happen so that we can help one another.QUOTE OF THE NIGHTI just try to feel the game out. Im not trying to worry about doing so much in so little time, I guess, and the last few games, Im just going out there and playing, and whatever happens happens. — Durant.UP NEXTBucks: Host the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday.Thunder: Host Cleveland on Thursday.___Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/CliffBruntAP Darius Philon Jersey . - Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis said Wednesday hes "nodded off" during meetings, but he said its something every player does. Cheap Chargers Jerseys Gear .A. Dickey, even though he was coming off a Cy Young Award in 2012. Many felt the Jays would regret giving up righthanded pitcher prospect Noah Syndergaard and catcher Travis DArnaud over the long haul. http://www.cheapchargersjerseysonline.com/?tag=kyle-emanuel-jersey-online . Off-Season Game Plan looks at what the Blue Jackets may do to build upon last seasons success to return to the playoffs again next year.The Wayward TalentClassic example: Randy MossThis years candidate: Colt LyerlaThe Wayward Talent tantalizes and terrifies NFL scouts all at once. They salivate over what he can do on the field, but they have concerns over whats happened off the field. In the 1998 draft, teams were so terrified of Randy Moss criminal record that they would forgo drafting a 66" receiver who could run a sub 4.4 40-yard dash. Moss fell to the Vikings, and the rest his history. Tight end Colt Lyerla may not be quite as talented, but he possesses some very impressive measurable and is alarmingly athletic [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOMDbl58wJ0]. At 64" and 242lbs, Lyerla ran a 4.61 40-yard dash—which is elite for a tight end that size. Prediction: 4th round. Unfortunately for Lyerla, his arrest for cocaine possession is going to affect his draft day stock. But his talent will likely make him an NFL fixture for quite some time as long as he cleans up his act. The Super-Skilled "Slacker" Classic example: Calvin JohnsonThis years candidate: Jadeveon ClowneyThe prospect with the surplus of skill typically has an off-the-charts 40-yard dash (in this case, 4.53), and sets a record of some sort (South Carolina University record for 13 sacks). In some cases, this potential draftee comes with supposed "work ethic issues" (perhaps lacking competition all your life inevitably leads to some slacking). Such is the case with Jadeveon Clowney. Despite his mind-blowing measurables, many prognosticators are calling for him to fall in the draft.Prediction: Goes 5th overall after a team close to the playoffs trades up to take him. His rumoured lack of work ethic will be mitiggated by the fact that hes a defensive end—a position that requires the exact combo of height, speed, and power that Clowney possesses. Austin Ekeler Jersey. . The System Quarterback Classic example: Tim CouchThis years candidate: AJ McCarrronIn college, the System Quarterback evolves into the product of a scheme put in place by the coaching staff. Legendary flameout Tim Couch couldnt hack it in the NFL because his one-read Air Raid offense at Kentucky didnt prepare him for the complicated offenses of the NFL. This year we have AJ McCarron, who won two national championships on the back of Nick Sabans iron-clad defense. Prediction: A 6th round selection, followed by a largely forgettable career as a backup QB. Every shot of McCarron toting a clipboard on the sideline will be accompanied by a shot of his fiancée Katherine Webb—followed of course by a breathless Brent Musberger. The Inspirational StoryClassic example: Michael OherThis years candidate: Marqise LeeThe Inspirational Story is based on an individuals unlikely path to NFL stardom. Like Michael Ohers story, as recounted in The Blind Side, Marqise Lee took the hard road to the NFL. Growing up, he spent time living on motel room floors, couches, and foster homes, narrowly avoiding gangs, and eventually begging his way into a prep school known for its athletics program.Now hes officially ready for the big time. Prediction: Late first round, to a playoff team like the New Orleans Saints, where Lee will take his inspirational story to the next level.
