The Thunder are being led by Kevin Durant, as usual, with 18 points on 8-of-10 shooting and James Harden has 18 points off the bench. The surprise for the Thunder is that Russell Westbrook has only four points at the half, but Kendrick Perkins is having one of his better games with 14 points so far. The Thunder as a whole are playing very well by shooting 66 percent from the field so far.
The Heat have 13 points from LeBron James and 11 from Dwyane Wade, and even though they are shooting 58 percent from the field the Heat trail by 10.
If the Thunder can keep this up they will prove that they are a championship caliber team.
