(SportsNetwork.com) - The Oklahoma City Thunder are coming off consecutive scoring outbursts and look to push their win streak to three games when they resume a five-game road trip Tuesday against the Miami Heat. The Thunder delivered a 127-115 victory over the NBA-best Golden State Warriors on Friday, then followed that with Sundays 127-99 dismantling of the Orlando Magic in the opener of the road trip. Kevin Durant scored 21 points to go along with 11 rebounds and eight assists, while Russell Westbrook posted 17 points and six assists. Serge Ibaka and Dion Waiters scored 16 points apiece for the Thunder, who shot 57.8 percent from the floor, had a 54-33 rebounding advantage and ended a four-game road skid. Oklahoma City lit up the Magic for 79 points in the first half, the most the Thunder have scored in a half since relocating from Seattle. OKC scored 42 points in the second quarter and made 16-of-21 shots in the period. The Magic were held to 39.8 percent shooting and committed 18 turnovers. They trailed 95-60 after a reverse jam by Westbrook and 105-78 on a Waiters dunk. We came out with the defense we talked about to start this road trip, Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. Everybody was really locked in and engaged. The Thunder are 8-13 on the road and 12-5 since Durant returned from foot surgery. They reached the .500 mark at 20-20 and will also visit the Washington Wizards, Atlanta Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers on the swing. Miami sits four games under .500 at 18-22 and is back in south Florida after going 3-2 on a five-game western jaunt. The Heat closed the trek with a 95-83 triumph over the Sacramento Kings on Friday, as Chris Bosh scored 30 points and Luol Deng added 25. Shabazz Napier was the other double-digit scorer with 12 points for Miami, which shot 47.3 percent and played its second straight game without Dwyane Wade (hamstring). We were just trying to get after them. Thats a very talented offensive team, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. We tried to put as much pressure on their perimeters as we could. Guys stepped up to that challenge. Miami improved to 17-0 all-time when Bosh reached 30 points and is 17-2 this season when leading after three quarters. Wade (22.1 ppg) is questionable for Tuesdays game for the Heat, who are 7-12 at home and will visit the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. Wade is one game shy of 750 in his career, while Bosh is 58 points short of 16,000. The Heat sit near the bottom in scoring with 93.5 points per game, but are allowing 97.2 ppg on defense. Miami and Oklahoma City will play the first of two matchups this season and are scheduled to meet again March 22 in OKC. The Heat and Thunder split two games last season, while Miami is 7-1 in the previous eight encounters. The Heat dispatched the Thunder in five games to win the NBA title in 2012.

Fake NCAA Jerseys . -- Fresh off their surprising run in the playoffs, the Portland Trail Blazers have signed head coach Terry Stotts to a multi-year contract extension.ORLANDO, Fla. -- A big early deficit and an opponents hot shooting hand didnt faze Nikola Vucevic or the rest of the Orlando Magic. Vucevic scored 24 points and grabbed 23 rebounds, and Jameer Nelson had five points in overtime as the Magic edged the Charlotte Bobcats 110-105 on Friday night. Aaron Afflalo, who finished with 17 points, sent the game into overtime with a 3-pointer with 7.6 seconds remaining as Orlando won its second straight. In overtime, Nelsons 3-pointer with 2:26 left put Orlando ahead for good. "I knew it would turn around," Vucevic said. "I kept my confidence high. I had all good looks," said Vucevic, who was 11-for 22 from the field. "A 15-16 point lead in this league is nothing. You have to keep fighting, grinding and thats what we did tonight." Vucevic, who recorded his fifth career game with 20 points and 20 rebounds, keyed a dominant rebounding effort (57-36) by Orlando. His first-half total of 16 matched Charlottes team total through two quarters. Orlando, which trailed during the first 44 minutes, took a 94-93 lead on an Afflalos free throw with 1:12 left. But Josh McRoberts, who had a career-high 24 points, drove the lane to put Charlotte ahead. Kemba Walker then hit a fadeaway jumper with 14.6 seconds left to put the Bobcats up three -- setting up Afflalos tying 3. "It was great fight by all of the guys," Orlando coach Jacque Vaughn said. "Whether it was the unit that started the fourth quarter and really got us going defensively to put up a 16-point quarter versus a team like that or the mental fight of Nik Vucevic, who starts out the game 4-for-14 and doesnt give in and wills his way and helps his team. Pretty impressive in a lot of different ways." The Bobcats looked as though they had escaped after Walkers final basket in regulation, but a defensive lapse gave Afflalo a look, and the game went to overtime. "All youve got to do is do what were supposed to do right there and the game ends. That was it," Charlotte coach Steve Clifford said. "We have to make one play that you make time after time and we didnt make the play.&quuot; Tobias Harris had 15 points for the Magic, while Victor Oladipo added 14 and Kyle OQuinn 13.ddddddddddddNelson, who missed the last four games with a sore knee, had 11. Walker matched McRoberts with 24 points for Charlotte, while Al Jefferson scored 20. Gerald Henderson added 14 and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist 10. "That was our biggest emphasis coming in: to get to the glass and be physical," Clifford said. "We werent willing to do that to start the game and thats what kept them (Orlando) in the game. I want to see a recommitment to the way we were defending and rebounding early in the year consistently. Were sporadic now." Orlando pulled to within one point twice in the third quarter, the last when OQuinns layup made it 59-58 with 7:17 remaining. Charlotte answered as McRoberts drained back-to-back 3-pointers and scored eight points during a 16-6 run that pushed the Bobcats lead back to double-digits at 75-64. Charlotte took an 81-74 lead into the fourth quarter. McRoberts, whose six 3-pointers were a career high, was often left unchallenged from 3-point range and took full advantage. He was 4-for-6 from behind the arc for all 12 of his first-half points as the Bobcats took a 50-41 halftime lead. Charlotte scored the games first five points and hit nine of its first 11 shots to take a 22-10 advantage on Kidd-Gilchrists dunk with 6:52 remaining. The Bobcats led by as many as 16 in the opening quarter. Orlando used 11 rebounds from Vucevic and eight points off the bench from Harris in the second quarter to get as close as 43-39 with 1:31 remaining in the second quarter. Charlotte then scored the next six points and finished the half on a 7-2 run to take a nine-point halftime lead. NOTES: The loss sent Charlotte 2 1/2 games behind Washington for the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference. ... This was only the third time since January that Charlotte lost to a team with a losing record. ... This was Orlandos 1,000th regular-season victory. ... Nelson also had eight assists and four rebounds in 32 minutes. ... The Magic went to the free-throw line 35 times, compared to Charlottes 14. ' ' '
