The Nets squandered a 23-point lead and allowed Oklahoma City to tie it at 85 before ripping off a 23-8 run to seize control right back. Durant was ejected near the end of the surge,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], arguing with Danny Crawford after the referee had already issued a technical foul against Kendrick Perkins. Durant scored 27 points and Russell Westbrook had 26 points and 10 assists for Oklahoma City, which lost for only the third time at home this season. Durant,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the three-time scoring champion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], had never before been ejected in his six NBA seasons but got tossed after Brooklyn rallied largely from the foul line. The Nets made 11 free throws in a span of just over 5 minutes, pulling away after Oklahoma City had finally fought all the way back. Carlesimo against the team that fired him back in 2008.

the tide for Brooklyn, but Oklahoma City kept coming. Durant and Kevin Martin connected on consecutive 3-pointers to finally even it up at 85 with 7:11 to play, only for Johnson to answer with a runner at the other end to put the Nets right back ahead and start the clinching run. The Nets managed to get Carlesimo a rare win in Oklahoma City that proved difficult during his brief stretch on the Thunder sidelines. Carlesimo was the coach when Oklahoma City got its franchise,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], leading the SuperSonics for their final season in Seattle and then going 1-12 in charge of the Thunder. He was fired and replaced on an interim basis Scott Brooks, who has overseen the team's rise into a championship contender. Back when Carlesimo was in charge,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Durant was starting his second year in the NBA and Westbrook was a rookie who had yet to break into the starting lineup. Now, they're both established All-Stars. "For it to come together as quickly as it has, I think people believed that this was going to be a good team, with the nucleus they had and even starting out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the pieces," Carlesimo said beforehand. "Russell,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], of course,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was a huge addition the first year here and ever since then, there's been good moves and they've tweaked it." Carlesimo also singled out the additions of Thabo Sefolosha and Perkins after he was fired key steps in the franchise's rise. "It's a team I feel closer to than a lot of other teams. Hopefully,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we helped KD and Nick (Collison) a little bit and Russell a tiny bit that first year, but I think it's safe to say they've gone on and overcome whatever coaching they got from me," Carlesimo said, drawing laughs. At the start, it looked like Carlesimo's new squad would run away with it against the Thunder, who started the day with the league's best record. Johnson and Lopez combined to go 9 for 9 from the field to propel the Nets to a quick 27-11 lead, and Brooklyn tried to keep the hammer down by re-inserting Williams after they had committed three turnovers in a span of five possessions without him to start the second quarter. Upon returning,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Williams immediately set up Keith Bogans for a 3-pointer, then used a behind-the-back,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bounce pass for an assist on Kris Humphries' jumper before nailing a 3-pointer of his own to push the lead out to 45-24. Brooklyn led by as much as 23 twice at 55-32 after Johnson drilled a 3-pointer off a touch pass from Gerald Wallace Westbrook and Serge Ibaka teamed up to score nine straight points to breathe some life into Oklahoma City. Notes: Carlesimo's only win with the Thunder the SuperSonics had relocated from Seattle at home on Nov. 2, 2008,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], against Minnesota. . The Thunder's largest previous deficit of the season was 16 in a loss at home against Memphis. . Oklahoma City got a delay of game warning for failing to get onto the court in time for tip-off, as part of the NBA's emphasis on allowing teams 90 seconds between the end of introductions and the tip-off. . Nets reserve Jerry Stackhouse sat out with a sore right hamstring.
