OKLAHOMA CITY, April 10 (UPI) -- Kevin Durant recorded 20 points and 10 rebounds Friday, helping the Oklahoma City Thunder end its inaugural home season with an 84-81 victory over Charlotte.
The Bobcats saw their playoff hopes come to an end.
Durant made a free throw with 1 second to play and Vladimir Radmanovic's desperation 3-point attempt at the buzzer failed to go, leaving the Thunder with a 15-26 home record.
It was their first campaign in Oklahoma City after moving from Seattle following the 2007-08 campaign.
Nenad Krstic contributed 19 points for Oklahoma City, which won for just the second time in nine games.
Charlotte lost for the fourth time in five games, ending its bid for the franchise's first post-season berth. Detroit and Chicago clinched the final two playoff spots in the Eastern Conference earlier Friday.
D.J. Augustin scored 20 for the Bobcats and Boris Diaw had 19.
