Kevin Durant, Thunder hand Pistons 12th straight loss

Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder overcame a halftime deficit to beat the lowly Detroit Pistons.

Scott Brooks' team might still be a little rusty with its two stars back in the lineup, but Durant had 28 points and the Thunder did enough to beat the Pistons 96-94 on Sunday.

Durant, in his third game back from offseason foot surgery, made 10 of his 19 points in his best shooting performance so far and Russell Westbrook scored 22 with 11 rebounds and seven assists in his fourth game back after missing 14 with a broken hand.

Serge Ibaka added 13 points and 13 rebounds in Oklahoma City's fourth win in its last five.

The Thunder survived a late baseline miss from Westbrook when Josh Smith was off on a 3-pointer at the other end with 1.1 seconds remaining.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 19 points to lead the Pistons, who have lost 12 in a row for the first time in five years.
