In the blinding lights of an arena, people often forget to celebrate those who stood with them through thick and thin. But Oklahoma City Thunder super.

The Hornets and Thunder were tied 33-33 at the end of the first quarter before Charlotte outscored Oklahoma City 66-38 over the second and third quarters to pull away. The Hornets secured twice as many defensive rebounds as the Thunder, and despite committing three times as many turnovers as Oklahoma City, they were able to cruise to victory.
