Watch the game on TNT or live stream it here. Bulls fans can listen to the game on 1000 ESPN, while OKC fans can listen in on WWLS 98.1.

The rolling Thunder will be looking for their eighth consecutive win tonight against the Rose-less Bulls, and are coming off an impressive win over the Denver Nuggets at the Pepsi Center. In that game Kevin Durant notched his 12th 30-plus point game of the season.

"It's a good win," Durant said after beating the Nuggets. "We came here and beat a team that plays well at home and has been playing really well since the last time we played them. Any win on the road is tough, so we'll take it." The Nuggets had won 10 of their last 13 games.

Russell Westbrook excelled as well, and has been keying a potent transition game that is torching opponents. "It gives us an opportunity push in the break," Westbrook said of his increased rebounding numbers and spiking assist rate. "It gets us into our sets a lot quicker, it gives us an opportunity to play with a better pace, it gives me a better rhythm and it's good for our team."

OKC enters play averaging 105 points a night, while the Bulls are scratching and clawing to keep their nightly average above 90 while shooting 37.8 percent over their past seven games. Center Joakim Noah won't allow the Bulls to hang their heads.

"We're losing, so mentally it's tough," Noah said. "When you lose, it's not fun but we have to keep battling. The games keep coming and nobody feels sorry for us and we can't feel sorry for ourselves."
