THUNDER vs SPURS Watch Live Stream FREE Online & Listen: Live Coverage from San Antonio

At 8:00 p.m. ET tonight on ESPN, the NBA's hottest player, Kevin Durant, will lead the Oklahoma City Thunder (32-10) into San Antonio to take on the defending Western Conference champion Spurs (32-9) in a heavyweight battle that can be live streamed here. Thunder fans can hear the game on WWLS 98.1, while San Antonio fans may do the same on 1200 WOAI.

Durant has won multiple scoring titles already in his young career, but the 25-year-old superstar is playing the best basketball of his life. In the last eight games Durant has upped his season scoring average to 30.9 points a night, including 39.3 points a game during the stretch.

He's increased his scoring and overall playmaking without Russell Westbrook, and they've won four straight games. "What can you say? The guy just brings everything he has to the floor every single night," Thunder head coach Scott Brooks said.

Despite all the accolades being thrown his way now, Durant is wary of the Spurs, who won't be starry-eyed when he steps on the court. "We know how tough it is to win there," Durant said. "We know how tough that team is. You've just got to come prepared and with a lot of energy. I think our group is ready to come out there and play our game, and we'll see what happens."

San Antonio has been hot too, winning seven of their last eight games, but could be without All-Star point guard Tony Parker. The Spurs' red-hot run isn't enough for coach Gregg Popovich though, who believes there's room for his veteran club to step it up.

"Coaches are sick puppies," Popovich said. "There's always things you can improve and do better. You look at the film, try to keep your standard and get ready for playoffs."
