(SportsNetwork.com) - The Oklahoma City Thunder begin a five-game road trip against the Eastern Conference, starting Sunday night at the Amway Center against the Orlando Magic. The Thunder have lost four straight as the visitor, but have won two of their last three overall. On Friday, Oklahoma Citys superstars played like it in a 127-115 home win over the Golden State Warriors, the team with the best record in all of the NBA. Russell Westbrook recorded a monster triple-double, the ninth of his career, Kevin Durant scored 36 points and Serge Ibaka added 27 as Oklahoma City rolled. Westbrook finished with 17 points, 17 assists and 15 rebounds for the Thunder, who were coming off Thursdays loss in Houston and entered play 3 1/2 games behind the Phoenix Suns for the eighth spot in the Western Conference. Our mindset was a little different. We didnt take losing as an option, said Durant. We came out with a lot of energy on both ends, our crowd was great, and it was a good win for us. A Westbrook tip-in just before the buzzer yielded a 69-60 cushion at the break, and even though the Warriors clawed within a possession several times in the third, they never went ahead. Anthony Morrows 3-pointer beat the third-quarter buzzer, and the Thunder took a 98-91 advantage into the final frame. Ibaka came alive with 14 fourth- quarter points, including a 3-pointer that put the Thunder in front by double digits, 114-103, for the first time. The margin was never closer than nine the rest of the way. Dion Waiters scored 21 points off Oklahoma Citys bench and Morrow chipped in 12 for the second unit. The Magic had a two-game winning streak come to an end on Friday with a 10- point home loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Sundays game completes a challenging three-game homestand, which started with a win over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. On Friday, Elfrid Payton recorded the third double-double of his rookie season with 22 points and 12 assists for the Magic, who were coming off surprising wins over the Bulls and Rockets. I was able to get into the paint, said Payton. Shots were falling today. Nik Vucevic managed 18 points and nine rebounds, followed by 17 out of Channing Frye. Victor Oladipo added 16 points in the losing cause. The Magic closed the gap to four points with under two minutes to play. Jeff Green answered with a slam off a nice pass from Marc Gasol, and after Payton missed from long range, Green went baseline on Oladipo for a second time and finished it with another dunk to all but seal the win.

The Flames are off to a 2-0-2 start to a season that was supposed to be all about rebuilding. If one judges the youth movement by the play of 18-year-old Sean Monahan early this season, it would seem the rebuilding project is going extremely well. Monahan, the sixth overall pick at the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, tallied a goal and an assist to lift the Flames to a 3-2 win over visiting Montreal on Wednesday and has already recorded five points (3G, 2A) in his first four games as an NHLer. The rookie opened up the scoring for the Flames on Wednesday a little less than 10 minutes into the game. Travis Moen coughed up the puck in the neutral zone to Monahan, who advanced into Montreals zone and dished a backhand pass over to Lee Stempniak. Stempniak fired a shot off goaltender Carey Price and Monahan was there to tap the rebound into the back of the net. "(Monahan) is having fun, he is bringing passion, he is bringing excitement and hes learning. He is a pretty special kid," Flames head coach Bob Hartley said of the 18-year-old rookie. Joey MacDonald stopped 33-of-35 Montreal shots to ensure the victory for the Flames. Calgary is capping a three-game homestand on Friday and will begin a five-game road trip when it plays Wednesday evening in Anaheim. Although the Devils are winless through four games, the club has earned three points thanks to their last three setbacks coming after regulation. Still, the 0-1-3 start is the worst for New Jersey since it went 0-3-1 to begin the 2001-02 campaign.dddddddddddd Another loss on Friday would give the Devils its longest stretch without a win to begin a season since the Colorado Rockies where 0-4 with a tie through five games in 1981-82. The Devils are in the midst of a five-game road trip and will try to get on the board with a win in the third test of that swing in Calgary. Unfortunately for New Jersey it has lost two straight and three of its past four trips to the Saddledome and the Flames are 5-2-2 in the last nine meetings between the clubs overall. Jersey was last in action on Tuesday, when it lost a 3-2 overtime decision to the Vancouver Canucks, who received a game-winner from Mike Santorelli at 2:18 of the extra session. In the extra session, Jason Garrison let fly with a shot from the point that zipped past a screened Cory Schneider. Garrison was originally credited with the goal, but it was subsequently changed to Santorelli, who was jostling in front of the netminder with New Jerseys Marek Zidlicky. "I saw Garrison block the middle. I looked one way and next thing I know it is in the net. There was some traffic and I just didnt look hard enough to find it," Schneider said of the game-winning tally. Schneider, of course, was acquired by the Devils from Vancouver in a draft-day deal earlier this year and he stopped 29 shots in a losing effort against his former club. Jaromir Jagr and Patrik Elias each posted a goal and an assist for the Devils. ' ' '
