Ten Before Tip: NBA news from Saturday night

? Oklahoma City forward Kevin Durant, the league's leading scorer (31.0), returns after missing Friday's victory in Boston with a sprained right shoulder. Durant is looking to extend to 10 his streak of games with 30 points or more, something only five players have done since 1990. "Kevin's been on a nice run as a basketball player, not just as an offensive player," OKC coach Scott Brooks said. "Sometimes that gets lost in the run that he's on. He's been making plays on both ends of the floor that impact the game, whether we win or lose. I'm proud that he's done it on the defensive end, and also in the passing department. He can score, like a lot of guys in this league can score, but what makes him a special player is that he wants his teammates to score and he wants to stop the other team from scoring."
