Thunder hand Wizards fifth straight loss
(NBA.com Washington Wizards)

There was a pep in the Wizards´ step with Dwight Howard´s return at the outset of Friday night´s homecoming of sorts against the Thunder. Unfortunately, the same problems that surfaced on the long West Coast trip they had just returned from haunted the Wizards again on their home floor. Russell Westbrook and co. took advantage, running away with a 134-111 victory and pushing Washington to 1-7 on the season.
