SACRAMENTO -- The surging Oklahoma City Thunder can get a measure of revenge as they attempt to keep a winning streak going Monday night against the Sacramento Kings.
The clubs met at Oklahoma City last month, with the Kings using 26 points from Iman Shumpert to shock the Thunder 131-120.
That was part of a four-game, season-opening losing streak for Oklahoma City, which has since won 10 of 11, including 110-100 on Saturday night in Phoenix to open a three-game Western swing.
The Thunder has been doing it without star guard Russell Westbrook, who missed four straight games due to a sprained ankle before not attending the win at Phoenix so he could witness the birth of twin girls on Sunday.
