OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant scored 33 points, Nick Collison added 18 points in his first game back from an injury and the Oklahoma City Thunder handed the Philadelphia 76ers their eighth straight loss, 117-106 on Wednesday night.

Word that 10-time All-Star Allen Iverson would be returning to Philly wasn't enough to keep the Sixers from suffering their longest losing streak since 2006.

Oklahoma City opened the second half on a 14-5 run to take a 68-61 lead on Sefolosha's 3-pointer from the left corner, and the Thunder led the rest of the way.

Jeff Green added 19 points, Thabo Sefolosha and Nenad Krstic scored 12 apiece and Russell Westbrook had a career-high 15 assists for Oklahoma City.

Andre Iguodala led Philadelphia with 28 points.
