Thunder goes straight back to work after series win

Oklahoma City Thunder players earned a day off after becoming the first Western Conference team to advance to the second round of the NBA playoffs.

But they didn't take it, choosing instead to show up at the team's practice facility on Thursday. They followed that up with a rugged practice and scrimmage on Friday.

"Everybody came in and got their work in so that shows a lot," center Kendrick Perkins said. "So today, guys worked hard at each other. We had a great practice."
