Hey, remember these two guys?

Thanks to injuries to both, the Oklahoma City Thunder's world-beating tandem of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook played just 27 games together last season.

Durant is only recently returned from a hamstring strain that cost him another six games this season, and he and Westbrook are showing just how happy they are to be playing alongside one another again.

Durant and Westbrook are by far the Thunder's best two-man combination, as Oklahoma City has outscored opponents by 10.9 points per 100 possessions when they share the floor.
