"The Oklahoma City Thunder are primed for a title run this June.

The Pistons look well on their way to a spot at the draft lottery. Thus, Monday's result was predictable.

The Thunder didn't leave any doubt and the Pistons didn't put up much of a fight with their 99-79 loss at Chesapeake Energy Arena. Guard Russell Westbrook led the Thunder with 24 points, six assists and five rebounds.

The Thunder once were where the Pistons are, when they started 3-29 in head coach Scott Brooks' first season (2008-09) but the next season made the playoffs. Now they own the league's best record (14-3)."
