OKLAHOMA CITY —Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook have again reached the playoffs precipice, a familiar spot that could go by another name:

Their happy place.

The Oklahoma City Thunder stars have persevered through every the-end-is-nigh scenario this spring when it would have been easy to go quietly into the night of the off-season.

Maybe that’s why Westbrook playfully wore his practice jersey draped across his back like a superhero’s cape Friday and Durant spoke about the power of positive thinking even though his team faces a 3-2 deficit against the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference finals. Game 6 is Saturday at Chesapeake Energy Arena.

“We know that it’s a situation where we lose, we go home, and nobody wants to do that, so we just leave it all out there and whatever happens we live with,” Durant said. “Most of the time when we play extremely hard, play well, play together, we come out on top.”

It’s happened several times now, the Thunder emphatically answering every question about its resolve in these playoffs.

Face a pair of elimination games against the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round? No biggie. Durant scored 36 points in Game 6 and Westbrook collected 27 points and 16 assists in Game 7.
