After losing to one of the NBA's worst teams, the Lakers are close to setting the longest home losing streak in franchise history.

Preventing that infamous milestone could prove problematic for the Lakers with the Western Conference's most dominant team coming to Los Angeles tonight.

Injury-prone Los Angeles has lost 21 of their last 26 games, including six consecutive losses on their own court after losing by the final score of 96-79 to the basement dwelling Utah Jazz on Tuesday. The Lakers have never lost seven straight home games in a season since leaving Minneapolis to move to Los Angeles back in 1960.

Kevin Durant and the red hot Oklahoma City Thunder will attempt to give the Lakers a seventh straight defeat at Staples Center before the All-Star break this week.

Durant has been on the greatest scoring streak of his career over the past 21 games, averaging at least 35.2 points and 53% shooting. After scoring 41 points on Sunday's 112-100 victory against Carmelo Anthony's New York Knicks, Durant totaled 36 points along with 10 rebounds in a 98-95 win in Portland against the Trailblazers on Tuesday.

"We fought hard," said Durant on the Thunder's official website adding. "We're a resilient team. We don't only play hard when we're winning. We're not only happy when we're winning. We keep our heads up through adversity and through tough times. That's just how we are as an organization."
