Thunder fire Carlesimo after 1-12 start (AP)
November 23, 2008
The losses kept piling up for P.J. Carlesimo, and it didn't matter which city his team called home. With the relocated Oklahoma City Thunder off to an NBA-worst 1-12 start, Carlesimo was fired as coach Saturday and replaced on an interim basis by assistant Scott Brooks. The firing followed a 105-80 loss to the New Orleans Hornets on Friday night, the Thunder's 10th straight setback.
