Oklahoma City Thunder head coach P.J. Carlesimo reacts during an NBA basketball game against the New Orleans Hornets in Oklahoma City, Friday, Nov. 21, 2008. The Oklahoma City Thunder have fired coach P.J. Carlesimo, with the team off to an NBA-worst 1-12 start in its new city.

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.
