THE Oklahoma City Thunder took advantage of Dirk Nowitzki's continued absence to beat the host Dallas Mavericks 99-95 in the NBA yesterday.
Kevin Durant scored 28 points while Russell Westbrook had 15 points and nine assists for the Thunder.
Shawn Marion had a season-high 25 points for the Mavericks, who were without top scorer Nowitzki for a career-longest sixth straight game with a sprained knee.
Nowitzki is day-to-day and there had been speculation that he might try to play against the Thunder. The nine-time All-Star, averaging 24.1 points, has been shooting at practices. Dallas also is missing No. 3 scorer Caron Butler, out for the season after tearing a tendon in his right knee.
Kings 122, Nuggets 102
In Sacramento, Tyreke Evans had 27 points and a season-high 12 assists for Sacramento in the win over Denver.
The Kings had a 23-2 run midway through the second half to build a 21-point lead in their highest-scoring game of the season. They shot 56 percent and gave coach Paul Westphal his 300th career victory.
DeMarcus Cousins added 20 points for the Kings.
Carmelo Anthony had 26 points for the Nuggets, who committed 23 turnovers.
