Thunder keep on rolling
Print Edition
Oklahoma City moved into sole possession of the NBA lead with a 117-86 rout of Houston on Sunday, with Kevin Durant scoring 33 points and adding 13 rebounds.
The Thunder again made light of the absence of the injured Russell Westbrook, taking a comfortable win that moved them out of a tie with Portland for the overall lead.
Houston’s loss and San Antonio’s win over Sacramento moved the Spurs four games clear atop the Southwest Division.
Oklahoma City made it 12 wins from 13 games, as Jeremy Lamb added a career-high 22 points and five assists, while Reggie Jackson — starting in Westbrook’s place — had 16 points and eight assists.
Aaron Brooks had 17 points for Houston, which was playing its fourth game in five days, and after winning the previous three they were convincingly beaten by the Thunder. The Rockets shot 36.5 percent from the field (31 of 85).
San Antonio’s veteran trio performed extremely well in the closing stages to guide the Spurs to a 112-104 win over Sacramento.
Manu Ginobili scored 28 points, Tony Parker added 22, and Tim Duncan had 17 points and 13 rebounds for the Spurs.
