OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma City Thunder had five players score in double digits Wednesday on the way to a 117-105 victory over the Houston Rockets.
The Thunder (18-8) shot 58 percent from the field as a team, led by Kevin Durant’s game-high 32 points on 12-of-18 shooting. Jeff Green scored 21 points, and James Harden added 16 points off the bench. Russell Westbrook scored 17, and Thabo Sefolosha scored 15.
The Rockets (10-15) also had five players score in double figures, and Kevin Martin led the way with 22 points. Luis Scola scored 18 points, Kyle Lowry had 15, and Courtney Lee and Jordan Hill combined to score 25 off the bench.
Oklahoma City also dominated the glass, out-rebounding the Rockets 41-28. Sefolosha finished one rebound shy of his first double-double of the season.
The two teams finished the first quarter tied 31-31, and the Rockets used an early second-quarter push to take the lead. But Oklahoma City responded with a 10-2 run to retake the lead, and did not trail for the rest of the night.
The Thunder extended its winning streak to four games and has scored at least 100 points in three of those contests. Oklahoma City will continue its home stand by hosting the Sacramento Kings at 7 p.m. Friday.
