OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Kevin Durant scored 40 points, Russell Westbrook added 22 points and 11 assists, and the Oklahoma City Thunder avenged a loss at Memphis earlier this week by beating the Grizzlies 109-100 on Saturday night.
Durant eclipsed 40 points for the second time in two weeks, hitting a pair of free throws and then a jumper from the left elbow after Memphis had pulled within two in the final 2 minutes.
The Thunder then put it away from the foul line, ending Memphis’ bid to win four straight games for only the second time this season.
Zach Randolph had 27 points and 16 rebounds — including nine on the offensive end — and Rudy Gay scored 20 for the Grizzlies. Memphis beat Oklahoma City 110-105 on Tuesday night in Tennessee.
