The 112 point showing marked the 12th time in 13 games the Thunder have scored over 100 points. That has been thanks in large part to Kevin Durant and his stellar play.
Durant has put up at least 20 points in each of his last 21 games. He had 26 points and 17 rebounds in the win over Memphis last time out.
The lone negative spot for the Thunder has been their road play. OKC is just 8-6 SU on the road this year.
Los Angeles
The Lakers have been showing some fight as of late.
After going down by 20+ on Thursday in Sacramento, the Lakers battled all the way back to cut it to as close as 1 point. They had a chance to tie it at the end with a 3, but came up short.
