OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)—Kevin Durant(notes) scored 39 points, Russell Westbrook(notes) hit
the winning free throw with 11.4 seconds left in overtime and the Oklahoma City
Thunder finished their longest homestand of the season with a 115-114 victory
against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night.
Durant scored eight of Oklahoma City’s nine points in overtime, but served
as a decoy to create room along the right side of the lane as Westbrook drove to
the basket and got fouled.
Westbrook missed his first free throw, but made the second to put the
Thunder on top.
Monta Ellis’(notes) jumper from the top of the key was wide right at the final
buzzer.
Stephen Curry(notes) led Golden State with 35 points, David Lee(notes) had 24 points and
15 rebounds and Ellis had 20 points and 11 assists.
