SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Russell Westbrook scored 28 points and
Kevin Durant had 19 points to help the Oklahoma City Thunder beat
the Utah Jazz 101-87 on Friday night.
The Jazz seemed determined to limit Durant's offense -- he had
only 10 field goal attempts -- but Westbrook found extra room to
drive to the basket and created some fast breaks with five steals.
Serge Ibaka had 16 points and 11 rebounds and Kendrick Perkins
added 10 points and 10 rebounds.
The Jazz's big men often helped on Westbrook and Durant,
allowing the Thunder to out-rebound the Jazz 46-32.
Al Jefferson led Utah with 20 points while Raja Bell and Gordon
Hayward each had 13 points, but the Jazz dropped their fifth game
in their past six.
Once Utah's reserves drew within 78-73 early in the fourth
quarter, the Thunder answered with a 7-0 run, capped by Nick
Collison's driving layup.
The Thunder finished their road trip with a 3-2 record.
