Thunder blast Warriors
February 18, 2012 18:01:39 UK
James Harden came off the bench to score 25 points as the Oklahoma City Thunder crushed Golden State 110-87.
Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook combined for 41 more as the Western Conference leaders bounced back from a one point loss in Houston last time out. The win was the first of a five game home stand for the Thunder who host the Denver Nuggets, New Orleans Hornets, Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers in the coming week.
Those same Lakers remain hot on the heels of their rival Clippers after a 111-99 victory over the Phoenix Suns at the Staples Center. Kobe Bryant knocked down 36 points to lead the way.
The Memphis Grizzlies also picked up a win, but just edged the Denver Nuggets 103-102. Dante Cunningham's tipped shot as time expired gave Memphis their third win in a row while the Minnesota Timberwolves recorded their second straight with a surprisingly easy triumph in Houston against the Rockets.
Thunder are 2.25 to win the Western Conference while the Lakers are 26.00 and the Clippers are 251.00.
