THUNDER 102, MAGIC 74
Kevin Durant scored 28 points, Russell Westbrook added 17 points and 10 assists and Oklahoma City ran away from Orlando in the second half.
The Magic played for the fourth time this season without Vince Carter and Rashard Lewis, and also added Ryan Anderson to their injured list. The team seemed to run out of gas after a strong start.
The Thunder raced out of halftime to score the first eight points, and then added a 9-0 spurt shortly thereafter to push its lead to 72-49 on Nick Collison's basket in the lane midway through the third period.
