Thunder 102, Kings 94: Westbrook fends off late run by Kings

Thunder star Russell Westbrook scored ten fourth quarter points to hold off a late run by the Kings on a night that featured Peja Stojakovic's jersey retirement.

The Thunder won their seven straight game and look primed to regain a top spot in the West now that their squad is fully healthy. While their star duo did most of the work, Oklahoma City combined to shoot 47.1% from the field while keeping the Kings at 42.9%.

On the first play of the game, Westbrook stole a lazy screen pass and drove all the way for an easy dunk that gave the Thunder a lead they'd only relinquish twice. Aside from McLemore, the Kings looked listless in the first quarter; Sacramento turned the ball over seven times while allowing Oklahoma City to shoot many open looks that led to a 59.1% clip from the field.

The Kings will be home for two more games, taking on the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday and the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday.
