The Oklahoma City Thunder (17 - 17) defeated the Washington Wizards (22 - 10) 109 - 102 on Friday at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City. Following the third quarter, this game was tied and anyones game for the taking. The Thunder took it upon themselves and were able to out - score the Wizards by seven in the final quarter to seal the victory in front of their home crowd. They shot 53 percent from the field, while the Wizards shot 46 percent from the field, which was just enough of an advantage to secure the victory. Boy do the Thunder enjoy having Kevin Durant back. Durant went 12 - for - 18 from the field and 4 - for - 7 from the three - point line to score 34 points, while also adding eight rebounds. Durant has been scoring at an insane rate over his last three games, as he's averaging 36 points per game over that span. If Durant can keep this pace, he'll have the Thunder sitting pretty come playoffs. Russell Westbrook also did his part. Westbrook finished with 22 points and six assists, giving him new season averages of 27 points and 7 assists per game on the year. Although he's not posting the numbers he did when Durant was sidelined, he's still continuing to have a very high production on the offensive side of the ball. Serge Ibaka had a solid contribution. He went 6 - for - 10 from the field to score 13 points, while adding six rebounds in the process. Despite his scoring opportunities going down with both Durant and Westbrook healthy, he's also able to feed off the extra defensive attention given to those two. The only other Thunder player to reach double figures in points was Nick Collison, who came off the bench to score 10 points in 16 minutes. The Wizards received their biggest contribution from Bradley Beal. Beal went 7 - for - 15 from the field and 3 - for - 5 from the three - point line to score 21 points. He also came pretty close to a triple - double with 10 rebounds and six assists. the 10 rebounds were a season - high for Beal, as it was also his first double - double of the season. Wall had a pretty good game as well. He finished with 14 points (5 - 13 FG, 2 - 6 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT) and 12 assists, as he continues to find his teammates at a spectacular rate. Coming off the bench, Andre Miller had arguably his best game of the season with 15 points (5 - 9 FG, 1 - 1 3Pt, 4 - 4 FT) and three rebounds. After averaging only 4 points per game up until this point, it was a nice surprise for the Wizards. Both Paul Pierce and Nene Hilario finished with 12 points each. The Thunders' next game will be on the road against the Golden State Warriors on Monday, while the Wizards will travel to San Antonio to play the Spurs on Saturday.
