The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the host Miami Heat, 106 - 94, at America Airlines Arena on Tuesday. While Miami got out to an early lead, that was the only one they'd have all game. In fact, the Thunder led for the final 40 - plus minutes, as they pulled out a near wire - to - wire win. Rebounding was the biggest factor to the Thunder's success, as they won that battle, 46 - 32. Fastbreak points and points in the paint were also decisive, as Oklahoma City outscored Miami, 58 - 32 in the paint and 16 - 4 in fastbreak points. The Thunder finished the game shooting 51 percent from the field, while holding the Heat to just 44 percent. Oklahoma City (20 - 12) have riden the back of Russell Westbrook all season and he carried the load once again here. Westbrook notched his 15th triple - double of the season, as he accumulated 29 points, 17 rebounds and 11 assists in the win. Steven Adams was the only other starter in double figures, as he totaled 15 points and eight rebounds. Enes Kanter was a nice spark off the bench, providing 19 points and eight rebounds. On deck for the Thunder is a road matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday. Miami (10 - 22) had to play this game without Goran Dragic and it clearly hampered them in this loss.

The Johnson's once again led the bench in scoring, as Josh Johnson accrued 16 points and five rebounds, while Tyler Johnson dropped 15 points, two rebounds and two assists.

The Heat will look to play better on Thursday in a road matchup against the Charlotte Hornets.
