The host Oklahoma City Thunder narrowly edged out the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, 105 - 99, at Chesapeake Energy Arena. Oklahoma City (30 - 22) managed to swing the game in its favor on the back of strong play from All-Star point guard Russell Westbrook. Despite falling below his typical output in assists and rebounds, Westbrook led the team with a whopping 42 points. His eight assists also led the team. The Thunder hit only four three - pointers on the night, but made up for lackluster perimeter shooting with strong big man play. The Thunder held a 56 - 44 rebounding advantage that included at least 11 boards from three different players. Portland (22 - 30) made headlines for the wrong reasons on Friday after allowing a season - high to Mavericks rookie Yogi Ferrell. On Sunday, the Blazers were unable to bounce back from the loss despite strong play from their own star point guard. After a horrendous game in Dallas, Damian Lillard scored a team - high 29, while pulling down seven rebounds. Portland saw a decent night from beyond the arc, knocking down 10 three - pointers as a team. However, Portland ultimately could not limit Oklahoma City's second chances on the boards. The Thunder will visit Indiana on Monday to play the Pacers, while the Blazers will head to Dallas again on Tuesday to face off with the Mavericks.
