The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the host Dallas Mavericks, 119 - 108, in Game 4 of the Western Conference first - round playoffs Saturday at American Airlines Center to take a 3 - 1 series lead. The game was chippy throughout as three technical fouls were assessed and Kevin Durant was ejected. Durant scored 19 points before being tossed for a flagrant - 2 on Justin Anderson late in the fourth quarter. It snapped a 67 - game streak with at least 20 points for Durant. The Thunder took a 33 - 18 lead after the first quarter and never relinquished the lead. Oklahoma City shot 53 percent from the field and outrebounded Dallas 42 to 33. Enes Kanter led all scorers with 28 points, going 12 - for - 13 off the bench. Russell Westbrook tallied 25 points and 15 assists, while Dion Waiters had a nice game off the bench as well, totaling 12 points, four rebounds and four assists. Dallas lost both Deron Williams and Salah Mejri to injuries. Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said Williams, who played 89 seconds, is out for the season after aggravating the sports hernia that kept him out of Game 3. Mejri suffered a right hip injury, and his status for Game 5 is unknown. Dirk Nowitzki was a bright spot in the loss, as he scored 27 points, while also grabbing eight rebounds. Raymond Felton totaled 19 points and 11 assists, while filling in for Williams at point guard. Dallas will look to keep its season alive Monday at Oklahoma City.
