The Oklahoma City Thunder (38 - 30) defeated the Boston Celtics (30 - 37) 122 - 118 on Wednesday at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City. This marked a big win for the Thunder, as they passed up the New Orleans Pelicans for the eighth and final projected seed in the Western Conference standings. The Pelicans are just a half game behind them though, with the Suns trailing by just three games as well, so it'll remain a fight for the last seed all the way until the end of the regular season in the West. The Celtics, on the other hand, are currently in the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference standings. They're even with the Indiana Pacers, but hold the tie breaker, so they remain ahead of them for now. The Celtics are also just a game behind the Miami Heat for the seventh spot. With both Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka out due to injury, Russell Westbrook continued to put on a show. He did n't have the best night shooting the ball (8 - 26 FG, 1 - 6 3Pt), but he got to the free throw line at will and converted on 19 - of - 22 attempts to push his scoring total to a game - high of 36 points. He also added five rebounds, 10 assists, and five steals, but turned it over seven times. Over his last 10 games, Westbrook has averaged 33 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists while shooting 42 percent from the field, as he pushes his name even further into MVP consideration. He got some help from Enes Kanter though, who double - doubled with 22 points (10 - 13 FG, 2 - 2 FT) and 10 rebounds in 31 minutes. It marked his fourth double - double in a row, a stretch where he's averaged an impressive 20 points and 13 rebounds per game. Coming off the bench, Anthony Morrow went 7 - for - 11 from the field and 4 - for - 7 from the three - point line to score 20 points, while adding six rebounds as well. Steven Adams remained in the starting lineup with Ibaka out, and added a double - double of his own with 14 points (5 - 9 FG, 4 - 7 FT) and 13 rebounds. Marcus Smart put in arguably the best game of his career in the Celtics' loss. He hit seven three - pointers on his way to 25 points (8 - 14 FG, 7 - 12 3Pt, 2 - 4 FT), while also adding nine rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocked shots, as he did a little bit of everything Wednesday. The points and blocks were both season - highs for the rookie, who now averages 8 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists on the year. Brandon Bass was the other starter to reach the 20 - point mark, as he finished wtih 20 points (8 - 11 FG, 1 - 2 3Pt, 3 - 3 FT) and four assists in 30 minutes. Like Smart, it was a season - high in points for Bass, but it still was n't enough to pull off the win over the Thunder. Coming off the bench, Kelly Olynyk went 7 - for - 13 from the field and 3 - for - 6 from the three - point line to score 20 points in just 23 minutes. It was the first time since early January that he reached 20 points. The Thunder's next game will be at home against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday, while the Celtics will travel to San Antonio to play the Spurs on Friday.
