The Oklahoma City Thunder (21 - 20) defeated the Miami Heat (18 - 23) 94 - 86 on Tuesday at American Airlines Arena in Miami. Down just 50 - 49 at half, the Thunder used a strong third quarter to build themselves a lead, out - scoring the Heat 23 - 17. After grabbing a solid lead following that quarter, the Heat were never able to come back as the Thunder secured the eight - point victory on the road in Miami. Despite being out - shot by the Heat, the Thunder out - rebounded them 42 - 36 and forced Miami into 21 turnovers, which turned out to be the difference in this game. The Thunder were led by their superstar duo of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. Durant nearly recorded a triple - double with 19 points (9 - 24 FG, 0 - 8 3Pt, 1 - 1 FT), eight rebounds and eight assists. He also notched a season - high of four steals, as he did it both offensively and defensively for the Tunder on Tuesday. Westbrook on the other hand finished with 19 points (8 - 17 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt, 3 - 4 FT) of his own, while also recording 10 rebounds, six assists and four steals. It marked his second double - double in his last three games, along with the third time in the last four games that he's recorded four or more steals. Reggie Jackson was a big bench presence for the Thunder in this game. He went a very efficient 7 - for - 9 from the floor and 2 - for - 3 from the three - point line to score 16 points in 25 minutes. Both Steven Adams and Anthony Morrow reached double figures in points as well with 10 and 12 points respectively. Like Durant and Westbrook of the Thunder, the duo of Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh had the most production for the Heat. Wade finished with 18 points (8 - 18 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt, 2 - 4 FT) and six assists, while Bosh had 16 points (5 - 12 FG, 1 - 3 3Pt, 5 - 6 FT) and seven rebounds. Bosh has been unguardable in his last three games, averaging 24 points and seven rebounds over that span. Wade sat out the last two games with a hamstring injury, so it was good to see him come back and play a full minutes load. The only other member of the Heat to reach double figures in points was Hassan Whiteside, who started at center and recorded 10 points and two rebounds. Whiteside is averaging 7 points per game, but has now recorded double - digit points in seven of his last eight games. Coming off the bench, Danny Granger went 3 - for - 5 from the field and 2 - for - 3 from beyond the arc to score nine points in 25 minutes. The Thunder's next game will be on the road against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday, while the Heat will travel to Charlotte to play the Hornets on Wednesday.
