He leads all guards in rebounding on the season with an average of 8 per game. The triple - double was n't the only story for OKC, a team that has finally gotten its mojo back following a rocky star after the All-Star break. Former MVP Kevin Durant lit up the Indiana defense for 33 points, while still pulling a game - high 13 rebounds and dishing out eight assists. Sixth man Enes Kanter also made his presence knowing, going for 15 points and 10 rebounds in just 24 minutes of play.

With four wins in a row under their belt, the Thunder will look to keep up solid play as the NBA season winds down. Indiana, meanwhile, is jockying for position at the bottom of the Eastern Conference playoff picture. The Pacers currently hold the seventh spot in the East. Superstar Paul George was the story for Indiana, as he delivered a whopping 45 points on a team - high 29 shot attempts from the field. Indiana's offense was heavily reliant on George, as the All-Star forward shouldered the heavy load for the struggling team. Point guard George Hill also had a noteworthy 20 points and nine assists. OKC will host the Houston Rockets on Tuesday, while Indiana will take on the hapless Philadelphia 76ers on Monday.
