The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Dallas Mavericks, 118 - 104, Monday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena to win their Western Conference first - round playoff series, 4 - 1. The Thunder led from wire - to - wire in this one thanks to an 11 - point lead they built behind a 35 - point first quarter. Dallas managed to get it as close as four points in the fourth quarter, but up 107 - 103 with 4:8 to go, the Thunder rattled off an 110 run to seal the deal. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook dominated this one to win Oklahoma City's fifth consecutive first round series, as the Thunder's superstars each poured in over 30 points in the victory. Westbrook finished an assist shy of a triple - double and scored 36 points (13 - 23 FG, 3 - 8 3PT, 7 - 8 FT) with 12 rebounds, both game highs. Durant added 33 points (11 - 24 FG, 3 - 11 3PT, 8 - 8 FT) to finish an up - and - down series in which he shot just 37 percent (43 - 117) from the floor. Oklahoma City also got a double - double from center Steven Adams, who notched 15 points (5 - 8 FG, 5 - 9 FT) and 10 rebounds. The Thunder shot 51 percent from the floor and won both the rebounding (42 - 35) and free throw battles (26 - 20). Dirk Nowitzki led the Mavericks with 24 points (8 - 16 FG, 3 - 6 3PT, 5 - 5 FT) to close the series with consecutive 20 - point games. The Mavericks had six players in double figures, including Dwight Powell (16 points, 6 - 7 FG) and Justin Anderson (14 points, 5 - 10 FG, 2 - 5 3PT), but they could n't keep up with the explosive Thunder and the performances of Durant and Westbrook. The Mavericks shot just 8 - 24 (33 percent) from the three - point line and needed more from downtown if they were going to compete against Oklahoma City. The Thunder will face the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Semifinals.
