Kevin Durant tallied 31 points, Russell Westbrook scored 29 as the Oklahoma City Thunder extended their winning streak to seven with a 111-92 win over the San Antonio Spurs Saturday. The Thunder took advantage of the Spurs decision to sit four of its five regular starters and sixth man Manu Ginobili. Kawhi Leonard, LaMarcus Aldridge, Tim Duncan and Tony Parker also didn't suit up for San Antonio at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. In their absence, David West and Jonathon Simmons each had 17 points to lead the Spurs. Both teams are likely locked into their playoff positions in the Western Conference. Oklahoma City will be the No. 3 seed and San Antonio figures to be No. 2 behind the Golden State Warriors. The Thunder, who have won their last half dozen contests by an average margin of 16 points, used their regular lineup but didn't accomplish much until the second half. Oklahoma City went on a 8-0 burst midway through the third quarter to open a 13-point lead with just over four minutes left in the quarter. The Thunder eventually outscored the Spurs 35-19 in the quarter — the most points given up by the Spurs in a quarter this season. Oklahoma City led by just 48-44 at halftime. Cavaliers 107, Knicks 93: LeBron James recorded the 42d triple-double of his career and second in a week, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 107-93 win over the New York Knicks. James scored 27 points, pulled in 11 rebounds and delivered 10 rebounds. On Monday in a 124-91 win against Denver, James scored 33 points, with 11 rebounds and 11 assists. Raptors 115, Pelicans 91: One night after being ejected in the fourth quarter for arguing a call, DeMar DeRozan scored 11 of his game-high 23 points in the third quarter to lift the Toronto Raptors to a 115-91 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. In snapping a two-game road losing streak, the Raptors (49-23) matched their franchise record for most victories in a season, with 10 games remaining. The Raptors have increased their win total in each of the last five seasons. Nets 120, Pacers 110: Brook Lopez scored 14 of his 23 points during the fourth quarter and the Brooklyn Nets rallied for a 120-110 victory over the Indiana Pacers. Lopez was 2-of-9 shooting as the Nets trailed by 14 early in the second quarter and faced a 93-85 deficit going into the fourth quarter. He helped the Nets get the lead, hitting a short jumper for a 106-102 lead with 4:26 remaining and then made plays at both ends down the stretch. Magic 111, Bulls 89: Center Dewayne Dedmon scored a career-high 18 points and grabbed a season-high 13 rebounds in leading the Orlando Magic to an easy, 111-89 victory over the hapless Chicago Bulls. The Magic (30-43) snapped a six-game losing streak. The Bulls (36-36) lost their third consecutive game as their once-legitimate playoff hopes continued to fade. Hawks 112, Pistons 95: Paul Millsap had 23 points, nine rebounds and five assists and the Atlanta Hawks snapped the Detroit Pistons' five-game winning streak with a 112-95 victory at The Palace. Kent Bazemore contributed 17 points and Al Horford added 13 points, five rebounds and five assists for the Hawks (44-30), who extended their Southeast Division lead to one game over Miami. Jazz 93, Timberwolves 84: Gordon Hayward scored 16 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter and the Utah Jazz beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 93-84. Derrick Favors scored 19 points for Utah, which went 3-2 on a season-long five-game road trip. The Jazz have won seven of nine. Rodney Hood had 15 points, Trey Lyles had the same amount off the bench and Rudy Gobert had 11 rebounds. Other results: Celtics 102, Suns 99; Trail Blazers 108, 76ers 105; Hornets 115, Bucks 91. — Agencies
