Russell Westbrook scored 24 points, Kevin Durant added 22 and the Oklahoma City Thunder scored the final 8 points to escape with a 95-91 victory over the Dallas Mavericks Monday night and run their home winning streak to 13 games.
Westbrook answered Dirk Nowitzki's fourth 3-pointer of the final quarter by hitting one of his own from the right wing to get Oklahoma City to within 91-90 with 2 minutes 25 seconds left, and Dallas did not score again.
Serge Ibaka made two free throws with 46 seconds left to give Oklahoma City the lead, and Jason Terry missed two shots down the stretch for Dallas.
Nowitzki finished with 27 points but did not touch the ball on a key possession when Dallas was down by 2 with 13 seconds left.
Magic 92, Raptors 88: Dwight Howard had 36 points and 13 rebounds, and Ryan Anderson added 19 points and 13 boards as Orlando beat host Toronto.
J. J. Redick scored 13 points, making a key 3-pointer in the final 10 seconds, and Jameer Nelson had 11 for the Magic, who have won 9 of 12.
