(AP)NEWARK, New Jersey: Russell Westbrook capped a 38-point, 15-rebound performance by scoring all of Oklahoma City's 13 points in the third overtime as the Thunder overcame the absence of an injured Kevin Durant with a 123-120 win against the New Jersey Nets Wednesday night.
Jeff Green added a career-high 37 points as the Thunder outlasted New Jersey in a game in which the Nets equalized at the end of regulation on a running 26-foot 3-pointer by Anthony Morrow, then blew leads of six points in the first overtime and three points with 4.6 seconds to go in the second.
Brook Lopez led New Jersey with 28 points and 11 rebounds.
Jordan Farmar added a career-high 28 points and nine assists while starting for injured point guard Devin Harris..
Rockets 109, Lakers 99: At Houston, Kevin Martin scored 22 points and Shane Battier added 11 of his 17 in the final three minutes to lift the Rockets over Los Angeles.
The loss is the fourth in a row for the Lakers, who were led by Kobe Bryant's 27 points.
Lamar Odom had a season-high 25 points with 11 rebounds and two blocks, but did not score in the fourth quarter.
Matt Barnes added 14 points and eight rebounds.
Clippers 90, Spurs 85: At Los Angeles, Blake Griffin had 31 points and 13 rebounds, while Eric Gordon added 21 points as Los Angeles ended an 18-game skid against San Antonio.

They still beat the club with the NBA's best record for the second time in 10 days, following a similarly stunning win over New Orleans late last month.
George Hill scored 17 points and Manu Ginobili added 15 for the Spurs, who dropped to 15-3 with their first road loss of the season after an 8-0 start away from San Antonio.
Tim Duncan had just eight points one night after posting a triple-double at Golden State.
