Start to Finish – In a game in which the Bulls never led, the Thunder rode 51.2 percent shooting to an easy win. Kevin Durant scored 32 points with nine rebounds, six assists and three steals, with Russell Westbrook adding 20 points and 10 assists. The Thunder also led in fastbreak points 24-10. The Bulls got 23 points, 12 rebounds and two steals from Joakim Noah but shot just 37.7 percent as a team (27.6 percent from three).

San Antonio Spurs 104, GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS 102

Talk About Statements – “We can beat you on your home floor with our three best players out.” That’s what the Spurs did Thursday night, behind 28 from Marco Belinelli and 21 points and 10 rebounds from Kawhi Leonard. And, it was on a road back-to-back for the Spurs. Wow. The Warriors got 32 points and 13 rebounds from David Lee and 30 points, 15 assists and four steals from Stephen Curry.
