| Kevin Durant's late trey lifts Oklahoma City over Houston Rockets
HOUSTON, April 28 () -- Kevin Durant hit a late 3-pointer Saturday and Oklahoma City overcame a blown lead to edge Houston 104-101 and take a commanding first-round playoff lead. With the Thunder trailing 99-97, Durant's shot with 41.9 seconds left bounced off the back and front rims before falling through and Oklahoma City held on to post a 3-0 advantage in their best-of-seven Western Conference quarterfinal series against the Rockets.Durant finished with 41 points as Oklahoma City rebounded after letting a 66-49 halftime lead slip away,[url=http://www.parajumpersjackenoutlet.de/]parajumpers online shop[/url], while playing without all-star Russell Westbrook,[url=http://www.christianlouboutinonlineshop.de/]christian louboutin schuhe[/url], who is out for the post-season following knee surgery.The Rockets had a chance to respond in the closing seconds but James Harden threw the ball away and the Thunder's Derek Fisher followed with two foul shots.Harden (30 points, eight rebounds,[url=http://www.parajumpersjackenoutlet.de/]long bear parajumpers[/url], six assists) got a basket back with 8 seconds remaining,[url=http://www.christianlouboutinonlineshop.de/]christian louboutin online shop[/url], but Reggie Jackson then sank a pair of free throws for the final margin.Chandler Parsons supplied 21 points, seven rebounds and seven assists for the Rockets. |
