Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka and Russell Westbrook completely took over for the Oklahoma City Thunder last night against the Dallas Mavericks. KD had 40pts, Serge had 17 boards and Westbrook added 10 assists, according to Elias.com no teammate had more than half as many points, rebounds or assists respectively. That has only happened once before (knicks vs bobcats in Dec, 2004) Jamal Crawford had 41pts, Nazr Muhammed 17rebs, and Stephon Marbury w/ 11 assists but in a losing effort. The Dallas Mavericks had a double digit point lead in the 4th with under 8 minutes to go and KD hit a 3 pointer to cut it to 7 and led OKC back to take the lead but Darron Collison hit a off balanced 3 pointer as time expired to send the game into overtime. The overtime loss extends to Mavericks overtime losing streak to 8 gms, they loss their last 3 OT gms at the end of last season and are 0-5 this season. Even though Kevin Durant had 40 he was shut out in the OT period and went 0-3 so Russell Westbrook stepped up and took over in the last 5 minutes scoring 8pts on 3-4 shooting, he finished w/ 16pts 10 assist. Serge Ibaka played major w/ 19pts and 17rebs with 8 of those rebounds being the offensive type, and added 5 of the Thunders 13blks. Also with a great contribution from Kevin Martin (18pts, 7rebs) the thunder stands strong at 22-6.
