LOS ANGELES -- Kevin Durant scored 36 points, Russell
Westbrook added 23 and the Oklahoma City Thunder
outplayed the Los Angeles Clippers in the fourth quarter
for a 118-112 victory Friday night and a 2-1 lead in
their Western Conference semifinal. Serge Ibaka added 20
points and Westbrook had 13 assists for the Thunder in a
game that neither team ever led by double digits. Blake
Griffin scored 34 points, and Chris Paul added 21 points
and 16 assists for the Clippers, who saw their four-point
lead disappear for good early in the fourth quarter.
Sixth Man of the Year Jamal Crawford added 20 points.
Oklahoma City led 113-107 on Durants turnaround jumper
with 1:23 left. It followed Westbrooks 3-pointer after
the Clippers had closed within 108-107 when Griffin
muscled in for a layup. Game 4 is Sunday at Staples
Center. The Thunder shot 56 per cent, and controlled the
paint and fastbreak points against a Clippers team that
never got into their favoured run-and-gun mode. J.J.
Redick, who got off to a hot start in Game 2, was held to
five points on 1-of-6 shooting. DeAndre Jordan was never
a factor for the Clippers either, with 10 points and 11
rebounds. Matt Barnes gave them a lift with 14 points.
The Thunder gradually pulled away in the fourth, scoring
eight straight points, including Durants three-point
play, to take the lead for good. Former Clipper Caron
Butler hit three 3-pointers to give his team the lead and
then extend it. Emotions boiled in the third, with double
technicals called on Barnes and Kendrick Perkins, who
stared hard at each other. Perkins took a step toward
Barnes but got pushed away by Westbrook. By then, Griffin
was already bloodied. He got hit in the face by Ibaka,
but the only call by the referees was 3 seconds on the
Clippers. Griffin held a towel to his gushing nose and
changed his jersey during a timeout. The Clippers rallied
at the end of the period, outscoring the Thunder 8-0 to
take a 90-86 lead. They did it on free throws except for
Griffins basket. Reggie Jackson was called for a foul and
a technical, and then Durant fouled Crawford on a 3-point
attempt with less than a second left. He made all three.
Neither team led by more than seven points in the first
half, when the lead changed hands 14 times and there were
seven ties. Ibaka had three fouls and Thabo Sefolosha two
for the Thunder. NOTES: Shelly Sterling, the estranged
wife of banned Clippers owner Donald Sterling, attended
the game. Her lawyer has said she wants to retain her
financial interest in the team. ... Paul tied Elton
Brands franchise record for most double-doubles in the
playoffs with his sixth. ... Paul and Durant earned
double technicals late in the first half after using
expletives. ... Clippers F Hedo Turkoglu, out with a
hairline fracture in his lower back, was able to pull on
his gym shorts Friday, but coach Doc Rivers said its not
looking good for him to return. ... Earlier Friday, the
NBA hired Dick Parsons as the Clippers interim CEO. He is
former chairman of Citigroup and Time Warner. Rivers said
Parsons "is a very good hire." ... Rivers handed Crawford
his Sixth Man of the Year trophy at centre court before
the game. ... Among the famous faces were Rihanna, former
Oklahoma football coach Barry Switzer, Billy Crystal,
producer Jeffrey Katzenberg and Boston Marathon winner
Meb Keflezighi, who pulled out his medal as the crowd
cheered. PJ-Hall-Elite-Jersey/">P.J. Hall Raiders Jersey .
Jose Bautista homered for the fifth straight game in the
sixth inning, following a two-out solo homer by Melky
Cabrera. Edwin Encarnacion led off the seventh with a
homer to tie the game 3-3 and, with two out in the
seventh, Munenori Kawasaki came through with the two-out
single to score pinch-runner Steve Tolleson with what
proved to be the winning run.

It certainly isnt a coincidence that Dwight Howard has
scored at least 20 points in each game of the winning
streak. http://www.footballraidersmall.com/Youth-Doug-
Martin-Elite-Jersey/. Cammalleri scored two goals, Corban
Knight netted the winner in a shootout, and the Flames
erased a two-goal deficit in the third period to beat the
Stars 4-3 on Friday night.

On a hot, sweaty day, the Hall of Famer looked cool and
comfortable.
