OKLAHOMA CITY — NBA results and standings after the games that were played on Saturday, February 11. There were wins on the day for the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Without a doubt, the game of the weekend came from Oklahoma City where former teammates Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook faced off at Chesapeake Energy Arena for the first time since Durant left to join the Warriors in the offseason.
Westbrook was outstanding again on the night, collecting 47 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, but his performance was not enough to prevent the Thunder (31-24) from losing 130-114 to Golden State.
Durant blocked out being jeered by the home fans through the contest to finish with 34 points and nine rebounds in his return to the City.
The star forward was even involved in a heated on-court verbal discussion with Westbrook and butt-heads with Andre Roberson in an action-packed contest.
In the end, though, Golden State, which scored a season-high 43 points in the second quarter and at one point led by 28 points, was too much for the home side, which collected 20 points from Victor Oladipo and 13 from Steven Adams in the defeat.
Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry each scored 26 points for the Warriors (46-8), who won three straight.
CAVALIERS REBOUNDS AGAINST NUGGETS
Meanwhile, the Cavaliers bounced back from the defeat to Oklahoma City with a 125-109 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night.
LeBron James and Kyrie Irving each scored 27 points for Cleveland, with James also dishing out 12 assists.
Kevin Love finished with 16 points and nine rebounds and Tristan Thompson added 13 points and 13 boards for the Cavaliers (37-16), who improved to 23-5 at home this season.
