NBA
Regular Season Round 60: Oklah.City T. - Denver N. 114-106
Date: December 25, 2010
With one quarter to go, the first 50-point game of Kevin Durant's career seemed within his grasp. That he chose not to force the issue meant he didn't reach that personal goal — but that decision did help the Oklahoma City Thunder win. Durant, the NBA's scoring leader, had a season-high 44 points, including 21 in the third quarter, and the Thunder beat the Denver Nuggets 114-106 on Saturday night in the first Christmas Day game in the Thunder's three-season tenure in Oklahoma City. Durant raised his average to 28.1 points and topped his previous season high of 34, blow past the latter by the five-minute mark of the third quarter en route to his first 40-point game of the season — after having eight of them last season. He finished 14 of 20 from the field, including 4 of 7 from 3-point range. Denver played for the second straight game without star Carmelo Anthony following his sister's death Wednesday. Chauncey Billups led the Nuggets — who shot 52.9 percent from the field — with 30 points, and Nene had 21 points and 12 rebounds. Billups, who missed three games earlier this month because of a partially torn ligament in his right wrist, left the locker room Saturday night with ice on the wrist. *Courtesy of www.sfgate.com
