Thunder hold off Mavericks 121-117

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Kevin Durant slid into his seat on their bench and slipped on his warmups, content to watch his teammates finish off the Mavericks.

They couldn't without him.

Up by 22 points in the fourth quarter, the Thunder blew most of their big lead against Dallas' reserves and Durant had to go back in and restore order as Oklahoma held on for a 121-117 win to take a 2-0 lead in their Western Conference playoff series.

For three quarters, the Thunder were at their basketball best. The fourth wasn't so pleasing, but Durant isn't going to complain.

Durant, showing no regard for a defensive plan Dallas scored 30 points while Russell Westbrook added 20 points as the Thunder withstood a stirring comeback by the Mavericks, who used a 19-4 run to close within three on Jason Kidd's jumper with 1:53 left.

Westbrook also dished 11 assists, while rookie Cole Aldrich had the best game of his season, by scoring a career-high 16 points on a perfect 8-of-8 shooting in just 12 minutes of playing time for the top-seeded Thunder, who led 96-74 in the first minute of the fourth and were embarrassing the Mavericks. But Dallas dug down and gave Oklahoma and its raucous crowd a scare the Thunder may never forget.

Serge Ibaka again gave Dirk Nowitzki a hard time by defending him. Ibaka scored 12 points, blocked four shots, made three steals and unforgettable, poster dunk for Nowitzki and other Mavs, in the third quarter, Ibaka once again decided to make another poster this time to Richard Hamilton. (check the video below) Jeff Green nearly got a double-double, scoring nine points and grabbing 11 rebounds.

Kidd was the high man for the Mavericks, he had a vintage 30 point performance including 12 assists. He shot a disappointing 11-of-26 though to get to that mark. Kidd led the Mavs to spark the run who almost beat the Thunder, but he's the only the one who was determined. Caron Butler had 23 points, Rodrigue Beaubois scored 15 off the bench in nine minutes, while Dirk Nowitzki remained to be a non-factor for his slumping team, scoring only 12 points in an woeful 5-of-15 shooting night.

After Kidd's 17-foot jumper to made the score 115-112, Durant and Westbrook each made two free throws apiece to put Thunder ahead 119-112. In the next possession, Nowitzki received the inbound pass from Butler and without hesitance, he passed the ball to a open Kidd, he then drove to the lane and finished a open lay-up. Thunder panicked and committed a turnover, Kidd was fouled from the three, and made all of them. But the Mavs are fully exhausted that time as they let Durant ran from the both sides of the court and rocked it through the rim to put the nail on the coffin.

Mavericks somehow won the rebounding battle, 50-37. The series now will shift to Dallas next two games and Mavericks will try to even the series against the fierce Thunder.
