Durant dazzles in Thunder’s win

Kevin Durant extended his remarkable scoring record on Tuesday with his 28th consecutive 20-point game as the Oklahoma City Thunder rolled past the Denver Nuggets 110-104.

Durant, who finished with 30 points, 12 rebounds and four assists, has now scored 20 points or more in every game since returning from a hamstring injury in late November.

Russell Westbrook also played a starring role with 27 points as the Thunder improved to 31-12, the third best record in the Western Conference behind Golden State and San Antonio.

Westbrook also had 12 assists but fell just short of his third straight triple-double. He has already notched up five this season, 24 in his career.

Elsewhere, the Milwaukee Bucks maintained their recent run of good form against the Miami Heat with a 91-79 defeat of the Florida team.
