It was a playoff-like atmosphere on Thursday night at the Moda Center, as the Oklahoma City Thunder (40-25) took a 129-121 overtime victory over the Portland Trail Blazers (39-26). In a contentious game that featured 23 lead changes and 16 ties, Russell Westbrook dropped 37 points (14/28 FG, 5/8 3P) — including eight points in overtime — to lead the Thunder to victory. Paul George added 32 points, 14 rebounds, six assists, and three steals, helping OKC survive a season-high 51 points from Damian Lillard.
The win completes the season sweep for the Thunder, and moves OKC into sole possession of third place in the Western Conference.
