Oklahoma City, OK (SportsNetwork.com) - Russell Westbrook
and Kevin Durant combined to score 45 points with 13
assists to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 103-94 win
over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday. In what would
have been a matchup of the last two NBA MVPs, Durant was
the only one to play as Clevelands LeBron James sat out
with left knee discomfort. Westbrook paced the Thunder
with 26 points to go along with eight assists and Durants
19 points helped close out their fourth straight win.
Russell, thats the thing, he is so good offensively, but
he is also a great defender, Thunder coach Scott Brooks
said. Kyrie Irving had to pick up the slack with James on
the bench and he accounted for 20 points on 7-of-21
shooting. Kevin Love netted 18 points with 16 rebounds
for the Cavs, who had their eight-game winning streak
halted. We have guys on this team with incredible motors,
said Love. We could have put together a better shooting
night, but the good thing is we got another one tomorrow.
Oklahoma City opened the fourth just where it left off
the third. Reggie Jackson scored the quarters first five
points and Anthony Morrow knocked down a triple to stake
the hosts to an 86-66 margin with 10:24 to play.
Cleveland didnt falter, however, as Anderson Varejaos
five points led a 7-0 charge that brought the visitors
back to within 10, 91-81, with 5:47 left. Tristan
Thompson then made it a four-point game on his tip-in off
an Irving miss. Irving got caught on a switch on the
Thunders ensuing possession and Durant finished the play
with a dunk over Love. Durant proceeded to pick Irvings
pocket the next time down the floor and essentially
sealed it with a jumper that extended the margin to 99-91
with 1:17 left. Loves 3-pointer tied the score at 57-57
with just under 6 1/2 minutes left in the third. Thats
about the time of the game that Oklahoma City locked down
on defense and opened the game up entering the fourth.
Westbrook followed Loves trey with a layup that ignited a
10-0 run. Serge Ibaka and Morrow each netted 3-pointers
during the run that Westbrook capped with a pair of free
throws. Cleveland managed just nine points over the final
six-plus minutes as Durants 3 preceded Dion Waiters layup
in the closing seconds, and the Thunder held a 78-66
advantage after three. Early in the first, the Thunder
took their first lead of the game on a Westbrook jumper.
Cleveland then went on a 13-2 run that Waiters capped
with a 3-pointer for an 18-8 lead with 5:01 left. The
Cavs led 26-18 after the first quarter, but Oklahoma City
managed to tie the game at 47-47 by halftime. Game Notes
OKC is 4-1 since Durants return from offseason foot
surgery ... Matthew Dellavedova, Waiters and Thompson
each scored 14 points in the setback. Thompson pulled
down 13 rebounds ... Cleveland was limited to 36.5
percent shooting ... The Thunder held a 48-28 edge in the
paint ... Jackson scored 13 points and Morrow added 11 in
the win.

Redskins Jersey . A rainy day saw the former
champion Djokovic handle 14th-seeded Frenchman Jo-
Wilfried Tsonga 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (7-5) under the roof on the
famed Centre Court. MILWAUKEE -- No confrontations. One
hit batter. Two stars on the bench. The Milwaukee Brewers
withstood the early exits of outfielders Carlos Gomez and
Ryan Braun by pounding out 12 hits against Gerrit Cole
and two Pittsburgh Pirates relievers in the teams first
meeting since a benches-clearing brawl last month.
Jonathan Lucroy hit a bases-loaded, two-run single and
Marco Estrada had eight strikeouts through six choppy
innings in the Brewers 5-2 win Tuesday night. "The other
guys are getting on base," manager Ron Roenicke said.
"When everybodys contributing it means were getting a lot
of people on base through the lineup." Gomez scored the
second run on Lucroys single in the third after getting
hit by a changeup from Cole (3-3). No heated exchange of
words on Tuesday, unlike April 20 when Cole and Gomez got
into it on a play at third in Pittsburgh. Gomez and both
managers had signalled they were over the ill will left
over from a brawl that led to suspensions. Gomez even
smiled at first after getting hit by the off-speed pitch
in the third, and he scored three batters later on
Lucroys bases-loaded single. Cole said he hasnt spoken
with Gomez since the brawl, but that they did exchange
nods before Gomezs first at-bat. "I think pretty much
everybodys on the same page about this. I think weve all
moved on," Cole said. Gomez left after the fifth with a
tight back that began bothering him Monday. Braun was
activated from the disabled list earlier Tuesday, and his
departure after the sixth was planned as he gets
acclimated in his return from a right oblique injury.
Earlier Tuesday, third baseman Aramis Ramirez was placed
on the disabled list with a pulled left hamstring. All
those players down and the Brewers still scratched out
five runs and the dozen hits throughout the lineup. Five
came from reserves, including two apiece from the guys
who replaced Braun and Gomez -- Khris Davis and the newly
called-up Elian Herrera. "Everybodys contributing ... Its
important to have that depth on the bench and have guys
step up and get it going," Lucroy said. Neil Walker hit a
solo homer that landed on the concourse beyond left-
centre in the first to extend his hitting streak to five
for Pittsburgh.dddddddddddd. It was one of six hits
allowed by Estrada, who looked like he was having trouble
much off the night locating his off-speed stuff. He
needed 112 pitches to get through his outing, though
Roenicke liked how Estrada missed low instead of instead
down the middle when getting into trouble. "Threw some
great pitches but just couldnt get it locked in where he
could just go through an easy inning," Roenicke said. "He
did a great job of making the pitches when he needed to
and finished up with a real nice ballgame. Jean Segura
added two hits, the second after a shot up the middle
deflected off the mound and squirted in between first and
second to allow Lucroy to score from second for a four-
run lead in the seventh. Francisco Rodriguez tossed a
hitless ninth for his 16th save, bouncing back from his
first blown save on Sunday. Pitching has played a crucial
role with Milwaukee racing out to a 25-14 mark and the NL
Central lead -- all while enduring injuries to key
hitters. Braun finished 0 for 2 with a walk, striking out
swinging in the fifth with runners on second and third.
Cole allowed seven hits, three walks and three runs in 5
2-3 innings. The right-hander with a fastball that
reached 100 mph struck out six. "He had to do some yard
work tonight in a couple of those innings with men on
base and he showed up well," Hurdle said about his
developing young hurler. Notes: The Brewers challenged an
out call on Lyle Overbays grounder that deflected off the
mound with one out and a runner on in the seventh. The
call stood after a review of roughly 3 1/2 minutes.
...... Gomez and Pirates OF Travis Snider, who exchanged
shoves during last months brawl, ran into each other at a
Milwaukee steakhouse during an off day Monday. "We shook
hands, he gave me a hug and everything is cool. ... No
hard feelings," Gomez said before the game. ...
Pittsburgh sends Francisco Liriano (0-3) to the mound
Wednesday against Milwaukees Wily Peralta (4-2).
