The Sixers pulled within 57-47 at the break but Durant opened the scoring in the second half as well, igniting a 13-3 run out of the locker room.

Durant had a layup with 2:40 remaining and then Lamb made consecutive 3s to quickly push the margin to 101-86, allowing the Thunder to cruise to the finish line.
