Thunder 105, Pacers 92: Russell Westbrook recorded his third triple-double of the season with 20 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists as Oklahoma City took over late and pushed past visiting Indiana.

Serge Ibaka added 23 points on 9-of-11 shooting and 10 rebounds while Enes Kanter scored 15 points for the Thunder, who pushed their winning streak to seven games despite again missing Kevin Durant (foot). Dion Waiters and Anthony Morrow combined to go 6-of-12 from 3-point range and totaled 26 points to lead the Oklahoma City reserves.

Miles buried a 3-pointer to pull the Pacers within 65-64 with 4:31 left in the third quarter but Westbrook connected from long range and Waiters added a pair from beyond the arc as the Thunder closed the third quarter with a 15-5 surge. D.J. Augustin, Morrow and Waiters knocked down 3-pointers on consecutive possessions beginning the fourth to spread it out to 89-69 and Oklahoma City cruised through the final period.

Ibaka’s 3-pointer gave the Thunder a 28-15 lead with under two minutes left in the first quarter and the advantage was 15 points midway through the second before Indiana cut it down to 48-42 at the break. The Pacers drew within a point twice in the third quarter but never managed to grab the lead.
