Thunder can't diminish Durant's dazzle

Russell Westbrook vowed to pay back Zaza Pachulia for a hard foul, but Kevin Durant had the last word against his old team - again.

Durant dazzled with a season-high 40 points as the Golden State Warriors beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 121-100 on Wednesday night despite Westbrook's 21st triple-double.

Westbrook had 27 points, 15 rebounds and 13 assists in an improved showing from his 20-point outing on 4-for-15 shooting when OKC first faced Durant 11 weeks ago and watched him dismantle the Thunder from every which way.
