OKLAHOMA CITY (REUTERS) - Kevin Durant had 33 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists, including three free throws during the final 2.8 seconds, and the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Indiana Pacers 115-111 in the National Basketball Association on Saturday night in Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
The Pacers got 45 points from Paul George - his highest-scoring game in Bankers Life Fieldhouse - but the forward missed a potential game-tying three-pointer with seven seconds to play and the Thunder closed it out at the free throw line.
