The Oklahoma City Thunder rode a 38-point, second quarter burst to a 110-87 victory against the Golden State Warriors at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City Friday night.

The Thunder entered the game plagued by the injuries of Thabo Sefalosha, who found out prior to the contest that he will be out at least another month and Kendrick Perkins who is day-to-day with a knee contusion. While the Thunder tried to find a good mix in their battered rotation, the Warriors jumped out to a 24-20 lead after the first 12 minutes.

James Harden, Nick Collison, Cole Aldrich, Reggie Jackson and Royal Ivey played huge minutes to key Oklahoma City’s second quarter outpour that saw the Thunder jump from a four-point deficit to a 10-point lead going into halftime. Harden played the entire quarter and scored 15 points to go along with Collison’s four points and three rebounds. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook combined for 14 points in the period as well.

Durant and Westbrook kept things going to open up the second half. Durant scored eight points with four rebounds to open the half and Westbrook poured in six as well. Durant finished the game four assists shy of a triple-double with 23 points and 10 rebounds. Westbrook finished with 18 points, but left the game in the third quarter with what is being ruled as a light ankle sprain. He is day-to-day.

The Warriors ran out of firepower in the second half and couldn’t keep up with the Thunder offense. Golden State’s starters managed to put up 13 in the third, but their bench only put in four for a total of 17. Oklahoma City scored 26 to extend their lead to 84-65 going into the final period.

Daequan Cook’s 17 seconds in the fourth was the most any of Oklahoma City’s starters played in the fourth quarter. Aldrich, Jackson and Ivey each played the final 12 minutes and combined for seven points and two rebounds. James Harden poured in seven points down the stretch and Lazar Hayward scored six to put the Thunder’s 23rd victory in the books.

“The bench was huge,” Kevin Durant said after the game. “With Perk being out tonight and Thabo being out, Reggie and Cole had to step up and that’s what they did. Injuries are part of the game, but guys step up. That’s why we are professionals.”

As a team the Thunder turned the ball over 19 times, but finished the game with 24 assists. Durant had six assists to lead the team and Jackson finished with four. Westbrook, who’s starting to find his groove offensively finished with three assists, three turnovers and three steals.

“We had a few too many turnovers and gave up too many offensive rebounds,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said in his post-game press conference. “Some of the turnovers were in situations where they were out of control and it was sloppy. It’s an area we have to clean up, but it helps when you have over 20 assists.”

Oklahoma City improved to 3-0 against the Warriors this season and will play their second of five straight home games Sunday night against the Denver Nuggets. It will be the first meeting between the two teams.
