Thunder beat Kings behind Westbrook

Russell Westbrook had 28 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds to help the Oklahoma City Thunder roll past the Sacramento Kings 110-94 on Saturday.

The Thunder won their fifth straight — the longest current streak in the NBA — and moved into a tie for fifth place in the Western Conference, pending the result of the Los Angeles Clippers' game against Cleveland later Saturday.

Westbrook had a triple-double in each of the first four games of the streak to raise his season total to 34. He needs seven more in Oklahoma City's final 13 games to tie Oscar Robertson for the NBA single-season record, set during the 1961-62 season.

Georgios Papagiannis had 14 points and 11 rebounds for Sacramento, which had a two-game winning streak snapped.

In Los Angeles, Blake Griffin scored 23 points as Los Angeles capitalized on the Cavaliers' decision to rest their top three players with an easy victory over Cleveland, 108-78.

LeBron James, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving sat out for the Cavaliers and the Clippers snapped their threegame losing streak by feasting on the defending champions' supporting cast.

J.J. Redick added 16 points for the Clippers, who rested Griffin, Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan for the entire fourth quarter while their reserves turned a comfortable win into a blowout.

Griffin sat out Thursday's loss at Denver to rest and he poured in 13 points in the third quarter while Los Angeles pulled away.
