Thunder roll over Warriors

-

OAKLAND — Kevin Durant scored 26 points, including a key 17-foot jumper with 30.7 seconds left, and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Golden State Warriors 108-102 on their home floor in Game 1 of the Western Conference final Monday night.

Russell Westbrook scored 24 of his 27 points in the second half for Oklahoma City, which trailed 60-47 at halftime. Westbrook also had 12 assists and seven steals.

Steven Adams made a pair of free throws for the Thunder with 1:01 remaining, and Klay Thompson missed a reverse lay-in moments later for Golden State.

Stephen Curry had 26 points and a playoff career-high 10 rebounds, but the Warriors missed too many shots down the stretch and lost their first game at Oracle Arena this post-season.
