NBA: Russell Westbrook beats Kings with trey.

Russell Westbrook made a three-pointer as time expired, giving the Thunder a 110-107 victory over the Kings in Sacramento on Thursday night.

The Thunder squandered a 23-point lead and trailed 105102 with 4½ minutes remaining before closing the game on an 8-2 run.

Westbrook, who picked up his 18th triple-double of the season, made three free throws sandwiched around a bucket in the paint by Steven Adams to put Oklahoma City up 107-105.

Justin Jackson’s 6-foot jumper off an offensive rebound tied the game. After a timeout, the Thunder got the ball in front of Sacramento’s bench and Carmelo Anthony found Westbrook atop the three-point arc for the winner.

Westbrook lifted the Thunder from what would have been a devastating loss after a fast start in their first game since the All-Star break. They set a season high with 44 points in the first quarter and made 12 three-pointers, but still had to rally in the final minutes.

Anthony matched his season high of seven three-pointers and Paul George had three from beyond the arc, ending his five-game streak with five or more threes. It was the second-longest streak in NBA history behind George McCloud’s six-gamer in 1996.
