The Oklahoma City Thunder ( 13 - 8 ) ran circles around the Memphis Grizzlies ( 12 - 10 ) on Tuesday , winning 125 - 88 . After getting off to a 59 - 47 lead in the first half , the Thunder ran away with the game in the third quarter , dominating the Grizzlies 39 - 16 . Per usual , the dynamic duo of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook led the way for OKC . Despite not playing in the fourth quarter of the blowout , both superstars posted big numbers . Durant shot the lights out , hitting 11 of 14 from the floor en route to a game - high 32 points . The scoring outburst was accompanied by 10 rebounds , six assists , and a trio of steals . Westbrook , meanwhile , took on the role of facilitator for the Thunder offense , making way for Durant 's hot hand . The All-Star point guard tallied 16 assists while also recording 13 points on efficient 5 - for - 7 shooting . The Grizzlies , however , saw disappointing play across the board . Star big men Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph simply could n't get the job done on the offensive end , combining for just 20 points . It seemed that no one on Memphis could get their shots to fall , as the Grizzlies shot just 41 percent from the field and knocked down only three three - pointers . The team also looked helpless on the defensive end , as they could do nothing to stop their opponents from knocking down their shots . OKC shot a whopping 56 percent from the field including 50 percent from beyond the arc . Memphis sits towards the middle of the pack of Western Conference playoff contenders . They will hope to push themselves up in the rankings in the second half of their back - to - back , as they travel to Detroit on Wednesday to take on the Pistons . Things look brighter for the third - seed Thunder , as they have two superstars both playing at a high level . Their next contest will come at home on Thursday against Atlanta .
