OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 31 (UPI) -- Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook combined for 48 points Thursday in pushing Oklahoma City to an easy 106-89 conquest of shorthanded Memphis.

Durant scored 27 points and Westbrook had nine rebounds and six assists to go with his 21 points. Kevin Martin added 16.
The Thunder won their 20th home game in 23 tries.
Jerryd Bayless produced 23 points to lead the Grizzlies, who have lost six of their last 11.
