MEMPHIS, May 10 (UPI) -- Kevin Durant scored six of his 35 points in the third overtime Monday and Oklahoma City tied its conference semifinal series with a 133-123 win over Memphis.
Serge Ibaka made a 7-foot jumper with 1:37 remaining to give the Thunder a 127-123 lead, and then blocked a Marc Gasol shot that Durant followed with a floating basket to ice the win and even the Western Conference semifinal series at 2-2.
Durant hauled down 13 rebounds and Russell Westbrook pumped in 40 points for the Thunder, who charged back from an 18-point deficit to force the extra frames.
James Harden added 19 points, hitting 10-of-10 free throws, and dished off seven assists in the marathon victory.
The Grizzles were led by Zach Randolph's 34 points and 16 rebounds while Marc Gasol added 26 and 21.
O.J. Mayo drained four 3-pointers en route to 18 points and Mike Conley added 16, including a game-tying trey at the end of regulation, for Memphis.
The Thunder will try to take their first lead in the series when it switches back to Oklahoma City for Wednesday's Game 5.
