(Sports Network) - Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder will close out a three-game road trip Sunday against the Sacramento Kings at ARCO Arena.
Durant led the Thunder to a 104-87 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday, pumping in 32 points and nine rebounds. Durant, the NBA's second leading scorer with 29.7 ppg, has scored 30 or more points an NBA-high 35 times this season and is one game shy of breaking Spencer Haywood's franchise record set during the 1972-73 campaign. Oklahoma City is the sixth seed out West and 24-11 when Durant hits the 30-point mark.
Rookie James Harden tallied 17 points, while Russell Westbrook finished with 15 points, nine assists, seven steals and six rebounds against the Clippers. Jeff Green ended with 14 points and Nenad Krstic added 13 with 11 boards for the Thunder, who bounced back from a 119-90 Wednesday loss at Denver to win for the fourth time in five contests.
"Our defense has gotten us this far and it helped us tonight," Harden said. "We were able to get some steals that led to some easy baskets."
The Thunder are 18-13 away from the Ford Center this season.
Sacramento has dropped two of three and seven of its last 10 games. It is coming off Friday's 108-100 loss at Dallas in which Carl Landry contributed 21 points and Andres Nocioni added 15 in his return from a two-game suspension.
Beno Udrih and Rookie of the Year candidate Tyreke Evans scored 20 points apiece for the Kings, who went 1-2 on a three-game road trip.
"We're a young team and don't have a lot of experience. So we're just trying to learn and get better," said Udrih.
The Kings will put their two-game home winning streak on the line this evening and are 15-14 in California's capital. Evans is averaging 21.7 ppg in last six contests, while Landry has scored in double figures in each of the last eight games.
Oklahoma City has won two of three meetings with Sacramento this season and four of five matchups overall. The Kings, however, are 10-4 in the previous 14 encounters as the host in this series.
Durant is averaging 33.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 steals in three games against the Kings this season.
