RUSSELL WESTBROOK scored 30 points, including a vicious left-handed hammer dunk over Clint Capela in the closing seconds, to help the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Houston Rockets 105-103 Wednesday night.

    Oklahoma City led by three when Westbrook dunked over the 6-foot-10 Capela with 5.5 seconds left to put the Thunder up five.

    Westbrook, the league’s No. 2 scorer, also had nine assists and seven rebounds. Victor Oladipo had season highs of 29 points and 10 rebounds for the Thunder, who snapped a four-game losing streak.

    James Harden, the league’s assist leader and No. 4 scorer, had 13 points, 13 assists and seven rebounds. He made just 4 of 16 shots while being harassed by Andre Roberson. Capela added 13 points and 14 rebounds for the Rockets.

    Oklahoma City led 65-63 at halftime as Westbrook had 20 points and Oladipo 17. They shot 61 percent before the break. The Rockets’ offense worked, despite just five points from Harden on 1-for-6 shooting.

    The Rockets started strong after the break, and a 14-5 binge put Houston up 77-70 and led to an Oklahoma City timeout. The Rockets stretched their lead to 13, but the Thunder pulled to 90-85 by the end of the period.

    Oladipo’s 3-pointer with just under three minutes to play tied the score at 100, then Roberson’s alley-oop dunk on a lob from Westbrook finally put the Thunder ahead.

    Westbrook made a free throw to extend Oklahoma City’s lead to three with 28 seconds remaining. Houston missed an opportunity when Harden and Trevor Ariza failed to connect while Ariza was open in the corner, and Westbrook’s dunk over Capela put the game out of reach.

    It was the second straight home game the Thunder faced a core member of its team that reached the 2012 NBA Finals. The Thunder shot 75 percent in the first quarter to lead 38-32.

    In another game, the Warriors beat the Raptors 127-121.

    Draymond Green offered yet another example of his far-reaching importance. His 11-point, seven-rebound, five-assist, three-block, two-steal performance, while not as flashy as the offensive outbursts from Stephen Curry (33 points) and Kevin Durant (27), was paramount as Golden State pushed its winning streak to five games.

    With his team down four points midway through the second quarter, Green returned from a tweaked right ankle. He had two blocks, a strip and two assists to key a 23-4 run that gave the Warriors a 15-point lead shortly before intermission.

    Though Toronto inched within five points in the third quarter, Golden State’s lead never seemed seriously threatened in the second half. It shot 50.6 percent from the field and 21-of-22 from the foul line. It tallied assists on 33 of its 44 field goals. With Drake sitting courtside on “Drake Night,” it hardly mattered that DeMar Derozan and Kyle Lowry combined for 58 points.(SD-Agencies)
