CLEVELAND -- As the score tightened, Kevin Durant stayed loose. Carson Wentz Eagles Jersey . Sitting in his warm-ups on Oklahoma Citys bench, Durant knew he might be called upon again. And when he was, the NBAs leading scorer closed out Cleveland. "My minds always on the game so I didnt space out," he said. "I was instantly ready." Durant scored 35 points, finding his shooting touch after a rough start, and made five free throws in the final minute to shut down a furious, fourth-quarter comeback and give the Thunder their 50th win, 102-95 over the injury-riddled Cavaliers on Thursday night. Durant missed five of his first six shots, but finally got it going. He has scored 25 or more in 33 straight games -- the leagues longest streak since Michael Jordan did it 40 consecutive times (1986-87). With the win, the Thunder, who let a 24-point lead dwindle to five in the fourth, moved within 1 1/2 games of San Antonio for the best record in the Western Conference. Oklahoma City played without point guard Russell Westbrook, who rested his surgically repaired knee. Dion Waiters scored 30 and Spencer Hawes 20 for the Cavs, who trailed 95-71 with 6:34 left before going on a 21-2 run to pull within 97-92. Durant, though, who had re-entered with 3:34 to go, made his free throws to end Clevelands rally. When he took a seat after three quarters, Durant figured his night was done. "But that can happen in this league," Durant said. "Guys have pride and Cleveland plays extremely hard, so those guys made it a game late and we had to close it out." Cleveland played without injured star guard Kyrie Irving (strained biceps) and forward Luol Deng (sprained ankle). Durants performance came two nights after LeBron James dropped 43 points on Cleveland, which lost its season-high fourth straight at home and has seen its playoff chances disappear. Durant added 11 rebounds and six assists, his biggest to Serge Ibaka for a dunk with 1:54 left after the Cavs had closed within eight. With the Thunder ahead by 17 entering the fourth, Durant grabbed a seat after scoring 30 in 32 minutes. Oklahoma Citys reserves were having their way with the Cavs, but Cleveland quickly reeled off 11 in a row, forcing Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks to bring Durant back. Waiters steal and layup got Cleveland within five, but the Thunder made sure the ball went to Durant, who then put it away at the line. But not before the Thunder had their nerves frayed. "You hate to talk about the last few minutes," Brooks said. "So Im not going to." Reggie Jackson started for Westbrook and added 13 points. Derek Fisher had 12 and Jeremy Lamb 10. Durant had a very un-Durant-like start. He started 1-of-6 from the field and grew more and more agitated with every missed shot. Late in the first quarter, Durant, who had complained to the officials about not getting a call on a drive, grabbed an offensive rebound, dunked in frustration and got called for a technical. "I just dont care if I miss," Durant said. "I had it in my mind that I was going to start the game off 1 for 10. Thats how quickly it can change, man. I thought I might be in for a tough shooting night, but I always stay aggressive." With Deng, Clevelands top wing defender, out and down to just nine dressed players, Cavs coach Mike Brown knew his team would struggle to handle the multifaceted Durant. And when Alonzo Gee picked up his second personal foul less than two minutes into the game, Brown brought in pesky guard Matthew Dellavedova to guard the leagues leading scorer. Dellavedova, generously listed at 6-foot-4, did all he could to pester Durant and it worked -- for a while. "He didnt get under my skin," Durant said. "He plays hard, you can respect a player like that but I didnt pay him any attention" Brown was proud of the job Dellavedova did on Durant. "One thing Dellys going to do for sure is fight," Brown said. "Hes going to get up in your chest and hes going to bother you, hes going to show his hands so hes not going to foul you. He makes you work for points." NOTES: Brooks has been impressed with Caron Butler, who has played in eight games since signing with Oklahoma City on March 1. Scott said Butler is tough, experienced and fearless. "He can make shots and hes not afraid to take shots," Brooks said. "We like that." ... OKC centre Kendrick Perkins (left groin strain) missed his 12th consecutive game and G Thabo Sefolosha (left calf strain) sat out his ninth straight. ... Brown boycotted filling out an NCAA bracket because Butler, where his son Elijah plays, didnt make the field. "Its my own protest," Brown joked. "Im loyal." ... Dellavedova had 11 points and 10 assists. DeSean Jackson Youth Jersey .

On one side, this is a ridiculous issue.Fort Worth, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Undefeated TCU welcomes the 17th-ranked West Virginia Mountaineers to Wilkerson-Greines Athletic Center on Saturday to kick off the Big 12 Conference schedule for both programs. One of only a handful of programs still with an unblemished record heading into the new calendar year, the Horned Frogs have spent the majority of the campaign to this point playing at home. The team has won some very lopsided decisions of late, albeit against considerably weaker competition in order to boost their stats at both ends of the floor. On Monday, the Frogs entertained Tennessee State at the University Rec Center and demolished the Tigers in a 60-40 final. Meanwhile, the Mountaineers have been close to perfect, losing just a single game to LSU by a single point, 74-73, during the Big 12/SEC Challenge early last month. Since that setback, WVU has responded with five more wins, the latest being an 82-51 blowout of Virginia Tech at home on Tuesday. West Virginia is a perfect 4-0 in the all-time series with the Horned Frogs, with the most recent meeting taking place last March and the Mountaineers delivering a lopsided 81-59 decision. Despite shooting only 38.7 percent from the field in the first half, compared to 55.0 percent for the Hokies, WVU took a 33-30 lead into intermission and then blew the doors off the visitors. The Mountaineers made good on 64.3 percent from the floor and 7-of-11 behind the 3-point line in the second half, all while limiting Tech to just nine total field goals in the frame. Juwan Staten produced 18 points on 6-of-12 shooting from the field, followed by Gary Browne with 12 points, while Devin Williams came up a point shy of a double-double as he accounnted for 11 rebounds. Reggie White Jersey. Defensively, the hosts forced VaTech into a staggering 25 turnovers. Just five wins away from matching their total from all of last season, the Mountaineers having been getting the job done at both ends of the floor. The squad is generating 78.9 ppg, thanks to the efforts of Staten (16.1 ppg), Jonathan Holton (11.0 ppg) and Devin Williams (10.1 ppg), the former also handing out 55 assists and the latter two performers combining to clear more than 14 rebounds per contest. Defensively, WVU has limited opponents to only 60.3 ppg while forcing them into a staggering 23 turnovers per outing. TCU was all over Tennessee State earlier this week, holding the visitors to only six field goals in the first half and a total of 14 overall, matching the number of turnovers suffered by the Tigers. Kyan Anderson scored 16 points for the Frogs, but he arrived there by shooting only 4-of-14 from the floor and 2- of-11 behind the 3-point line. Trey Zeigler chipped in 10 points and Chris Washburn eight and 12 rebounds, the latter being second only to Kenrich Williams who pulled down 13 boards off the bench. Anderson, the leading scorer in the last two games for the Horned Frogs and seven times overall in 2014-15, is the lone double-digit scorer on the unit with his 13.4 ppg. He has missed just four of his 49 attempts at the free- throw line and is also tops on the unit with 55 assists and 19 steals, doing everything he possibly can to ensure success for the program. Like West Virginia, defense has been key for the Frogs as they limit opponents to a meager 33.9 percent shooting from the floor, one of the best marks in all of college basketball, leading to just 53.2 ppg.
