Thunder smashes Clippers 131-108

Oklahoma City (AP) — Kevin Durant scored 29 points to lead the Thunder to a 131-108 win Sunday over the Los Angeles Clippers, who were without All-Star Blake Griffin.

The Clippers announced before the game that Griffin will be out indefinitely because of a staph infection in his right elbow. Without him, the Clippers fell to their most lopsided loss of the season.

Russell Westbrook had 19 points, 11 rebounds and five assists, and rookie Mitch McGary had 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Thunder, who shot 52 percent and moved back above the .500 mark. Other Thunder players in double digits were Serge Ibaka with 13, Dion Waiters with 16, and Reggie Jackson with 15.

Jamal Crawford scored 21 points and Chris Paul had 18 points and 13 assists for the Clippers.
