Thunder finally wins fourth game of season

OKLAHOMA CITY — Scott Brooks figured his Oklahoma City Thunder team had been in enough close games in the fourth quarter to eventually win one. Its time came Wednesday night.

The Thunder pulled away in the third quarter and held on for a 107-100 victory over the Golden State Warriors. It was only the fourth win of the season for Oklahoma City, which ended a five-game losing streak.

“We’ve had a lot of fourth-quarter games. When you’re put in that situation constantly, you get better,” Brooks said. “You find a rhythm. You find a little bit of anger inside your soul and say you’re going to keep fighting, we’re going to break through. And we’ve done that.”

Jeff Green scored 18 of his 26 points in the second half. Oklahoma City turned 20 Golden State turnovers into 24 points, many coming off of steals. Kevin Durant posted his fifth double-double of the season with 25 points, 10 rebounds and six assists, and reserve Chris Wilcox had 23 points and nine boards.
