Final Score: Oklahoma City 106, Dallas 100
Kevin Durant didn’t need to carry Oklahoma City in Game 2, as the league’s leading scorer got plenty of help from the Thunder bench to beat the Dallas Mavericks, 106-100, and even the Western Conference finals. Durant ended with 24 points and was backed by James Harden’s 23, Eric Maynor’s 13 and Nick Collison’s defense on Dirk Nowitzki to send the series back to Oklahoma City tied, 1-1. Nowitzki, fresh off an incredible 48-point effort in Game 1, posted 29 points on 10-of-17 shooting but missed a key free throw late in the game after making 39 in a row. The loss was Dallas’ first at American Airlines Center this postseason. Despite scoring 18 points in the first three quarters, Russell Westbrook did not play in the fourth as Thunder head coach Scott Brooks went with his reserves in crunch time.
