On the other side of the ball, Kevin Durant was rarely bothered by the defense of LeBron James, scoring 18 points on 8-10 shooting while getting six assists and two rebounds.
In front of a rowdy Oklahoma City home crowd, the Thunder raced up and down the court, something that rarely happens to Miami.
