Serge Ibaka scored a career-high 31 points against his former team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, in Chesapeake Energy Arena to win 119-117. His final bucket came from the sideline to win the game after Steven Adams fell for a shot-fake and Ibaka was able to get a clean jumper off.

Ibaka’s 31 points included a pair of makes from distance and he shot 13-of-19 from the field. He also finished with nine rebounds and four blocked shots.

This game looked to be the Orlando Magic’s from the beginning, as they held a cold-shooting Thunder team to just 13 points in the first quarter, and led by 14. But as always, a comeback was led by Russell Westbrook, who finished with yet another triple-double. He scored eight points in the final three minutes of the game. But his 41 points total on 14-of-21 shooting, 16 assists and 12 rebounds weren’t enough to hold off the Magic, and his former teammate walked away victorious.
