Thunder crushes Lakers in Game 1

Russell Westbrook had 27 points and nine assists, Kevin Durant 25 points and host Oklahoma City blasted the weary Lakers, 119-90, Monday night in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals.

The Thunder took a 15-point halftime lead, then opened the third quarter with a 15-2 blitz filled with crowd-pleasing three-pointers and dunks. The Thunder led by as many as 35 points.

Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum scored 20 points each for the Lakers and Bynum had 14 rebounds.

Sixers 82, Celtics 81: Jrue Holiday scored 18 points and Andre Iguodala had 13 as visiting Philadelphia evened the series at 1. Kevin Garnett (15 points, 12 rebounds) and Ray Allen (17 points) hit threes in the final seconds but Philly hit its free throws.

Bosh out indefinitely

The Heat's Chris Bosh is out for Game 2 tonight and possibly the entire series against the Pacers after he strained a lower abdominal muscle in Game 1.
