OKLAHOMA CITY -- The NBA-leading Oklahoma City Thunder got their first three-day break of the season, and the Utah Jazz were playing their third road game in as many nights.

 

The outcome was almost too predictable.

 

James Harden scored 22 points, Kevin Durant added 21 and the Thunder beat Utah 111-85 on Tuesday night for their second win against the Jazz in five days.

 

"Knowing we were on the third game of a back-to-back and they were rested, they wanted to create a tempo that was favorable to them and not allow us to get back in the game," Utah coach Tyrone Corbin said.

 

"They did a great job of just keeping the tempo up, attacking us at every moment they could and not allowing us to rest."

 

The well-rested Thunder (22-6) never trailed and led by at least 12 throughout the second half on their way to an seventh straight win at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, extending the team's longest home winning streak since moving from Seattle in 2008.

 

Russell Westbrook chipped in 16 points for Oklahoma City, and Serge Ibaka also scored 16 to go with 10 rebounds and six blocks.
