With the NBA’s second-leading scorer getting the night off, the Brooklyn Nets still had no problem piling up the points in Oklahoma City.
The Nets built a 24-point lead in the second quarter, had nine players score in double figures, and shot 57.0 percent overall and 42.2 percent from 3-point range in their 147-125 win over the Thunder at Chesapeake Energy Arena, matching the franchise record for points scored in a regulation game.
It was Brooklyn’s fourth straight win and its eighth in the last 10 games.
James Harden posted a triple-double with 25 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds, shooting 9-for-14, while Kyrie Irving also had 25 points on 10-for-16 shooting.
Joe Harris had 20 points, making 5-of-9 field goals, and Bruce Brown had 19 points while shooting 9-for-11. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot scored 13, making 4-of-8 3-pointers.
Jeff Green and Landry Shamet scored 11 each and DeAndre Jordan had 10 points and eight rebounds. Reggie Perry also scored 10 points.
Kevin Durant did not play for Brooklyn, held out as part of injury recovery after he played 42 minutes in Wednesday’s overtime win over Atlanta.
With their highest-scoring first half of the season, the Nets led 76-58 at the break after shooting 57.7 percent overall and 47.6 from 3-point range, with Harden and Irving combining for 28 points.
Tied at 20, the Nets scored eight straight with three-point plays by Harden and Green sandwiching a Harden drive, and they led 36-27 after the first quarter. Oklahoma City went without a field goal for the final 4:43 of the first quarter, and the drought continued in the second quarter, with the Thunder going scoreless entirely until the 8:35 mark, for nearly eight minutes without making a shot.
Brooklyn took advantage with a 15-0 run to start the quarter, with Harden and Shamet combining for the first 13 points before Green’s transition layup put the Nets up 51-27. Green’s 3-pointer in the final minute of the half had the Nets still up by 21 points before the Thunder cut the Brooklyn advantage to 18 going into halftime.
Oklahoma City closed within 103-89 with 2:20 to go in the quarter, but Luwawu-Cabarrot knocked down a 3-pointer, Perry finished in transition and Shamet hit for a transition three that pushed the lead back to 111-89. The Nets outscored the Thunder 12-5 down the stretch in the quarter and took a 115-94 lead into the fourth.
With the Thunder back within 13 early in the fourth quarter, the Nets put together a 12-0 run capped by back-to-back threes from Luwawu-Cabarrot for a 129-106 lead.
