Westbrook lifts Thunder by LeBron-less Cavs

Oklahoma City took advantage of the short-handed Cavaliers with a 103-94 victory.

LeBron James sat out with left knee soreness, and without him, Cleveland's winning streak ended at eight games.

Oklahoma City's now-healthy dynamic duo took control as Russell Westbrook scored 26 points on 12-for-24 shooting with eight assists and seven rebounds, and Kevin Durant scored 19 points.

Kyrie Irving scored 20 points for Cleveland, but he made just 7 of 21 shots while struggling to finish against the ultra-athletic Westbrook.
