Kevin Durant scored 27 points and the Oklahoma City Thunder built a double-digit lead early in the second quarter and cruised to a 114-93 win over the visiting New Jersey Nets.
When the teams met Dec. 1 in New Jersey, Oklahoma City needed three overtimes to pull out a 123-120 win. There was no such drama in the rematch as the Thunder (22-11) led by as many as 25 points midway through the fourth quarter.
Durant, who did not play in the first meeting, made 11-of-19 shots and played just 30 minutes, matching his lowest total of the season.
Russell Westbrook added 17 points for the Thunder, who shot 55 percent from the field.
Brook Lopez and Devin Harris each scored 19 points for New Jersey (9-23), which has lost 11 of its last 12 road games.
