NEW ORLEANS -- Russell Westbrook intercepted Ryan Anderson's inbounds pass, immediately pulled up for a 3-pointer that he nailed, blew on the tips of his pistol-shaped hands, then emphatically jammed both hands into the imaginary holsters on his hips.

 

Westbrook's gun-slinging mentality is in full swing, serving as a perfect complement to Kevin Durant's habitually prolific performances and making the Oklahoma City Thunder a blowout machine.

 

Durant scored 20 points, Westbrook added 18 points, 10 assists and three steals, and the Thunder won their fifth straight game, 100-79 over the struggling New Orleans Hornets on Saturday night.

 

"Russell was really good on the ball," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "I thought he had one of his better games; he's had a bunch of them lately on both ends of the floor. And Russell has the ability to do that. There's not a lot of guys in this league that can impact a game defensively and offensively like he has."

 

The Thunder stars did all of their work in first three quarters, resting for the final period after helping their club build a 27-point lead. After they left, the lead got as large as 29 as Oklahoma City cruised to a fourth-straight, double-digit victory - a span in which they've throttled opponents by an average margin of 25 points.
