For the 41st game in a row, Kevin Durant scored at least 25 points as Phoenix beat the Thunder 122-115, giving the Suns a critical victory in their drive to make the playoffs and dealing a blow to Oklahoma City’s hold on the No. 2 spot in the West.
Goran Dragic scored 26 points, Gerald Green 24 and Eric Bledsoe 18 for the Suns, who shot a season-best 58.4 percent.
Durant’s streak surpassed Jordan’s 40 in a row of 25 or more and is the longest since Oscar Robertson did it for 46 straight games in 1963-64. Wilt Chamberlain did it in all 80 regular-season games in the 1961-62 season.
Russell Westbrook scored 33 for the Thunder, who lead the Los Angeles Clippers by a game for the West’s No. 2 playoff spot.
