WASHINGTON -- Forward Kevin Durant didn't play the second half after suffering a hamstring injury, but guard Russell Westbrook picked up the slack with a triple-double as the Oklahoma City Thunder trounced the Washington Wizards 125-101 on Tuesday night.

Westbrook finished with 22 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists for the Thunder (5-3), who led 68-50 at halftime and by as many as 29 points in the second half. Guard Dion Waiters scored 25 points and forward Serge Ibaka had 23 points. Oklahoma City sank 15 of 23 3-pointers during its second straight win.

Durant, a fan favorite from the nearby Maryland suburbs, grabbed at his left leg late in the second quarter. He did not return for the second half as the team announced he suffered a hamstring strain. The 2014 NBA Most Valuable Player still managed a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds while helping the Thunder take control early.

Center Marcin Gortat and guard Ramon Sessions scored 15 points, and forward Otto Porter had 14 for the Wizards (3-4). Washington avoided its recent rash of turnovers, yet lost its third straight game while allowing its most points this season. Guard John Wall scored a season-low nine points.

The Wizards played without guard and leading scorer Bradley Beal, who injured his left shoulder in Saturday's road loss at the Atlanta Hawks, and forward Nene (back spasms). They were also outrebounded 53-41 and shot 39.2 percent from the field.

Oklahoma City opened the third quarter with a 9-2 run and cruised from there before the sellout crowd. Waiters' 3-pointer gave Oklahoma City its largest lead at 104-75.

The focus for many centered on the local kid -- and the hope Durant might return for good when he becomes a free agent next summer.

The public fawning over Durant is nothing new. What's new in the discussion about the "KD2DC" movement is what Durant said about the attention. Earlier in the week, Durant told reporters in Oklahoma City he viewed the overt cheering for him in Washington over the Wizards, a playoff team, "disrespectful."

Some fans clearly got the hint as the cheering was subdued for Durant during pregame introductions with spats of booing. Mild applause broke out when the All-Star forward sank back-to-back 3-pointers in the opening period. The Thunder led 37-23 after the first quarter.

The Wizards committed only eight turnovers after a combined 49 in the prior two games.
