Thunder 112, Knicks 100: Kevin Durant scored 41 points to outduel Carmelo Anthony in a matchup of the NBA's top two scorers and lift host Oklahoma City to its ninth straight home win.

Durant was 12-of-22 from the field, made four 3-pointers and finished an assist shy of his third triple-double this season. Reggie Jackson finished with 19 points and six assists and Serge Ibaka had 16 and nine boards for the Thunder, who shot 54.8 percent.

Anthony, who missed the previous meeting between the teams due to a sprained ankle, scored a season-low 15 points on 5-of-19 shooting. Raymond Felton and Amar'e Stoudemire had 16 points apiece to lead New York, which has lost four in a row on the road.

Anthony was 3-for-9 from the floor and had just seven points at the break, but 10 points by Felton and three 3-pointers by Iman Shumpert kept the Knicks within five points. Shumpert's fourth triple trimmed New York's deficit to 61-60 early in the third before Thabo Sefolosha responded with two straight of his own and Kendrick Perkins had back-to-back baskets to produce a 10-0 Thunder burst.

The Knicks scored the final four points of the quarter to get within eight and Pablo Prigioni's layup cut the margin to 90-84 with nine minutes left. Durant then had the first five points in a decisive 15-6 surge capped by Ibaka's jumper that made it a 15-point game with under three minutes to go.

GAME NOTEBOOK:
Ibaka, who was whistled for a technical foul with 5:34 left in the game, is 53-for-77 from the floor over his last six games. ... Durant has reached the 40-point mark seven times. ... Sefolosha finished with 12 points and had four of the Thunder's six steals.
