Orlando: Kevin Durant led the league-leading Thunder to a seventh consecutive victory as Oklahoma City used an explosive fourth-quarter charge to rally for a 105-102 road victory over the Orlando Magic on Thursday.
Durant scored 18 of his game-high 38 points in the final quarter at the Amway Centre to help the Thunder (29-7) overcome a 14-point deficit.
"I was so down on myself, I was going downhill fast after the first quarter but my coaches and my team mates continued to talk to me and encourage me," Durant told reporters. "They told me they believed in me. It just clicked for me."
The forward sank two free throws with four minutes remaining to give the Thunder their first lead since the opening quarter (90-89) and then added 10 more points to protect the advantage.
