PG Damian Lillard matched his season high with 36 points and dished out a season-high 13 assists on Sunday against Oklahoma City. "I go into every game with the same attitude, but when you're playing against the MVP (Russell Westbrook), you want to embrace that challenge," said Lillard, who was 10 of 18 from the field and 15 of 15 from the foul line. "You know if you don't, you're going to take your lumps. If I don't step up to that, how is my team going to beat his team?" Lillard has scored 30 or more in each of his past four games. Lillard (9,151) passed Rasheed Wallace for ninth place on the franchise career scoring list.

PF Julius Randle surpassed 2,000 career points when he scored his sixth on Sunday.

G Jeff Teague's shooting was on display Sunday. He was 7 of 15 overall and 4 of 5 from 3-point territory. He came down on successive series and stopped for quick 3-pointers as Minnesota opened a big lead in the second quarter and settled in from there. "Jeff is very unselfish," Minnesota coach Tom Thibodeau said. "He wants guys to get shots and he tries to make the right play. If he needs to score, I thought he had a good blend when the game was hanging in the balance in the second quarter. He hit three 3s that sort of opened it up. I think when he does that, it puts more pressure on the defense to come up, and then that opens up other things."

G Kemba Walker was held to a season-low nine points Sunday, though he added nine assists.

Harden finished 19 of 25 from the floor, including 7 of 8 from behind the arc, while making 11 of 12 free throws. fter converting a layup for his 56th point early in the fourth quarter, Harden remained on the court with Houston leading 117-85. He missed his final three attempts and his shot at eclipsing Murphy in franchise annals.
