Kevin Durant scored 26 points, top reserve James Harden added 23 and the Oklahoma City Thunder eased into their only stretch of three games on consecutive nights by beating the Houston Rockets 109-94 on Friday.
The Rockets fell to 0-5 on the road this season but get a rematch Saturday night on their home floor, where they've won their only two games this season.
The Thunder bounced back after following their 5-0 start with two straight losses and were able to rest all of their starters during the fourth quarter at the front end of a busy stretch on the schedule.
Durant played just under 28 minutes and fellow All-Star Russell Westbrook logged about 25. Oklahoma City plays three in a row and five games in six nights.
