Nerlens Noel converted lob passes from Dennis Schroder into dunks on consecutive possessions during a second-quarter flurry Wednesday night, propelling the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 120-100 victory over the host Sacramento Kings. Schroder finished with a game-high 24 points to go with nine assists, and rookie Luguentz Dort surprised the Kings with a career-best 23 points, helping the Thunder win for the sixth time in their last seven games. Bogdan Bogdanovic had a team-high 23 points for the Kings, who saw a two-game winning streak end. The Thunder went on to lead 59-47 at halftime and never saw the advantage shrink to fewer than seven in the second half. The Thunder outscored the Kings 45-27 on 3-pointers, connecting on 15 of their 34 tries.
