NBA – Durant back to his best as Thunder beat Grizzlies to advance [video]

OKLAHOMA CITY (NBA) - Kevin Durant poured in 39 points and led the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 105-90 Game 7 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies in the Western Conference semi-finals on Sunday.

Durant and Co will now take on Dallas with a spot in the NBA Finals at stake, and they won't have much time to get ready for the Mavericks with Game 1 of that series on Tuesday night in Texas.

Russell Westbrook, who played with Durant for the gold-medal winning Team USA at last year's FIBA World Championship, weighed in with 14 points and 14 assists for the Thunder.

Durant had just 11 points in Oklahoma City's Game 6 defeat at Memphis.

His 39 points are the fifth most in a Game 7 in the last 15 years.

He also had nine rebounds and three blocks.

Durant, the MVP of the World Championship in Turkey, was a member of the All-NBA first team this season while Memphis forward Zach Randolph was a third-team selection.

Randolph had only praise for Durant.

"Durant is a special player, one of the best players in the NBA," he said.

"The kid is a gym rat, he works hard. He's one of my favorite players. You've got to give him kudos and give him respect."

Mike Conley finished with 18 points, Randolph and OJ Mayo had 17 and Marc Gasol added a dozen for Memphis, who had never won a play-off game before this season.

They beat the top seed San Antonio Spurs 4-2 and then pushed the Thunder to the limit before seeing their title hopes dashed on Sunday.
