James Harden scored 22 off the bench as the Oklahoma City Thunder coasted to a 111-85 victory over the stumbling Utah Jazz on Tuesday.
Kevin Durant added 21 points and Serge Ibaka collected 16 points, 10 rebounds and six blocks for the Thunder, who have scored at least 101 points in five straight games.
The Jazz were playing the final game of a back-to-back-to-back stretch and looked sluggish from the start, shooting 32.7 percent in the first half to fall into a 53-39 hole.
Russell Westbrook scored 11 of his 16 points before the break and was on the court for just over 23 minutes in the easy win.
Harden took over for Westbrook after the break and buried a pair of 3-pointers to keep the offense humming along before taking his seat on the end of the bench.
Oklahoma City ended up shooting 54.5 percent.
Al Jefferson scored 15 points and Derrick Favors added 13 for Utah, which has dropped seven of nine to fall back to .500 (14-14).
