OKLAHOMA CITY -- As Russell Westbrook took off, he saw Clint Capela as a mere obstacle to victory rather than an athletic 6-foot-10 shot blocker.In the blink of an eye, Westbrook uncorked a vicious left-handed hammer dunk over Capela in the closing seconds to help the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Houston Rockets 105-103 on Wednesday night.Oklahoma City led by three when the 6-3 Westbrook threw it down with 5.5 seconds left to put the Thunder up five.Westbrook said Capelas reputation -- he had already blocked three shots on the night and ranks among the leagues leaders -- didnt deter him.It dont matter, man, Westbrook said.

He made just 4 of 16 shots while being harassed by Andre Roberson.Dre did an amazing job, like hes been doing all season, Westbrook said. James is a tough player, obviously, and he (Roberson) did a great job of making him shoot over his length. He needs to get credit for what hes been doing defensively all year.Capela added 13 points and 14 rebounds for the Rockets, who went scoreless for more than six minutes in the fourth quarter to help the Thunder position themselves for the win.We didnt play well, Harden said.

The Rockets stretched their lead to 11, but the Thunder pulled to 90-85 by the end of the period.Oladipos 3-pointer with just under three minutes to play tied the score at 100, then Robersons alley-oop dunk on a lob from Westbrook finally put the Thunder ahead.Westbrook made a free throw to extend Oklahoma Citys lead to three with 28 seconds remaining. Houston missed an opportunity when Harden and Trevor Ariza failed to connect while Ariza was open in the corner. That set up Westbrooks game-clinching dunk.I still wasnt able to make a couple of passes, Harden said. Normal game, just didnt make shots, especially down the stretch when we needed to.

On Mar. 16, coming off a "fight of the year" performance at UFC 154 the previous November, St-Pierre faced Nick Diaz at UFC 158 in what would be his eighth defence of the welterweight title. Using his superior athleticism, St-Pierre cruised to a five round, unanimous decision victory setting up a much-anticipated title defence against number one contender Johny Hendricks. Junior lightweight titleholder Jose Pedraza, who was granted an exception from his mandatory defense, will face flashy Floyd Mayweather protégé Gervonta Davis on Jan. 14, the promoters told ESPN on Monday night.Pedraza-Davis will be part of a Showtime-televised card headlined by the previously announced super middleweight world title unification fight between Badou Jack (20-1-2, 12 KOs) and James DeGale (23-1, 14 KOs) at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.The site is locked in only if co-promoters Mayweather Promotions and DiBella Entertainment can secure an insurance policy approved by the New York State Athletic Commission that conforms to the recently implemented law that changed insurance standards for combat sports in the state. So far, there is no policy available to boxing promoters to buy so they can put on a boxing card in New York, which has not hosted a professional boxing event since Aug. 21.Pedraza (22-0, 12 KOs), 27, of Puerto Rico, will be making the third defense of his 130-pound world title since he won the vacant belt by one-sided decision against Andrey Klimov in June 2015.I think its a helluva fight, very dangerous, but its a fight Pedraza wanted, promoter Lou DiBella said. Davis has been screaming and yelling that he wanted a big fight, and he got what he wanted.In order to make the fight, Pedraza had to secure an exception from the IBF allowing him to fight Davis rather than his mandatory challenger, Englands Liam Walsh (21-0, 14 KOs), who became the mandatory by beating Klimov by near-shutout decision on Oct. 8.Davis (16-0, 15 KOs), 22, of Baltimore, is an exceptionally fast and hard-hitting rising prospect who will be taking a huge step up in competition.dddddddddddd. Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe said he and Mayweather believe he is ready.We feel very, very confident that Gervonta is going to win the fight, and we think that hes going to do it in spectacular fashion, Ellerbe said. Its a tremendous opportunity, and hes ready to step up and seize the moment. This is something me and Floyd have been working on for some time.Ellerbe initially tried to make a deal for Davis to challenge titleholder Jason Sosa for his version of the title, but that deal fell apart, so they pursued Pedraza.We tried to make the Sosa fight, but it didnt happen for a number of reasons, Ellerbe said. Were excited to work with Lou. We have a tremendous card Jan. 14, and this fight is just part of it. Gervonta is a straight killer. Hes a very good boxer, but hes also a tremendous puncher. Hell go into the fight fully prepared, and we expect him to bring that IBF championship home.The card will mark the first time that Mayweather Promotions, which also represents Jack, will be promoting in New York, a place Mayweather never fought as an active boxer.Floyd has been wanting to bring a big event to New York and invade New York, Ellerbe said. Mayweather Promotions invades New York. Its something weve been working on. Were very confident that everything will be worked out [with regard to the insurance issue]. Lou and his team have worked extremely hard, and Floyd has been very adamant that he wants to do anything in his power to make this happen.
