Kevin Durant has said that it was key for him to be aggressive in the third quarter of the Oklahoma City Thunder's win over the Denver Nuggets last night.

The Thunder got off to a good start before Durant and Russell Westbrook took control of the scoring to secure the 105-93 win.

The forward told reporters: "It's a good win. We came here and beat a team that plays well at home and has been playing really well since the last time we played them. Any win on the road is tough, so we'll take it.

"My teammates set me up so well and I was just trying to be aggressive because I knew I didn't start the game off the way I wanted to. The third quarter is always key for us so I just put my head down and tried to score."

Durant finished the game with 30 points, which is the 12th time this season that he had reached the milestone.
