Rudy Gay scored 28 points and O.J. Mayo added 17 to lead Memphis to its first victory over the Celtics in seven tries since 2006.

Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo scored 17 points apiece for the Celtics, who suffered their equal heaviest defeat of the season.

In Oklahoma City, Kevin Durant scored 29 points to lead Oklahoma City over injury-depleted New Orleans.

Russell Westbrook added 17 points and came up just shy of a triple-double for the Thunder.
