SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Jason Thompson had 21 points and 14 rebounds to help Sacramento beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 101-98 on Tuesday, giving the Kings their first three-game winning streak in over a year.

Sacramento (4-4) reached the .500 mark for the first time since Dec. 4, 2006.

Tyreke Evans had 20 points, eight rebounds and eight assists for the Kings, who made 31 of 36 free throws. Andres Nocioni scored 16 points, while both Beno Udrih and Spencer Hawes had 12. Kevin Durant scored a season-high 37 points, including making all 18 free throws, for the Thunder. Oklahoma City lost for the fourth time in five games since opening the season with consecutive wins.

Durant had a chance to send the game to OT, but missed a 3-pointer with a second left.
