DALLAS, TX -- Kevin Durant finally found his postseason shooting touch to get Oklahoma City off to a quick start, and the Thunder never trailed on the way to a 95-79 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night for a commanding 3-0 series lead over the defending NBA champs.

After two close games on their home court, the young Thunder ran away with Game 3.

They will run away with the first-round series with one more win. Game 4 is Saturday in Dallas.

Durant finished with 31 points on 11-of-15 shooting. The three-time NBA scoring champion was a combined 15 of 44 in the first two games of the series, though he had a game-winning jumper with 1.5 seconds in the opener.

Russell Westbrook added 20 points for the Thunder.

Dirk Nowitzki had 17 points to lead Dallas.
