Westbrook leads way for Thunder

NBA scoring leader Russell Westbrook scored 27 points and added 11 assists and Enes Kanter contributed 25 points and 16 rebounds as the host Thunder beat the Los Angeles Lakers, 127-117, on Tuesday night for their fourth straight victory.

Kanter had a double-double in the first quarter with 15 points and 10 rebounds as Oklahoma City raced out to a 37-27 lead.

Pistons 108, Raptors 104 - Reggie Jackson had 28 points and nine assists and Andre Drummond added 21 points and 18 rebounds as Detroit topped visiting Toronto.

Jackson and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope combined for 54 points, 13 assists, and 11 rebounds in the game without committing a turnover.

Although Steve Nash says his three-year stint with the Los Angeles Lakers was a failure, the two-time MVP point guard heads into retirement with warm feelings for the teammates and fans who supported him in his injury struggles.

Nash formally discussed his retirement Tuesday at the Lakers' training complex. Three days earlier, he announced the long-expected end of his 19-year NBA career.

The 41-year-old Nash didn't play this season after emerging from his first preseason game in excruciating pain.
