Texas: Kawhi Leonard dropped 26 points on Sunday helping the San Antonio Spurs beat Oklahoma City Thunder 93-85.
The win is Spurs' 41st consecutive one at home. They are 56-10 for the season. LaMarcus Aldridge also starred for Spurs, scoring 24 points. They are 32-0 at home this season. Their home winning streak is the third longest in NBA history. The record belongs to Golden State Warriors who are currently on a 47 match winning streak at home. No team has ever gone an entire season unbeaten at home. 
For the Thunder, Kevin Durant had 28 points and eight assists. The team are 44-22 for the season but have been lacking form since the All-Star weekend, winning just four of 12 games. They were 72-66 today's game but failed to hold on for the win.
