Monta Ellis 48 points game

Monta Ellis of Golden State Warriors soars through the air for a dunk against the Thunders

Monta Ellis scored a career-high 48 points, and David Lee had 25 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists for his second career triple-double in the game against Oklahoma Thunders on February 7, 2012. Ellis and Brandon Rush both missed 3-pointers in the closing seconds to tie or take the lead.

Kevin Durant finished with 33 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, and Russell Westbrook added 31 points and seven rebounds to give Oklahoma City its fourth win in five games. 

"We have to break that cycle," Ellis said. "The games we should win, we've got to start winning. And the games like this, we should go out and compete and give ourselves a chance to win."
