The Thunder were without Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka and Enes Kanter, but they still found a way to get it done.

Trailing by as much as 12 in the second half, Oklahoma City outscored Atlanta 33-20 in the fourth quarter behind hot shooting from Anthony Morrow to steal the victory.

Morrow went 6-of-10 from three-point range, burying five triples in the second half. Three of those treys came during the fourth period when the Thunder were making their run.

The Hawks' offense, which was so spectacular the first three quarters, went completely stagnant down the stretch.

Westbrook only shot 8-of-24 from the floor, but he went a perfect 17-of-17 from the free-throw line. He also knocked down three three-pointers.

Steven Adams contributed a double-double, registering 12 points and 16 boards for Oklahoma City.

The Thunder shot 51 percent from the floor and went 13-of-30 from downtown. They also went 24-of-26 from the charity stripe.

Pero Antic led Atlanta with a career-high 22 points off the bench, 15 of those coming in the first half. He also set a career high in three-pointers, making four.

Dennis Schroder chipped in 21 points off the pine.

The Hawks were short-handed, as well, playing without Mike Scott, Kyle Korver and Thabo Sefolosha.

Atlanta shot 50 percent and went 13-of-29 from long range.

The Hawks will look to avoid a third consecutive loss when they host the surging San Antonio Spurs Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. ET.

Meanwhile, the Thunder will look to continue their playoff push when they host the Miami Heat on the same day and at the same time.
