The 127-101 beating the Nets took from the Thunder at Paycom Center — and the way OKC has run through the entire league — is a scary reminder of just how well-poised Sunday’s foe is to dominate the NBA both today and tomorrow.
The Oklahoma City Thunder open up a three game home stand inside the Paycom Center on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets ... its top two players, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Wrist) and Jalen Williams ...
On Thursday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Oklahoma City Thunder earned a blowout victory but saw superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hurt his wrist, having
Jones' off-ball contributions will likely make or break his Thunder tenure. When he's on the floor, the ball will seldom be in his hands as a role player. Some combination of Gilgeous-Alexander, Holmgren and Williams will ideally run the offense.
Here we will discuss the player who's part of the Oklahoma City Thunder' dream scenario for the 2025 NBA trade deadline.
With this performance, Shai also made NBA history. He became the only Canadian-born player to record multiple games with 50 or more points. Of course, he was tied with fellow Canadian-born player Jamal Murray of the Denver Nuggets with one 50-point game, but after his incredible performance Wednesday night, Shai now stands alone at the top.
Unfortunately, the Thunder wasted an all-time showing from star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The 26-year-old had 52 points on 16-of-29 from the field and an 18-of-21 clip from the free-throw line in a massive outing. In turn, Gilgeous-Alexander set a few NBA marks in the loss, and the NBA announced the history he made after the game.
Stephen Curry bounced back from a four-point first half with five second-half 3-pointers and the Golden State Warriors rallied to overcome Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 52 points and stun the Oklahoma City Thunder 116-109 on Wednesday night in San Francisco.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Keon Johnson led a balanced Brooklyn attack with 18 points, and the Nets snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 104-83 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night. Jalen Wilson added 15 points and Tosan Evbuomwan had 14 for the Nets,
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has started the Oklahoma City Thunder's game against the Golden State Warriors in phenomenal fashion. In the first quarter, Shai put up 21 points (7-8 FG), two rebounds, and two assists to help the Thunder score 34 points.
The NBA trade deadline is, for most teams, an exercise in resource-management. Take the Phoenix Suns. They are so desperate for the flexibility to make moves that they just traded one great first-round pick for three bad ones.
