Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams combined for 68 points to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder (43-19) to a 128-120 win over the Portland Trail Blazers (17-44) on Wednesday night.
Gilgeous-Alexander dropped game-high 37 points, while Williams contributed 31, and Chet Holmgren added 21 points and a season-high 14 rebounds for the Thunder.
Despite a strong effort from Anfernee Simons, who scored 29 points for the short-handed Blazers, supported by Jerami Grant (20 points), Duop Reath and Matisse Thybulle (16 each), Portland couldn’t overcome the offensive onslaught from Oklahoma City.
