Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Oklahoma City Thunder (41-17) to a convincing 112-95 win over the Houston Rockets (25-33) on Tuesday night, extending their winning streak to six games.
Gilgeous-Alexander scored game-high 31 points, while Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren provided valuable contributions with 24 and 18 points respectively.
Despite a solid effort from Houston’s Alperen Sengun (23 points, 11 rebounds) and Jabari Smith Jr. (18 points, 13 rebounds), who posted double-doubles, the Rockets struggled to find their rhythm against Oklahoma City’s stout defense.
The win marks another statement for the Thunder, who have emerged as a formidable force in the Western Conference, currently sitting second, tied with the leading Minnesota Timberwolves.
