Wiggins leads Thunder to dominant win over short-handed 76ers

Aaron Wiggins scored 26 points as the Oklahoma City Thunder (57-12) routed the Philadelphia 76ers (23-46) 133-100 on Wednesday night.

Oklahoma City played without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Lu Dort, Isaiah Hartenstein, and Jalen Williams but still overwhelmed the injury-plagued 76ers.

Jaylin Williams recorded a triple-double with a career-high 19 points, 17 rebounds, and 11 assists, helping the Thunder clinch the Northwest Division title.

Isaiah Joe added 21 points, and Chet Holmgren contributed 19 as Oklahoma City extended its lead to 29 points by the end of the third quarter.

Philadelphia, missing key players like Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr., Joel Embiid, and Paul George, struggled to keep up after halftime.

Quentin Grimes led the 76ers with 28 points, while Justin Edwards finished with 19.

Both teams attempted a combined 109 three-pointers, with Philadelphia setting a franchise record with 57 attempts but making just 31.6% of them.

Oklahoma City shot 46.2% from beyond the arc and finished with seven players in double figures, including Branden Carlson (16), Kenrich Williams (13), and Dillon Jones (11).
