The Oklahoma City Thunder dominated the Chicago Bulls 131-113 by using a 22-0 second-half run on Friday night.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander dropped 25 points to maintain his record 134th consecutive game of scoring at least 20, but made just 8 of 24 shots.
Casson Wallace added 21 points, and Jalen Williams’ first home game since 13, had 18 points, eight assists, and six boards for Oklahoma City.
The Thunder got back on track despite coming off a loss in Boston and playing without All-Star forward Chet Holmgren, who was out with a bruised right hip.
It was an important win for Oklahoma City, which is trying to hold off San Antonio for home-court advantage in the playoffs.
On the other hand, Collin Sexton scored 22 points, Tre Jones scored 21 and Isaac Okoro added 20 for the Bulls, who have lost four of five.
Sexton took charge in the first half and scored 16 to help the Bulls take a 67-62 lead.
Oklahoma City earned the lead through a triple by Jaylin Williams to put them up 89-88, and closed the third on a 15-0 burst with 95-88 going to the fourth.
Up next: the Bulls visit the Grizzlies on Saturday, while the Thunder host the Knicks on Sunday.
