Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 30 points and dished out seven assists in three quarters as his Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 137-106 Sunday, extending their winning streak to seven games and making them the only undefeated team after losses by San Antonio and Chicago. This victory also ties them with the 7-0 record from the 2014-25 season that saw them crowned NBA champions.
Gilgeous-Alexander made eight of 14 field goals and all 13 of his free throws in 30 minutes, while Isaiah Hartenstein tallied 14 points, 14 rebounds, and eight assists for the Thunder, who shot 56% from the field. Eight players scored in double figures, and the Thunder shot just under 30% from three-point range, making 20 of 48 (41.7%) against the Pelicans.
The San Antonio Spurs were 5-0 for the first time in franchise history but lost 130-118 to the Suns in Phoenix, where the home team limited San Antonio's French star. Meanwhile, the New York Knicks defeated the Chicago Bulls 128-116, handing them their first loss of the season at Madison Square Garden.
