It's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder against De'Aaron Fox and the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night at Frost Bank Center.

Alexander’s putback basket in the fourth quarter put him over 50 points and sent the Oklahoma City crowd into a frenzy.

The Oklahoma City Thunder and Cleveland Cavaliers have had historic starts and have run away with the top seed. In the Thunder's case, that includes a historic 51-11 start with the NBA's best point differential ever at plus-12.

Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander saw his team return to its stifling defensive identity in Wednesday night’s 120-103 win against the Memphis Grizzlies. For Gilgeous-Alexander, the NBA’s top-ranked defense hasn’t been the same lately before the Thunder held Ja Morant and the Grizzlies’ offense to 103 points on 40.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander praises Jaylin Williams for stepping up in the Oklahoma City Thunder's win over Memphis Grizzlies.

The red-hot Oklahoma City Thunder exposed Ja Morant’s misfiring Memphis Grizzlies in a nationally broadcast 120-103 win that lacked some luster due to injuries. Chet Holgrem and Jaren Jackson Jr.’s frontcourt faceoff will have to wait but neither would have made much of a difference in the outcome.
