De’Anthony Melton added 19 points, while Andrew Wiggins contributed 18, as the Warriors improved to 8-2. With Phoenix’s loss to Sacramento, Golden State now shares the best record in the West in a three-way tie with the Thunder and Suns.
Oklahoma City made it interesting late, outscoring Golden State 37-20 in the fourth quarter, but the deficit was too large to overcome.
Six Thunder players scored in double figures, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leading the way with 24 points.
However, OKC’s efforts were dampened by an apparent hip injury to Chet Holmgren, who left the game early.
