Aaron Wiggins led a balanced Thunder attack with 26 points, taking charge of a ruthless 133-100 beating of the Philadelphia 76ers for a fourth straight win, Thursday, March 20.

It was OKC’s first home win over the 76ers since 2019 as they shot 52% from the field, drained 24 threes, and dished out 36 dimes to improve to a West-best 57-12.
Kenrich Williams, Branden Carlson, and Dillon Jones combined for 40 points on the night the Thunder played SGA (rest), Jalen Williams (hip strain), Lu Dort (hip soreness), and Isaiah Hartenstien (back spasms).

Meanwhile, Quentin Grimes netted 18 markers for Philadelphia who suffered their eight road loss in the last nine games to slip to 23-46.
Oklahoma City eyes a fifth straight victory against the Charlotte Hornets (17-51) next while Philadelphia visits the Spurs in San Antonio (28-39).
