Another day, another Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 30-piece.

SGA dropped 37 markers and the West no. 1 OKC Thunder pulled away in the fourth to topple the Memphis Grizzlies, 125-104, for an eighth-straight win, Friday, March 28. 

It was also the 61st dub of the Thunder, setting a franchise record for most regular season victories since relocating to Oklahoma City in 2008. Back in the 2012-2013 season, they finished 60-22 led by Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. 

Jalen Williams chipped in 20 markers while Isaiah Hartenstein recorded an 18-point, 11-rebound double as OKC outscored Memphis, 34-15, in the final frame. 

On the other hand, Jaren Jackson Jr. put up 27 points to pace the Grizzlies, who dropped to 44-29 with the loss.  

The Grizzlies now gear for a three-game homestand, starting against the LA Lakers (44-28). Meanwhile, the Thunder host the Indiana Pacers (43-30) next.
