No fourth quarter collapse this time, but the West-leading OKC Thunder had to dig deep to get back on track.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander poured 27 points as four other Thunder scored 20 markers or more in a gutsy 129-121 come-from-behind dub against the Brooklyn Nets, Thursday, February 27.

Aaron Wiggins added 24 points off the bench while Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams contributed 22 each, as OKC rebounded after a deflating overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.  

The bounce-back win helped the Thunder hike their record to 47-11 this season, while also completing a regular season sweep of the Nets. 

Meanwhile, Day'Ron Sharpe anchored Brooklyn with a 25-point, 16-rebound double-double in a losing effort despite the squad hitting 23 three-pointers. 

OKC travels next to Atlanta to battle the Hawks (27-32) while the Nets host the Portland Trail Blazers (26-33) in their next outing.
