The Oklahoma City Thunder secured the league's top spot with a 118-108 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, improving to an NBA-best 37-8.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continued his MVP-caliber season, dropping 35 points to lead OKC to the win.

Jalen Williams provided ample support with 24 points and eight assists, as the Thunder claimed the league’s best record from the slumping Cleveland Cavaliers.

 


 

Portland, now 17-29, was led by Deni Avdija's 28 points, while Scoot Henderson added 25.

Toumani Camara chipped in 24 for the Blazers, who stayed competitive but couldn’t contain Oklahoma City’s star duo.
