The Thunder (13-4) won the free throw battle. They also won the "which team has Shai Gilgeous-Alexander" (37 on 20 shots, nbd) battle, and they worked the Kings in the second half while limiting De'Aaron Fox (14 pts, 5-15, 4 TOs) and withstanding the Sabonis and DeRozan show (21 and 30, respectively). Sadly, Oklahoma City lost the turnover battle for the first time all season, but for once didn't need every last margin to win comfortably.
Jalen Williams (28 pts, 3 stocks) as the starting center was fun while it lasted, but the At Least One Real Center Is Available era is upon us, and has thus far justified the patient optimism around these parts.
