OKLAHOMA CITY — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 15 points in one half of action, and the Oklahoma City Thunder rolled past the depleted Dallas Mavericks 135-86 to earn the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference playoffs. The Thunder will have to wait for the Play-In Tournament's conclusion to learn their opponent. NBA scoring leader Luka Doncic and star guard Kyrie Irving were among the four starters the Mavericks rested. Doncic had a sore left ankle and Irving had a sore left hamstring. The Mavericks already had clinched the No. 5 seed and a matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers.
