WASHINGTON — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 16 of his 27 points from the foul line to overcome his worst shooting performance of the season and help the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 136-95 rout of the Washington Wizards. Gilgeous-Alexander shot only 29.4% (5 of 17) from the floor over 30 minutes, well below his previous worst of 35% against San Antonio on Oct. 30. It was the Western Conference-leading Thunders' largest margin of victory and sent NBA-worst Washington to its most lopsided loss. Aaron Wiggins added 23 points, Jalen Williams scored 17 points, and Isaiah Hartenstein had 10 points and 12 rebounds to help the Thunder improve to 2-1 on their four-game trip. Corey Kispert scored 17 points for Washington.
