NEW YORK — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 27 points, Chet Holmgren had 22 points and 17 rebounds, and the Oklahoma City Thunder rebounded from a stunning collapse with a game-changing blitz in the fourth quarter to beat the Brooklyn Nets 129-121. Aaron Wiggins added 24 points for the Thunder, who were playing for the first time since their 131-128 loss to Minnesota on Monday, when they led by 24 points in the fourth quarter. They had some of the same defensive woes in this one and trailed by 18. But then they unleased an 18-0 run on the Nets in the fourth quarter. Day'Ron Sharpe scored a career-high 25 points for the Nets.
