Thunder defeat Grizzlies 125-104, record 61st win

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 125-104 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, marking the Thunder's eighth consecutive win and their 61st overall this season. Gilgeous-Alexander scored 37 points, contributing significantly to the Thunder's performance, while Jalen Williams added 20 points in his return from injury. The Thunder's defense was pivotal, forcing turnovers that resulted in a 29-9 scoring advantage off turnovers. In contrast, the Grizzlies, who are struggling without star Ja Morant, saw Jaren Jackson Jr. score 27 points but faced offensive stagnation in the fourth quarter. The loss for Memphis continues a difficult stretch, as they have dropped four of their last five games. Oklahoma City is now just three wins shy of tying the franchise record for most wins in a season, set in 1995-96.
