Oklahoma City went on to win 137-128, thanks to Shai Gilgeous-Alexanders' fourth 50-point outing of the season, all of which occurred in the last 19 games. This time, he scored 51 on 18-of-30 shooting, along with five rebounds and seven assists.

Alexander’s detractors fell silent Friday night in the Oklahoma City Thunder's 135-119 win over the Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena.

The Oklahoma City Thunder showed maturity in its win over the Atlanta Hawks. The OKC Thunder went on a 17-0 run after being dealt a bad hand with injuries and pulled off a wire-to-wire win.

Holmgren was out for the team's latest contest against the San Antonio Spurs, though he's set to return on the second night of the back-to-back. The last time Holmgren and Hartenstein were both active, the Thunder staggered the two more. Daigneault opted to start Holmgren and bring Hartenstein off the bench.

Oklahoma City Thunder center/forward Chet Holmgren has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the host San Antonio Spurs due to a sprained left ankle. Holmgren scored seven points and played just 15 minutes in Oklahoma City's 135-119 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday.

Two minutes into the game, Holmgren sustained a left ankle sprain when he rolled it on Dyson Daniels's foot. The seven-footer had the transition advantage but only drew the shooting foul on the league leader in steals.
