In a dominating performance, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the injury-depleted Philadelphia 76ers 133-100 on Wednesday night. Jaylin Williams recorded his second career triple-double with a career-high 19 points, 17 rebounds, and 11 assists, leading the Thunder to victory. Despite missing key players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the team clinched the Northwest Division title and moved closer to securing the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. The Thunder’s depth was on full display as Aaron Wiggins scored 26 points, Isaiah Joe added 21, and Chet Holmgren contributed 19 points to the win. On the other side, the 76ers, without starters like Joel Embiid and Paul George, struggled to keep up with Philadelphia setting a franchise record with 57 three-point attempts.
The game saw a combined 109 three-point attempts, with Oklahoma City shooting an impressive 46.2% from beyond the arc compared to Philadelphia’s 31.6%. The Thunder’s strong performance was highlighted by a 33-14 run in the third quarter, extending their lead to 29 points by the end of the period. With reserves stepping up and contributing significantly, Oklahoma City had seven players scoring in double figures.
Looking ahead, the 76ers will visit San Antonio on Friday, while the Thunder will host Charlotte. Despite missing key players, both teams will aim to bounce back and continue their push for success in the remainder of the season.
