Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Drops 46 as Thunder Outlast Jazz in Overtime Thriller

Posted : 08 January 2026

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander produced a sensational scoring display, pouring in 46 points to guide the Oklahoma City Thunder to a dramatic 129-125 overtime win against the Utah Jazz. The reigning NBA Most Valuable Player also delivered the crucial basket that forced overtime before taking control as the defending champions sealed victory.

The win improved Oklahoma City’s record to 31-7, keeping them firmly at the summit of the Western Conference. Center Chet Holmgren played a key supporting role, recording a strong double-double with 23 points and 12 rebounds.

Elsewhere in the West, the San Antonio Spurs strengthened their hold on second place with a convincing 107-91 home win over the Los Angeles Lakers. Keldon Johnson led a well-balanced Spurs offense with 27 points, while rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama contributed 16 points off the bench.

Despite the loss, Luka Dončić delivered a standout performance for the Lakers, finishing with a triple-double of 38 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. The Lakers opted to rest LeBron James after his strong showing in their previous game against New Orleans.

The Denver Nuggets remained third in the Western Conference after edging the Boston Celtics 114-110 on the road. Denver were again without Nikola Jokić, sidelined with a knee issue, but Peyton Watson stepped up with a team-high 30 points, while Jamal Murray added 22 points and a career-best 17 assists.

In the Eastern Conference, the New York Knicks snapped a four-game losing streak by beating the Los Angeles Clippers 134-111, a result that saw the Celtics slip to third place in the standings.

Eastern Conference leaders Detroit Pistons continued their impressive form, moving to 28-9 after a 108-93 victory over the Chicago Bulls, highlighted by Isaiah Stewart’s career-high 31 points.
