Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 32-point performance leads the Oklahoma City Thunder to a dominant 115-101 victory over the Miami Heat. The Thunder overcome a 21-point first-half deficit with a 24-0 fourth-quarter run, while the Heat see their losing streak extend to three games.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander erupted for 32 points, leading the Oklahoma City Thunder to a resounding 115-101 victory over the Miami Heat on Wednesday. The Thunder, overcoming a 21-point first-half deficit, extended their winning streak to a remarkable seven games, while the Heat suffered their third consecutive loss.Oklahoma City's dominance was evident in the fourth quarter, where they unleashed a blistering 24-0 run.
Fueled by six 3-pointers, two apiece from Gilgeous-Alexander and Isaiah Joe, the Thunder shot an astonishing 7-for-7 from the floor to start the quarter. This explosive surge propelled them to a 14-point lead, leaving the Heat reeling. Miami struggled to find their rhythm, missing their first six shots of the quarter and committing five turnovers, failing to score until nearly six minutes into the frame. The Heat never managed to close the gap to less than 10 points for the remainder of the game.Earlier in the game, the Heat appeared to be in control, dominating the paint against a Thunder team missing 7-footer Chet Holmgren. Holmgren, who recently returned from a nearly three-month absence due to a pelvic fracture, sat out to rest on the first night of a back-to-back. Oklahoma City gradually chipped away at the deficit in the third quarter, cutting it to single digits late before Nikola Jovic's 3-pointer gave the Heat a 93-83 lead heading into the final quarter. However, the Thunder's fourth-quarter onslaught proved insurmountable. Oklahoma City capitalized on Miami's 16 turnovers, scoring 27 points off of them, further solidifying their victory. Jalen Williams contributed 18 points and Luguentz Dort added 17, showcasing the team's depth and offensive firepower. While the Thunder struggled from beyond the arc early, hitting only 1 of 12 3-pointers in the first half, they rallied with three of their last four before halftime to cut the deficit. Miami, led by Bam Adebayo with 27 points, 13 of which came in the first quarter, couldn't withstand the Thunder's relentless surge in the final quarter. Oklahoma City's Alex Caruso left the game in the second quarter with left hip tightness and did not return.
