What happened
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a season-high 43 points and hit the go-ahead 3 in Oklahoma City’s 117-112 win over Cleveland Monday.
The Thunder again played without Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren, Cason Wallace and Alex Caruso, and Ajay Mitchell, Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams joined the starting lineup.
Those absences keep Oklahoma City’s rotation fluid, so Wednesday’s rematch could feature another makeshift starting five if the injured players remain out.
