Nets fall to Thunder 121-107

The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Brooklyn Nets 121-107 on Tuesday night for their sixth victory in seven games, led by 35 points from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and 15 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists from Josh Giddey. Oklahoma City overcame a 14-point first-half deficit thanks primarily to a scorching third quarter in which Lu Dort nailed five three-pointers, matching his season best with 24 points and nine rebounds.

Brooklyn, which had won five of its previous six games—four of those victories on the road—had Mikal Bridges score 34 points and Cam Johnson add 23 for a total of 61 points. Before settling for a 62-52 lead at the break, the Nets occasionally appeared to be running away with the game in the first half. Up until that moment, Oklahoma City had only hit 2 of 10 three-point attempts.
