Gilgeous-Alexander overcomes a poor shooting performance and leads Thunder past Wizards 136-95
Gilgeous-Alexander shot only 29.4% (5 of 17) from the floor over 30 minutes, well below his previous worst of 35% against San Antonio on Oct. 30.
But Gilgeous-Alexander's ability to draw fouls, combined with another strong showing by the NBA's best defense, lifted Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City to its largest margin of victory and sent NBA-worst Washington to its most lopsided defeat.
Aaron Wiggins added 23 points, Jalen Williams scored 17, and Isaiah Hartenstein had 10 points and 12 rebounds to help the Thunder improve to 2-1 on their four-game trip.
Corey Kispert scored 17 points for Washington, which became the NBA-high 17th opponent held under 100 points by the Thunder this season. Washington shot 33.7% from the floor and 19.6% from 3-point range.
Wizards: Jordan Poole's failure to make a 3-pointer halted a 59-game run of consecutive games with at least one made 3, the longest such streak in franchise history.
