Thunder Topples Hawks, 121-114
The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Atlanta Hawks, 121-114, at State Farm Arena on Monday night.

The Thunder (11-13) came into the contest as clear road underdogs, but a competitive first half that ended with them trailing by just five points kept them within striking distance.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 35 points, adding six boards, five assists and two steals. Josh Giddey furnished 17 points, five rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block. Ousmane Dieng delivered 15 points, five boards, one assist and one steal. Jalen Williams posted 12 points, seven rebounds, one assist and one block. Luguentz Dort generated an 11-point, 10-rebound double-double that included two assists and one block. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl compiled 10 points and six rebounds.

Dejounte Murray paced the Hawks with 24 points, complementing them with six rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks.
