NBA-best Thunder end two-game skid as Raptors win in OT
Chet Holmgren scored 29 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead reigning champion Oklahoma City over Philadelphia 129-104 on Sunday as the NBA's winningest team snapped a two-game losing streak.
Reigning NBA Most Valuable Player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added 27 points, five assists, two steals and two rebounds as the Thunder improved to 27-5.
"We just did a good job getting back to our style of play and our standards," Thunder reserve Andrew Wiggins said. "We did a good job just course correcting."
Wiggins scored 15 points on 6-of-8 shooting for the Thunder, who had lost four of their prior six games, three of them to San Antonio.
"We had good recovery days and good practice and were just a little more disciplined within the way we want to play," said Wiggins. "Did a good job making the right plays and sticking to it the entire game.
"Third quarter we turned it up a little bit midway through and we were able to get going."
Tyrese Maxey scored 28 points to lead seven double-digit scorers for the 76ers (16-14).
Toronto's Scottie Barnes delivered a triple double with 23 points, 25 rebounds and 10 assists to lead the Raptors over visiting Golden State 141-127 in overtime.
Immanuel Quickley scored 27 points and Brandon Ingram added 26 to lead Toronto while Stephen Curry scored a game-high 39 points for the Warriors, whose three-game win streak was snapped.
Quickley scored five points in overtime while Barnes and Ingram each added four for Toronto, which opened the extra session on a 10-0 run and never looked back.
