The Oklahoma City Thunder showcased their dominance with a commanding 125-96 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, elevating their record to 30 games above .500. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the charge, scoring 34 points in just 22 minutes, contributing significantly to the offensive onslaught that saw the Thunder net 78 points in the first half. Ousmane Dieng also made a notable impact, posting a season-high 21 points and eight rebounds.

The Thunder, starting a lineup that included Gilgeous-Alexander and Isaiah Hartenstein, displayed exceptional shooting, particularly in the first quarter. With five players scoring in double digits, the team capitalized on the Bucks' injuries, which sidelined key players like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard. Despite the absence of their stars, the Bucks struggled to contain the Thunder's relentless offense.
