Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Oklahoma City Thunder to a decisive 118-102 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, scoring 32 points in a game where the 76ers were without three All-Stars: Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Paul George. The Thunder maintained a substantial lead throughout, capitalizing on the absence of Philadelphia's key players as they continued their impressive streak, winning 18 of their last 19 games.

Justin Edwards was the standout for the 76ers, contributing 25 points, while Jeff Dowtin Jr. added 18. The Sixers have struggled significantly without their star players, losing three consecutive games and six of their last eight. Their current record of 15-23 puts them in a precarious position, closer to a draft lottery spot than a playoff berth, with Embiid missing 25 games this season.
