In a high-stakes NBA matchup, the Oklahoma City Thunder secured a victory against the Boston Celtics, marking their fifth consecutive win. The game featured standout performances from Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who accumulated 33 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists through three quarters, and Kristaps Porzingis, who also impressed with 18 points on 7/9 shooting in the first half. Jayson Tatum of the Celtics delivered a thrilling end to the first half, but it was not enough to overcome the Thunder's lead. Despite a challenging night for Jaylen Brown, who finished with 15 points, 4/18 from the field, and 0/8 from the three-point line, the Celtics kept the game competitive. Anthony Edwards also had a notable performance with 35 points and a 52% field goal rate, although his team faced a tough loss. The Thunder's recent winning streak includes victories over top teams, underscoring their rising status in the league.

Kings lead the Hornets 78-75 heading to the fourth. The vibe is strange. Sabonis has 19 points and 16 rebounds, but also 4 fouls. Fox has 18 after a slow start.

SGA, 36 more in a home win over the NBA's best team, the Celtics. SGA MVP.

Would be very much down for a Celtics-Thunder Finals.
Pretty great game. Even with a rough Jaylen Brown night and Jrue clearly limited, the Celtics made them earn it. OKC's just good as hell.

BOS v OKC is a modern offensive masterpiece. Clinic in ball movement, shotmaking, rim pressure, mismatch hunting. Athletes + shooters + size everywhere. Almost everyone on the court can grab-and-go coast to coast. The defense has been activeโjust better O. Elite reg season hoops!
