After losing back-to-back games for the first time this season, the defending champion OKC Thunder have bounced back with four straight wins and became the first team to reach 30 victories.
Eat, sleep, dominate, repeat.
MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander unloaded 30 points in just 28 minutes before resting in the fourth, leading the OKC Thunder's 131-94 romp of the undermanned Golden State Warriors for a fourth-straight win on Saturday, January 3 (PH time).
After suffering back-to-back losses for the first time this season, the defending champions are now on a roll, becoming the first team to hit 30 victories.
Chet Holmgren contributed a 15-point, 15-rebound double-double on top of four blocks as the Thunder led by as many as 41 points, held Golden State to a meager 36% shooting, and marked their third win over the Warriors this season.
OKC now hits the road to face the Phoenix Suns (20-14) in their next test.
Will Richard, Moses Moody, and Al Horford each logged13 points for Golden State, who played without stars Stephen Curry (ankle), Klay Thompson (injury), and Draymond Green (rest).
The Warriors fell to 18-17 and will aim to bounce back against the Utah Jazz (12-21) at home.
