Golden State Warriors at Oklahoma City Thunder

Gilgeous-Alexander's 28 points, Holmgren's perfect shooting lead Thunder in rout of Warriors

Holmgren had 23 points and 11 rebounds. He made all nine of his field goals, both of his 3-pointers and all three of his free throw attempts.

Isaiah Joe scored 18 points and Ajay Mitchell added 17 for the defending champion Thunder, who improved to 11-1.

Jonathan Kuminga led the Warriors with 13 points. Stephen Curry, who missed the previous three games due to illness, had 11 points on 4-for-13 shooting. He struggled on defense too — he committed his fifth foul with just under 10 minutes left in the third quarter.

Thunder defensive stopper Lu Dort was out with a right upper trapezius strain, but they still had plenty of elite perimeter defenders to frustrate the Warriors. It was their second-lowest scoring effort of the season.

The Thunder improved to 5-0 at home this season while Golden State fell to 1-6 on the road.

The Thunder led 58-40 late in the second quarter when Golden State's Draymond Green was called for a personal foul and a technical, bringing gleeful cheers from Thunder fans who booed him loudly during pregame introductions. Oklahoma City made all three free throws to extend its lead to 21.

Oklahoma City led 63-44 at the break, with Gilgeous-Alexander scoring 15 points and Holmgren adding 11 on 5-for-5 shooting. The Thunder limited Curry to seven points on 3-for-10 shooting in the first half.

Gilgeous-Alexander got the crowd fired up when he drove, made a layup and drew contact from Green. The free throw pushed Oklahoma City's lead to 80-58. The Thunder increased their advantage to 107-72 at the end of the third quarter.
