OKLAHOMA CITY—Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 40 points in his return from injury, and the Oklahoma City Thunder rallied from a 20-point deficit to defeat Sacramento 112–105 on Tuesday night as the Kings’ Domantas Sabonis had his double-double streak halted at 61 games.
Gilgeous-Alexander had missed six of the team’s previous seven games with a bruised right thigh, and the team went 2–4 without him. He gave Oklahoma City a much-needed boost against the Kings, scoring the team’s final six points to seal an important win.
