The Thunder have won three consecutive games and 10 of their last 12 to move into the top spot in the Western Conference.

The Grizzlies have dropped back-to-back games and 16 of their last 20.

While Gilgeous-Alexander continued to shine for Oklahoma City, it was Josh Giddey's continuing resurgence that helped the Thunder quickly seize control.

Giddey had a hand in Oklahoma City's first 10 points, starting with a layup for the game's first basket that turned into a three-point play.

Giddey had two assists and added another bucket in the first three-plus minutes of the game.

By midway through the first quarter, the Thunder took a lead that didn't shrink to fewer than 11. After halftime, the margin never got closer than 21.

The Thunder shot 52.7 percent from the floor.

It was a rough night for Oklahoma City's Jalen Williams.

In the first quarter, Williams turned his ankle near midcourt and had to go to the locker room for treatment before returning to start the second quarter.

Less than four minutes into the second quarter, Williams drove to the basket, cutting between Lamar Stevens and Trey Jamison for a layup. But as Williams spun around following the shot, he twisted his ankle again, stepping on a cameraman underneath the basket, and left the game for good with a right ankle sprain.

Rookie GG Jackson led the Grizzlies with a career-high 30 points.
