The Philadelphia 76ers also remained unbeaten, erasing a double-digit deficit to improve to 4-0 with a thrilling 139-134 overtime victory over the Wizards in Washington.
Gilgeous-Alexander, who was last season's Most Valuable Player, NBA Finals MVP and league scoring leader, shook off a slow third quarter to score nine in the fourth as the Thunder rallied despite the absence of Chet Holmgren with a sore lower back.
Aaron Wiggins and Ajay Mitchell scored 18 points apiece and Lu Dort added 13 for Oklahoma City, who trailed by three going into the fourth quarter but finally took the lead for good, 99-97, on a Dort three-pointer with 2:33 to play.
