Reigning NBA Most Valuable Player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added 27 points, five assists, two steals and two rebounds as the Thunder improved to 27-5.

"We just did a good job getting back to our style of play and our standards," said Thunder reserve Aaron Wiggins. "We did a good job just course correcting."

Wiggins scored 15 points on six-of-eight shooting for the Thunder, who lost four of their previous six games, three of them to San Antonio.

"We had good recovery days and good practice and were just a little more disciplined within the way we want to play," he added. "Did a good job making the right plays and sticking to it the entire game."
