Player grades: Thunder enjoy stress-free 121-92 win over Nets

After another Brooklyn mishap, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander barely needed to lift a finger to extend his historic 20-point streak. Another live-ball turnover allowed the reigning MVP to go up for a rare dunk to cross the mark in the opening minutes of the second half. That was the only drama left.

The Oklahoma City Thunder made easy work of the Brooklyn Nets with a 121-92 win. I can see why both of these teams have near symmetrical records as they're on opposite sides of the NBA highway. The Thunder didn't need long to put this one away.

Gilgeous-Alexander faced a whisper of 'free-throw merchant' chants early on. That proved to be the best defense Barclays offered against the reigning MVP. They had a 28-11 lead after the first quarter.

Things only got worse from there — for Brooklyn, at least. After sitting on ice for the last couple of games, Kenrich Williams checked in energized. He had three steals in five minutes.
