Shai Gilgeous-Alexander believes Washington Wizards are 'on the right track.'

Quickly getting into his bag in a one-on-one look, Gilgeous-Alexander dribbled circles around Jaden Hardy. Crossing him over, the reigning MVP went with the stepback 3-pointer in the final seconds of the third quarter. He drilled the shot at the buzzer as he neared 40 points and added momentum to OKC's side.

The Oklahoma City Thunder had an eventful 132-111 win over the Washington Wizards . Even though the final score suggests this was a mundane blowout, the journey to get to that destination was chaotic. Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 40 points on 17-of-27 shooting, seven assists and three rebounds.

He shot 1-of-2 from 3 and went 5-of-8 on free throws. He also had one steal. Yawning their way through a competitive first half, a Thunder-Wizards altercation woke folks up.

Jaylin Williams, Justin Champagnie and Ajay Mitchell were in the meat of the fight. Cason Wallace also egged things on. All four were ejected before the halftime break.
