OKLAHOMA CITY — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was a standout performer, scoring 33 points and grabbing 11 rebounds, as the Oklahoma City Thunder secured a 105-92 victory over the Boston Celtics on Sunday. This win marked a franchise-record 15 consecutive victories for the team.

With this latest triumph, the Thunder improved their impressive record to 30-5, maintaining a winning streak that extends back to December 1, when they last faced a loss in a game that counted toward the standings. It’s worth noting that their defeat against the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Cup final is not included in the overall record.

On the other side of the court, Jayson Tatum registered 26 points along with 10 rebounds for the Celtics, the defending champions of the NBA. Jaylen Brown contributed 21 points but struggled significantly in the second half, failing to score on all seven of his shots attempted.

Gilgeous-Alexander was quick to ignite the Thunder’s offense, netting nine points within the first 3.5 minutes, which allowed Oklahoma City to take an early advantage. The Celtics, however, managed to bounce back, going into halftime with a 65-55 lead.

In the third quarter, the Thunder narrowed the gap and finished the period trailing 80-76. Early in the fourth quarter, Jalen Williams put Oklahoma City back on top with two successful free throws, leading 81-80.

The Thunder maintained their momentum, and a pair of three-pointers from Lu Dort solidified their control, giving them a 100-88 lead with under two minutes remaining. Dort’s contributions included 11 points, and his perfect shooting from beyond the arc in the fourth quarter proved pivotal.

**Key Takeaways**
For the Celtics, their heavy reliance on three-point shooting posed a significant disadvantage, as they could only convert 9 of 46 attempts from long distance. This inconsistency keeps Boston as a vulnerable opponent capable of falling short in critical moments.

Meanwhile, the Thunder displayed incredible resilience, mirroring their performance against New York just days earlier. They refused to surrender, even after trailing by double digits, ultimately outscoring the Celtics by a staggering 29-12 in the fourth quarter.

**Significant Moment**
A pivotal play came when Gilgeous-Alexander executed a crossover against Jrue Holiday and sunk a three-pointer, pushing the Thunder ahead with a 92-85 lead midway through the fourth quarter.

**Noteworthy Statistic**
Oklahoma City put up an impressive defensive performance, limiting Boston to just 27 points in the second half. This marked a season low for the Celtics, whose previous low had been 44 points in a second half.

**Looking Ahead**
The Celtics are set to face the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night, while the Thunder will play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday.
