Thunder roll past Kings

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 32 points, and the Oklahoma City Thunder became the first team to reach 60 wins this season with a 121-105 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night.

The Thunder's 60 wins matched the 2012-13 team for the most for the club since it left Seattle after the 2007-08 season. The franchise record for wins is 64 in 1995-96.

Gilgeous-Alexander shot 10-of-23 from the field and 9-of-10 from the free throw line for his league-best 45th 30-point game this season.

Chet Holmgren had 18 points and 10 rebounds, and Alex Caruso scored 15 to give the NBA-leading Thunder their 14th win in 15 games. It was also Oklahoma City's franchise-record 11th straight road win, which tied the Cleveland Cavaliers for longest road winning streak this season.

"We play every night to get better, to become a better group ourselves," Gilgeous-Alexander said. "And that's the reason why we've clinched this early. That's the reason why we've been the fastest team to 60 wins in franchise history.
