Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 31 points and the Oklahoma City Thunder rallied late to beat the Sacramento Kings 107-101 on Tuesday night, staying undefeated at 5-0 despite being short-handed. SGA extends his streak of 20-point games to 77.

The reigning MVP struggled through a cold third quarter, going just 1-of-9 from the field, but delivered again when it mattered shooting 4-of-6 with nine points in the fourth to seal another comeback win for the defending NBA champions.

“Just the DNA of this team,” Gilgeous-Alexander said after the win. “We understand how to win basketball games. It wasn’t going our way for most of the night, but this team knows how to win when it’s time, and we showed it tonight.”
