Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 30 points as the Oklahoma City Thunder thumped New Orleans 137-106 and emerged from Sunday as the NBA’s only remaining unbeaten team after losses for San Antonio and Chicago.

But the Spurs, who were off to a 5-0 start for the first time in franchise history, fell 130-118 to the Suns in Phoenix, where the hosts held San Antonio’s French star Victor Wembanyama to a dismal nine points.

The New York Knicks handed the Bulls their first defeat of the season 128-116 at Madison Square Garden.
