Oklahoma City extends its strong run with a gritty road victory, while Detroit struggles with ejections and technical fouls.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Oklahoma City Thunder with a dominant 48-point performance, shooting 17-of-26 from the field and adding six assists and three steals.
The Thunder secured their ninth win in 10 games despite missing key starters Jalen Williams (hip strain) and Chet Holmgren (rest).
Detroit Pistons' Cade Cunningham was ejected late in the third quarter after receiving two technical fouls during a heated exchange with officials; the team accumulated five technicals in the period.
The Pistons mounted a late comeback, cutting the deficit to one point with 4:16 remaining, but Gilgeous-Alexander's clutch scoring and a decisive Cason Wallace three-pointer sealed the win for Oklahoma City.
Tobias Harris and Dennis Schroder led the Pistons in scoring with 18 and 17 points respectively, while Detroit honored former NBA player Junior Bridgeman with a moment of silence before the game.
