Shai Gilgeous-Alexander uses Lu Dort’s screen and hits a step-back 3-pointer on Demar DeRozan to seal another late fourth-quarter comeback.

The Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Sacramento Kings 107-101 Tuesday inside the Paycom Center. The Thunder was down by 10 points late in the third quarter, but pulled off another comeback to continue a season-starting five-game win streak and finish a tough stretch of games to begin the 2025-26 campaign.
