OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) \u2014 Chet Holmgren<\/a> scored 21 points, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander<\/a> added 20 and the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> had a season-high point total to rout the Utah Jazz<\/a> 146-111 on Sunday night. <\/p>\n

Gilgeous-Alexander sat out the fourth quarter with the Thunder in firm control. He extended his record streak of games with at least 20 points to 138.<\/p>\n

Cason Wallace<\/a> scored 16 points and Jalen Williams<\/a> added 15 for the Thunder, who increased their lead over the San Antonio Spurs<\/a> to three games with four remaining in the race for the top seed in the playoffs. Oklahoma City has won five straight and 17 of 18.<\/p>\n

The Thunder shot 58.1% from the field overall and made 24 of 45 3-pointers. This shooting spree came three nights after Oklahoma City blew out the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> 139-96.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma City has dominated while holding off the Spurs in the standings. The Thunder’s last home loss was Feb. 12 against Milwaukee. Their last home loss with Gilgeous-Alexander in the lineup was Jan. 25 against Toronto.<\/p>\n

Brice Sensabaugh<\/a> scored 34 points and Kyle Filipowski<\/a> added 20 points and 14 rebounds for Utah, which lost its ninth straight.<\/p>\n

Cody Williams<\/a>, Jalen Williams’ brother, started for the Jazz and finished with eight points and five rebounds.<\/p>\n

Holmgren’s nasty baseline dunk on Filipowski gave the Thunder a 59-39 lead in the second quarter.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma City’s Cason Wallace missed a fast break dunk late in the first half, but Jalen Williams caught the ball on the way down and dunked it with two hands to put the Thunder up 72-52.<\/p>\n

The Thunder shot 63% from the field in the first half to take a 75-54 lead at the break.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma City extended that margin to 108-81 at the end of the third quarter, and the starters sat out the fourth.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Jazz: At New Orleans on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Thunder: At the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
