The 127-101 beating the Nets took from the Thunder at Paycom Center — and the way OKC has run through the entire league — is a scary reminder of just how well-poised Sunday’s foe is to dominate the NBA both today and tomorrow.

OKLAHOMA CITY — In Ziaire Williams, the rebuilding Nets took a flier on a former lottery pick as a salary dump. He’s an athletic floor-running defender whose jumper has been his weakness. But if he can keep shooting the way he has lately, their gamble might come good.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander collected 27 points and 10 assists to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 127-101 win over the visiting Brooklyn Nets on Sunday. The Thunder have won 20 of their past 23 games overall and 12 straight in Oklahoma City.

During his time suiting up for the Nets, Williams wore only jersey No. 7 and put up 4.5 points and 2.7 rebounds per game.

The Nets fell to 0-9 without Cam Johnson this season following Friday’s 102-101 road loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. When he isn’t in the lineup, it’s safe to say Brooklyn is cooked.

On Friday night, the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Brooklyn Nets by a score of 102-101. Austin Reaves led the team with 38 points in 37 minutes of playing time.

Kawhi Leonard scored 23 points, James Harden added 21 and the Los Angeles Clippers had the largest margin of victory in franchise history, routing the Brooklyn Nets 126-67 on Wednesday night.

For Lakers rookie Bronny James, the game was extra special as he got reunited with Nets forward Ziaire Williams, his former teammate at Sierra Canyon School in Los Angeles. After the matchup, James and Williams exchanged jerseys and posed for a picture. The Lakers guard posted it on his Instagram story.

Isaiah Collier drove for the go-ahead layup with 2 seconds left to lift the Utah Jazz to a 112-111 overtime victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday night.

Here are three Brooklyn Nets takeaways from Friday's 102-101 loss at the Los Angeles Lakers in D'Angelo Russell's return to Los Angeles.

Jalen Williams is questionable (right hip strain), joining Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who remains listed as questionable (right wrist sprain) ahead of tonight’s game versus Brooklyn.
