Loud as Thunder: 15 straight wins

MANILA, Philippines — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 33 points and the Oklahoma City Thunder clamped down defensively in the second half to beat the NBA champion Boston Celtics 105-92 on Sunday for a franchise record 15th straight win.

For the fourth straight game, the Western Conference-leading Thunder won after trailing by at least a dozen points.

Thunder forward Luguentz Dort scored 11 of his 14 points in the fourth quarter, drilling back-to-back three-pointers to put Oklahoma City up 100-88 with 1:59 remaining.

Dort drained another from beyond the arc to cap the scoring in the final minute.

In a game tipped as a potential NBA Finals preview, the Thunder held the Celtics to just 27 points in the second half, snapping Boston’s winning streak at three games.
