Oklahoma City Thunder maintained their strong form in the Eastern Conference with a 135-119 win over the Atlanta Hawks on February 28, 2025. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 31 points, continuing his impressive season and helping his team extend their dominance against Eastern teams. Gilgeous-Alexander set the tone early, consistently breaking through the Hawks’ defense. Key contributions also came from Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren, and Luguentz Dort, who provided support on both ends of the floor. Isaiah Hartenstein was effective on the boards, strengthening Oklahoma City’s defensive efforts. The Hawks struggled to keep pace, despite efforts from Trae Young and Clint Capela.
