| Team | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | Final |

The second quarter was the largest single-period swing. Washington scored only 17 points while Oklahoma City put up 32, creating a cushion the home team continued to expand. The CBS Sports game tracker provides the period scores and play-by-play.
Gilgeous-Alexander's 30 points led Oklahoma City. He shot 11-for-20 from the field, made three of five 3-point attempts and converted five of six free throws. His nine assists also showed how much of the offense ran through him, even though he played only about 29 minutes.
For Washington, Kyshawn George scored 14 points and added seven rebounds and six assists. Trae Young finished with four points on 1-for-6 shooting. The Wizards needed more scoring across the lineup to keep pace after halftime, especially with their outside shots failing to fall.
Isaiah Hartenstein collected 14 rebounds for Oklahoma City. The combination of Gilgeous-Alexander's scoring and playmaking and the Thunder's ability to limit Washington's shooting gave the home team multiple ways to build its lead.
The clearest difference was shooting efficiency. The Thunder made 45 of 92 field-goal attempts, or 48.9%, while the Wizards went 29-for-98. Washington attempted six more shots but made 16 fewer. That gap left the visitors chasing the game even before considering free throws and the value of 3-pointers.
Washington's 7-for-43 result from beyond the arc was approximately 16.3%. Misses from long range alone do not explain every possession, but they help explain why the Wizards could not turn their shot volume into points. Oklahoma City, meanwhile, had its highest-scoring quarter in the third, with 33 points, preventing a sustained comeback.
The numbers describe one game, not a guarantee of how either team will shoot next time. Washington can use the film to examine shot selection and the looks it allowed; Oklahoma City can study how it sustained defensive pressure while continuing to generate offense after building a substantial lead.
The teams met at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City on Saturday, November 7, 2026. Oklahoma City was on Central Standard Time, CST (UTC-06:00), that date. The final was reported on Sunday, November 8, UTC, which was also Sunday in Australia. The precise scheduled tipoff time could not be independently confirmed from the available official schedule display, so it is not listed here.
For Australian readers checking a score overnight, the date difference matters: this was the November 7 game in Oklahoma City, even though the result appeared on November 8 in Australia. It was an NBA regular-season game, and the result changed both teams' season records.
Oklahoma City's fourth straight win brought it to 8-2. Washington dropped to 4-6. Those records are early-season snapshots, but the result gives the Thunder another win while their defense delivered a particularly strong performance.
For Washington, the immediate task is to respond to a low-scoring loss and improve the quality and conversion of its chances. If the Wizards' shooting rebounds in their next game, the scale of this defeat will not necessarily carry over. For Oklahoma City, maintaining this level of defensive execution against different opponents would help sustain its run, though one result cannot establish that it will.
