Jalen Williams scored 23 points to help the Oklahoma City Thunder remain undefeated with a 102-86 victory over the Orlando Magic on Monday in Oklahoma City.

The Thunder improved to 7-0, extending their best start since moving to Oklahoma City in 2008. Cleveland (8-0) is the only other current undefeated team. The Thunder’s seven wins averaged 17.4 points, with none coming closer than 12 points.

The Magic have lost four straight games and five of their last six.

Oklahoma City led wire-to-wire and Orlando never got closer than 10 points after the first quarter. The Magic kept the game within reach in the second half, scoring seven straight points to pull within 64-53 midway through the third quarter.

The Thunder quickly regained control and closed the third with a 20-5 run for all, but put the game away. That stretch included three straight 3-pointers from Isaiah Joe – all assisted by Alex Caruso – in the span of 1:04, making the score 82-58 at the 1:15 mark.

Oklahoma City got off to a fast start, scoring on the game’s opening possession and steadily building its lead throughout the first play.

Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander didn’t attempt a shot until nearly nine minutes into the game, but still made an early impression with seven assists in the first quarter, a career-high for a quarter.

Gilgeous-Alexander’s assists in the first quarter went to six different players, leading to four three-pointers. Williams scored off two assists from Gilgeous-Alexander and had 14 points in the 39-point first quarter in Oklahoma City.

The Thunder only scored 19 points in the second quarter, but Orlando couldn’t take the lead, scoring just 17 points.

Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 21 points and nine assists, while Chet Holmgren added 14 points and nine rebounds.

Franz Wagner had 22 points ahead of Orlando, while Jalen Suggs added 19.

The Magic shot just 35.4 percent from the floor, their second straight sub-40 percent shooting performance. Orlando was just 5 of 34 (14.7 percent) from beyond the arc.

Goga Bitadze, who missed the last five games with a left foot injury, returned to the starting lineup for the Magic and combined 11 points with nine rebounds in 27 minutes of action. Wendell Carter missed the game for Orlando after suffering a left foot strain in Sunday’s loss to Dallas.
