Oklahoma City outlasts 76ers 127-119 in overtime

The Thunder outscored Philadelphia 20-12 in overtime, hitting 5-of-7 from the field and a perfect 8-for-8 from the free-throw line.

Like many of their games so far this season, the Thunder were in it at the end.

Unlike most of those games, however, on Friday night Oklahoma City outlasted the 76ers 127-119 in overtime to get the win.

The bulk of the scoring came from the starting rotation, led by Danilo Gallinari with a team-high 28.

Three other players were in double-digits: Chris Paul with 27, Shai-Gilgeous Alexander with 24, and Terrance Ferguson, who returned to the starting lineup Friday, adding 19.

Gallinari had a chance to win it at the end of regulation, but his jumper from the top of the key was off the mark. He made up for it by scoring seven of the Thunder’s 20 points in overtime.

Oklahoma City hit five of their seven shots in OT and were a perfect 8-of-8 from the charity stripe.

For the game, OKC shot 53.9% from the field and outscored the 76ers 35 to 15 at the free-throw line.
