Gilgeous-Alexander leads Thunder to dominant 129-92 rout of injury-plagued Raptors

In the long arc of a basketball season, some nights reveal not just a score but a gap in trajectory — and Thursday in Toronto was one of those nights. The Oklahoma City Thunder, led by Hamilton's own Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, visited Scotiabank Arena and left with a 37-point victory that spoke less to Toronto's failings than to Oklahoma City's quiet, methodical excellence. A Raptors team already navigating injury and inconsistency found itself facing a opponent operating at a different altitude, a reminder that the NBA's standings are rarely accidental.
