Jaylin Williams' triple-double helps short-handed Thunder cruise past 76ers 133-100

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Jaylin Williams scored a career-high 19 points and had 17 rebounds and 11 assists for his second career triple-double, and the Oklahoma City Thunder cruised past the injury-depleted Philadelphia 76ers 133-100 on Wednesday night with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and three other starters sidelined.

Gilgeous-Alexander, the NBA's top scorer at 33.0 points per game and a leading MVP candidate, sat out for rest, while Lu Dort, Isaiah Hartenstein and Jalen Williams got the night off because of injuries.

Aaron Wiggins scored 26 points for the Western Conference-leading Thunder, who clinched the Northwest Division title and moved closer to wrapping up the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.

Isaiah Joe added 21 points and Chet Holmgren scored 19 for Oklahoma City, which led 70-56 at halftime and 103-74 after three quarters.

Quentin Grimes scored 28 points and Justin Edwards added 19 for Philadelphia, which was without injured starters Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr., Joel Embiid and Paul George. Embiid and George are out for the rest of the season.

The teams combined to shoot 109 3-pointers. Philadelphia set a franchise record with 57 attempts.

76ers: Coach Nick Nurse's patchwork lineup kept the game competitive in the first half, but could not match Oklahoma City's depth after halftime.

Thunder: With reserves getting more playing time, seven players scored in double figures, including Branden Carlson (16), Kenrich Williams (13) and Dillon Jones (11).

Oklahoma City went on a 33-14 run to stretch its lead to 29 points by the end of the third quarter.

Oklahoma City made 24 of 56 3-point attempts (46.2%). Philadelphia was 18 of 57 (31.6%).

The 76ers visit San Antonio on Friday, and the Thunder host Charlotte on Friday.

A Ukrainian drone strike killed one person and wounded three others in the Russian city of Voronezh, local officials said Sunday.

A young woman died overnight in a hospital intensive care unit after debris from a drone fell on a house during the attack on Saturday, regional Gov. Alexander Gusev said on Telegram.

Three other people were wounded and more than 10 apartment buildings, private houses and a high school were damaged, he said, adding that air defenses shot down 17 drones over Voronezh. The city is home to just over 1 million people and lies some 250 kilometers (155 miles) from the Ukrainian border.

The attack came the day after Russia bombarded Ukraine with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles overnight into Friday, killing at least four people in the capital Kyiv, according to Ukrainian officials.

For only the second time in the nearly four-year war, Russia used a powerful new hypersonic missile that struck western Ukraine in a clear warning to Kyiv and NATO.

The intense barrage and the launch of the nuclear-capable Oreshnik missile followed reports of major progress in talks between Ukraine and its allies on how to defend the country from further aggression by Moscow if a U.S.-led peace deal is struck.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday in his nightly address that Ukrainian negotiators “continue to communicate with the American side.”

Chief negotiator Rustem Umerov was in contact with U.S. partners Saturday, he said.

Separately, Ukraine’s General Staff said Russia targeted Ukraine with 154 drones overnight into Sunday and 125 were shot down.
