— Sunday: Austrian Grand Prix, 71 laps of the 4.32-kilometer (2.68-mile) Red Bull Ring. It starts at 3 p.m. local time (9 a.m. ET / 1300 GMT).

Up in the mountains near the town of Spielberg, it's the home race for the Red Bull team, which competes under the Austrian flag and often ups its game at the Red Bull Ring. Max Verstappen is the most successful driver in the history of the Austrian Grand Prix, but George Russell won last year's race for Mercedes after Verstappen and Lando Norris collided while fighting for the lead.

Russell took the win ahead of Verstappen at the Canadian Grand Prix but all the focus was on the two McLarens colliding. Norris clipped Oscar Piastri while trying to pass his teammate and then hit the wall. Piastri recovered to finish fourth, extending his standings lead to 22 points over Norris, who failed to finish a race for the first time in almost a year.

Norris took pole position and said he felt back to his old self after some difficulties in qualifying this season. Charles Leclerc was second for Ferrari, while Piastri had to settle for third after having to abandon his final lap because of a yellow flag for Pierre Gasly spinning. Lewis Hamilton was fourth in a solid day for Ferrari, while Verstappen was only seventh after complaining his Red Bull lacked grip.

5 — Max Verstappen took pole position for the five previous races at the Austrian circuit, winning three of them. That includes one at the track in 2021 for the Styrian Grand Prix. He's won five times at the Red Bull Ring in all.

4 — Oscar Piastri's fourth-place finish in Canada ended a run of eight podium finishes in a row, underlining the consistency which has powered his title challenge.

155 — All but seven of Red Bull's 162 points this season have been earned by Verstappen. Teammate Yuki Tsunoda was out of the points in Canada for the third race in a row.

“I did what I planned to do. And when I plan to do something and it goes right, it normally goes very, very well.” — Lando Norris.

“I’m not planning on finishing third, that’s for sure.” — Oscar Piastri.

“I don’t think that it will be easy out there tomorrow but we will analyze everything post quali to give us the best chance in the race tomorrow.” — Max Verstappen.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 30 points and seven assists, and the Oklahoma City Thunder dominated the short-handed Golden State Warriors for a 131-94 win Friday night.

Stephen Curry sat out because of a left ankle sprain and backcourt mate Jimmy Butler became ill earlier in the day. Draymond Green rested, while Jonathan Kuminga missed the game with back soreness.

That left Steve Kerr's starting lineup as Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, Will Richard, Gui Santos and Quinten Post.

Kerr was optimistic Curry would play Saturday against the Jazz.

Gilgeous-Alexander shot 10 for 20 with three 3-pointers and converted all seven of his free throws for his seventh game in the last nine with 30 or more points — and now three straight. He had 38 points on 13-for-21 shooting with five 3-pointers in the last matchup against the Warriors.

Chet Holmgren contributed 15 points and a season-best 15 rebounds — two off his career high — as Oklahoma City (30-5) won a fourth straight following its first two-game skid of the season.

Richard had 13 points and five rebounds, Al Horford and Moody also scored 13 while Pat Spencer dished out 11 assists against the defending champion Thunder, who had lost their previous two road games but also won 124-112 at Golden State exactly a month earlier on Dec. 2.

Richard's 3-pointer with 7:19 left in the second quarter got Golden State within 38-36 before Oklahoma City answered with a 19-0 run to go ahead 64-45 at halftime.

The Warriors had won two straight, five of six and three in a row at home, where they are in a stretch with 10 of 11 at Chase Center.

Thunder: Visit Phoenix on Sunday.

Warriors: Host Utah on Saturday night to complete a back-to-back.
