Thunder have won all five games this term and lead the way in the Western Conference after beating Sacramento Kings 107-101 at Paycom Center in Oklahoma.

Gilgeous-Alexander, last season's Most Valuable Player, is the league's joint leading scorer this campaign with 143 points.

Oklahoma trailed by three points going into the fourth quarter but took the lead with two minutes 33 seconds remaining before holding on for victory.

They host Washington Wizards on Friday, while Kings travel to the Chicago Bulls on Thursday.

Giannis Antetokounmpo maintained his strong start to the season as Milwaukee Bucks overturned a 14-point deficit to beat New York Knicks 121-111 at Fiserv Forum.

Antetokounmpo scored 23 of his game-high 37 points in the second half to spark the comeback and guide the Bucks to their third win of the season.

Milwaukee were without Kevin Porter Jr for a third successive game and coach Doc Rivers said he is "going to be out a bit".
