OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER NEWS

Double-double in loss Bazley amassed 29 points (11-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes during Sunday's 125-118 loss to Memphis.

Impact Bazley notched his first double-double since Feb. 25 and was one of the best players for the Thunder in this loss. He's not expected to clear the 25-point mark on a regular basis, as this was the first time he reached the 15-point mark since the league resumed following the All-Star break.

Impact Gilgeous-Alexander bounced back from his awful eight-point showing against the Timberwolves on Saturday despite OKC's loss.
