Aaron Wiggins scored 23 points off the bench, Jalen Williams added 17, Cason Wallace had 14 and Luguentz Dort chipped in 11 for Oklahoma City, which led by as many as 44 and won its second straight since having its 15-game winning streak snapped.

Oklahoma City led 104-69 at the end of the third period and rested most of its starters in the fourth quarter.

Isaiah Hartenstein added 10 points and 12 rebounds and Kenrich Williams scored 10 for the Western Conference-leading Thunder, who held Washington to 33.7 percent shooting from the field and 19.6 percent (9 of 46) shooting from 3-point range.

Corey Kispert led Washington with 17 points off the bench, while Jordan Poole scored 13 points but committed six of the Wizards’ 18 turnovers. Jonas Valanciunas added 11 points and eight rebounds, and Alex Sarr and Bilal Coulibaly had 10 points apiece.

Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma, who entered the game averaging 14.6 points, finished with six points on 2-of-12 shooting, including 0-of-6 from 3-point range.

Washington took its only lead of the game at 22-21 before Oklahoma City closed the first quarter on a 16-3 run to move ahead 37-25.

The Thunder gained control in the second quarter, moving ahead 51-31 with 8:04 left in the period and extending their lead to 67-43 at the half.
