Aaron Wiggins recorded a career-high 41 points and 14 rebounds to lift the host Oklahoma City Thunder to a 144-110 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Saturday.

Wiggins' previous career highs were 28 points as a rookie in 2021-22 and 10 rebounds the following season.

Wiggins was in the starting lineup as a replacement of All-Star Jalen Williams, who was out with a right wrist sprain.

The Thunder have won four of their last six games, while the loss was the fourth in five games for the Kings.

Oklahoma City's 144 points were its most this season and the most allowed by Sacramento.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 29 points and nine assists before sitting the entire fourth quarter with Oklahoma City having the game well in hand.

By then, the game was all about Wiggins, who scored 14 points in the fourth quarter.

In Wednesday's loss to Golden State, the Thunder were just 9 of 39 on 3-pointers.

Against Sacramento, they hit eight during a 46-point second quarter. Oklahoma City built its lead to as much as 29 before halftime.

The Thunder led by just five to start the second but ripped off a 29-9 run that ate up much of the latter half of the quarter to take control.

Oklahoma City's 82 first-half points were its most in a half this season. The total was one shy of the most the Thunder have scored in a half since moving to Oklahoma City.

The Thunder finished with 19 3-pointers -- six each from Wiggins and Luguentz Dort, who finished with 20 points.

Isaiah Hartenstein (16 points, 14 rebounds) and Kenrich Williams (18, 11) joined Wiggins with double-doubles.

Oklahoma City had 37 assists on 57 field goals, one off their season high in assists.

De'Aaron Fox led Sacramento with 20 points.

The Thunder, who already were without both Williams and Alex Caruso (ankle), were hit with another injury when Cason Wallace suffered a right shoulder strain late in the first quarter and didn't return.
