Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scores game-high 33 points
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shot 13-of-24 from the field and 6-of-6 from the foul line in Thursday’s 119-110 loss to the Mavericks, tallying 33 points, 12 rebounds, eight assists, one steal, two blocks, and one 3-pointer in 41 minutes.
Advice: Gilgeous-Alexander recorded a high-level stat line in Game 2, but the lack of offense from players other than him and Jalen Williams was too much to overcome. SGA, who finished second in the NBA MVP voting, has surpassed the 30-point mark twice in six games this postseason, with Thursday’s effort being his first since Game 2 of OKC’s first-round series against New Orleans. Gilgeous-Alexander will get his numbers, and he’s been efficient in this series’ first two games. How far the Thunder plays into the postseason will depend on how consistent his supporting cast is. Game 3 is on Saturday afternoon in Dallas.
