Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leads OKC Thunder past the Warriors for an overtime win 138-136

For the third time in four games the young OKC Thunder team defeated the Golden State Warriors. This is with 2 games proceeding to overtime, one game being a two-point win for the Warriors and one blowout win for the Thunder. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander believes the Oklahoma City Thunder have made a statement with the way they've handled the Golden State Warriors this season. SGA is the leader of this young exciting Thunder team while averaging 30.1 PTS per game with 5.6 REB and 6.3 AST. He is making a strong case for being the best point guard in the NBA. With a game like he had tonight with 38 points on 50% shooting and 5 steals he should be. Jalen Williams scored 28 points and Chet Holmgren added 21 for the Thunder.


This trio is very dangerous and has caused all types of problems for this veteran Warriors team and the rest of the NBA. Gilgeous-Alexander said the win felt significant. He still sees the same Warriors that won NBA titles in the past. They remain an important measuring stick for a young Thunder team that sits in second place in the Western Conference standings.

Stephen Curry scored 10 of his 34 points in overtime, Klay Thompson scored 22 points and Draymond Green added 12 points and 13 assists for the Warriors before fouling out.

SGA made a statement about the Warriors saying "Obviously, that’s a dynasty that came in here today. It's just been multiple games like that this year. When we play the best of the best, we rise to the challenge.”
