Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has done nothing but prove why he’s both the reigning MVP and Finals MVP to start off the season for the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder.
Arguably the most unstoppable perimeter player in the league today, Gilgeous-Alexander demonstrated his dominance once again in the NBA Finals rematch against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday night. The Thunder secured a thrilling double-overtime victory, 141-135, with Gilgeous-Alexander leading the charge.
Opposing defenses have long struggled to contain him, but it seems that winning a title and collecting numerous individual accolades has unlocked an even higher level of play for Gilgeous-Alexander.
In the game against the Pacers, he delivered a career-high scoring performance with 55 points. He achieved this on an impressive 15-of-31 shooting from the field and an exceptional 23-of-26 from the free-throw line, leaving Indiana’s defense helpless at every turn.
This performance further cements Gilgeous-Alexander’s status as one of the most lethal offensive threats in the NBA today.
