Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished Monday’s Game 5 win over the Pacers with 31 points (9-of-21 FGs, 13-of-14 FTs), two rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and four blocked shots.
While the field goal percentage may not have been great, Gilgeous-Alexander was highly impactful in Monday’s victory. The four blocked shots were one shy of his playoff career-high, and he also hit double digits in assists for the first time since Game 4 of the conference finals. Gilgeous-Alexander recorded his 15th 30-point game of these playoffs, the most in a single postseason since Kobe Bryant in 2009 (15). While the Pacers have done all they can to limit Gilgeous-Alexander, and they’ve had some success, the NBA’s Most Valuable Player still feels inevitable. He and the Thunder will look to win their first NBA title on Thursday night.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shot 12-of-24 from the field and 10-of-10 from the foul line in Friday’s Game 4 win over the Pacers, scoring 35 points with three rebounds, three steals, one block and one three-pointer.
With his team staring at a 3-1 deficit, the NBA’s Most Valuable Player stepped up when the Thunder needed him most. Gilgeous-Alexander scored 15 points in the final 4:36 of Game 4, including a step-back jumper with 2:23 remaining that gave Oklahoma City the lead for good. He was perfect from the foul line and shot 50 percent from the field to lead the Thunder to a win that returned home-court advantage to the Western Conference champions. However, SGA did not record an assist, the first time he’s done so in these playoffs. Oklahoma City tried to play him off the ball more, but that approach tended to slow the team down more than they hoped. That changed in crunch time, and Gilgeous-Alexander did what he’s expected to do. Game 5 is on Monday night.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 24 points (9-of-20 FGs), eight rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one three-pointer against the Pacers in Game 3 on Wednesday.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander recorded 34 points (11-of-21 FGs, 11-of-12 FTs), five rebounds, eight assists, four steals, one block and one three-pointer in Sunday’s Game 2 win over the Pacers.
While Gilgeous-Alexander did score 38 points in Oklahoma City’s Game 1 defeat, he shot below 50 percent from the field. The NBA’s Most Valuable Player was more forceful in Game 2, and the approach led to SGA attempting 12 free throws while also shooting over 50 percent from the field. And Gilgeous-Alexander made some history during the victory, becoming the 12th player in league history to score at least 3,000 points in a season (regular season and playoffs). Putting up high point totals should not be an issue in this series, even with the Pacers’ ability to use multiple defenders on SGA. The key will be how he gets those points, and how often the Thunder point guard can get to the foul line. Game 3 is on Wednesday in Indianapolis.
