Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had his first “playoff moment.”
With the Oklahoma City Thunder up against it, trailing by double digits in the second half of a must-win game against the Dallas Mavericks, down 2-1 in the series, SGA answered with a handful of key plays in the fourth quarter, including four straight buckets in two minutes to lift the Thunder over the Mavs and even the series.
Now that the series is tied 2-2 after four games, the Thunder head back to Oklahoma City with home-court advantage back in hand and buzz about the MVP runner-up rising to the occasion.
