Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is inevitable, and it's why Thunder nears playoff sweep of Suns
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a playoff career-high 42 points, leading the Thunder to a 3-0 series lead over the Suns.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander , after big-boying Devin Booker for a layup, bowed his arms and barked at his bench. “I don’t need it!!! ” SGA appeared to yell.
As in, he didn’t need the foul he thought he had drawn. Two points would do. You know what else Gilgeous-Alexander didn’t need Saturday in the Thunder’s 121-109 Game 3 win against the Suns?
He didn’t need Jalen Williams , who was sidelined with a strained hamstring. He didn’t need a ton of help from his teammates, who shot a combined 41% to his 83%. He didn’t need to score 42 points, a playoff career-high, but he did anyway.
That’s the inevitability of SGA. He does, because he can. REPORT CARD: Ajay Mitchell delivers for injured Jalen Williams as Thunder shuts down Suns in Game 3 He’s going to get to his spots.
