Shai Gilgeous-Alexander showed once again why he deserves to be right in the thick of the MVP conversation.
In the Oklahoma City Thunder’s 121-114 victory over Atlanta Monday night, Gilgeous-Alexander added former All-Stars Trae Young and Dejounte Murray to a stacked list of talented players he’s outplayed this season. SGA finished with 35 points on 10-22 shooting, going a perfect 15/15 from the free throw line. He sported a +12 +/- in 35 minutes played.
Gilgeous-Alexander’s streak of seven consecutive 30+ point performances ties Kevin Durant for the 4th longest streak in the history of the franchise.
