The halftime buzzer sounded with the Thunder ahead by 27. The game, if you could call it that, was over against the New Zealand Breakers, except Shai Gilgeous-Alexander wasn’t content.
Steven Adams and Chris Paul were hanging around halfcourt chatting casually, but Gilgeous-Alexander was lobbying to an official about what he thought was a missed foul call the previous possession. "He hit my arm," Gilgeous-Alexander said. His temperature never reached a boiling point, but it was clear the 21-year-old was frustrated after a 1-of-5 first half.
"I didn’t like the way I started," Gilgeous-Alexander said after the Thunder’s 110-84 preseason win.
