Shai Gilgeous-Alexander perched over the Oklahoma City Thunder’s center-court logo as he discontentedly shook his head back-and-forth while draping his hands over his knees.
With 2.7 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter against the Chicago Bulls, Oklahoma City’s point guard appeared as if he was about to glide to the rim for a contested layup. Instead, Gilgeous-Alexander stunned his defender with a dribble move and launched his patented step-back three-pointer from the right elbow for a game-tying jumper.
Nervously awaiting the result of his shot, Gilgeous-Alexander jumped up-and-down before watching the ball ricochet off the back of the rim and into the hands of the Chicago Bulls.
