“There’s no 26-point shot,” said Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but as his pump-fake, step-through, banked-in heave beat the third quarter buzzer and sent the Paycom Center crowd into a frenzy, it sure felt like more than the three points that flashed on the scoreboard.
The Gilgeous-Alexander 3 capped a 20-6 third quarter run that was a continuation of a possession-by-possession mentality the Thunder displayed as it stormed back from 26 down in the second quarter against a vaunted Los Angeles Lakers squad for a 123-115 win to end the homestand.
