How Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Silenced the Doubters and Sealed His MVP Destiny in Thunder’s Game 2 Triumph
Coming off a grueling seven-game series against the Denver Nuggets, the Thunder were playing the well-rested Minnesota Timberwolves, who had dropped only two games through the first two rounds of the playoffs.
The Thunder were the best team in the regular season but looked vulnerable at times to the Nuggets. They had to prove they should be seen as heavy championship favorites, as TRACR has suggested all playoffs, and did just that with a 114-88 victory in Game 1.
Game 2 was a coronation. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was announced as NBA MVP on Wednesday and honored prior to the game Thursday night. The 6-foot-6 point guard showed exactly why he won the award with a classic SGA performance, scoring 38 points and shooting 57.1% from the field to lead the Thunder to a 118-103 victory.
