Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander Scores 30 as Thunder Win Game 2
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 30 points and handed out nine assists as the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the San Antonio Spurs 122-113 in Game 2, evening the Western Conference finals at 1-1. Oklahoma City piled up 34 assists and 14 steals, while Alex Caruso added 17 points and three three-pointers. Gilgeous-Alexander finished with four rebounds, two blocks and a single turnover despite going 1-for-7 in the fourth quarter. The series now shifts to San Antonio for Game 3, and OKC's ball movement and depth give them a clear path to win on the road.
The (omg everyone is injured) triple take: Thunder 122, Spurs 113 1. This series is a battle of attrition already, and it's only Game 2 2. Spurs are producing more turnovers than the Pillsbury factory 3. Alex Caruso's Steph Curry impression remains baffling www.expressnews.com/sports/spurs...
4. Hartenstein got away with crazy fouls on Wemby. Should have fouled out. 5. Castle has to stop turning the ball over 6. Stop leaving Caruso open from the 3-pt line
Spurs need to deploy their Plumlee missile and broadside SGA a couple of times. That'll rachet up the refereeing and they'll start calling fouls on Hartenstein to keep the peace.
Do y'all cover the OKC Locker Room postgame, too? Because I'd love someone to ask Hartenstein about the thousands of kids around the world who will have his poster on their walls. 🤣😂
