Shai, Thunder feast on Wizards before Christmas break
PHOTO\u26a1THUNDERThe Oklahoma City Thunder (23-5) took too long to win their eighth straight against the Washington Wizards (4-23). Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had lackluster offensive help from his teammates, but scored 41 on 25 shots and turned the game from a comfortable 10-point margin at the end of three quarters to a 20+ point laugher five minutes into the fourth. We need a name for the "Shai scores, you don't" switch that the Thunder keep flipping.
