Shai’s Buzzer-Beater a Show
On Wednesday as New Orleans Pelicans guard Devonte’ Graham’s 61-foot prayer banked in off the glass and in, Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander doubled over in disbelief. He had just seen his own incredible 30-foot, game-tying 3-pointer with 1.7 seconds left thwarted in a most cruel and unlucky fashion.
Instead of stewing on it for three days and sulking over his misfortune, Gilgeous-Alexander and his Thunder teammates got back to work in a sharp, focused practice on Friday, held each other to their normal high standards and got themselves ready to finish out the homestand against the LA Clippers on Saturday.
