OKLAHOMA CITY — After Nikola Jokic sagged off him from the perimeter, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was more than happy to oblige. The pull-up 3-pointer swished in and served as the dagger. The MVP finalist could finally let out a sigh of relief as he saw one from deep finally drop in.
The Oklahoma City Thunder did enough to survive another thriller against the Denver Nuggets. A 112-105 Game 5 put them in the driver's seat in their Round 2 playoff series with a 3-2 lead.
We're watching the Thunder grow up in front of our eyes.
