The Oklahoma City Thunder, the best NBA team, obtained 52 points from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the top scorer in the NBA on Wednesday. It was not enough to defeat a team that hovers just above 0,500.
The Golden State Warriors amazed the Thunder with a 116-109 victory, despite a huge night of Gilgeous-Alexander. The MVP candidate published his first 50 -point career match a week ago, then recorded his three second games later.
It was all Gilgeous-Aalexander early, because he personally preceded the Warriors 21-20 in the first quarter and entered half-time with 31, which makes him the fourth player in the history of the Thunder to publish 30 in First half since gaming data was first recorded.
He ended the evening with 16 of the 29 shots on the field and 18 out of 21 shots from the line of free throws, plus four assists and three rebounds.
The Warriors fell 34-20 after this first quarter and down 58-48 at halftime, but caught the Thunder at the start of the third quarter with a torrent to score. There have been several lead changes from there until the fourth quarter halfway, when the Warriors accumulated a advance with several scores and kept it.
Gary Payton II provided the exclamation mark, and perhaps the dagger.
Stephen Curry was a major factor in the turnaround, marking 17 of his 21 points in the second period. It was a question of knowing if he would even play before the match, when he sat the first match of the consecutive Warriors from Tuesday after fighting the knees and painful pain in his right thumb.
Andrew Wiggins led the Warriors by scoring with 27 points out of 10 shots out of 17, while the Warriors bench has outlined the Thunder’s Thunder. It was a rough shooting evening for the Thunder overall, finishing 9 out of 39 in the range of 3 points.
