Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had no time to mourn the Thunder’s NBA Cup loss to Milwaukee, thrust to Orlando for the first night of a back-to-back.

The Canadian guard is averaging 31.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 2.0 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game. That phenomenal play, coupled with the team success of the Thunder, catapulted Gilgeous-Alexander to the top of the KIA NBA MVP Ladder this week.

Dort: 22–2-2 (6-9 from 3) – Dub: 19-6-5 – Carlson: 11 and 4 rebounds (3-6 from 3) – Joe: 12 (4-7 from 3) OKC won points off turnovers 30-7. Thunder led by as many as 42.

The Oklahoma City Thunder took down the Cavaliers by a commanding score of 134-114. With no Chet Holmgren or Isaiah Hartenstein available for the game, Jaylin Williams got the start at the five spot. However, it was the other Jalen Williams leaving his fingerprints all over this game.
