Clippers thanks to a buzzer-beater by OKC Thunder max contract point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who puts up 18 points and a step-back three game-winner against his former team.

Josh Giddey showed another new flash of greatness for the OKC Thunder, what has Giddey added to his game now? The Thunder let Josh Giddey run more point guard, and it was a great mix this game. Is Giddey's spot-up shooting legit? Would you lock Giddey into a career 33-percent shooter if you could from three? Shai Gilgeous-Alexander showed why Oklahoma City and Sam Presti gave him a max in the third quarter, he made a strange championship comment that should make OKC fans feel great, and eventually, teams will not keep doubling Shai! SGA has officially added something to his bag. Aleksej Pokusevski had one of the best stretches of his career...but then did not play in the second half against the Clippers. Was this the right call by Mark Daigneault? Poku did not have a poku play this game which was a good thing! Derrick Favors had a breakout performance did Mark Daigneault find the formula for the veteran? Who did not play tonight for the Thunder, is that telling for how the Oklahoma City Thunder organization values each player? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
