Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has once again led the way for the Thunder in Game 2 as he currently has 33 points, three rebounds and six assists.
In Game 1, Shai took over in the second half to help secure the victory and the NBA MVP has done the same on Thursday night as it seems as though the Thunder are heading towards another victory.
With his performance on Thursday night in Game 2 against the Timberwolves, Shai also made Thunder playoff history.
Thursday’s game marked his fifth consecutive game scoring 30 or more points which is the most in Thunder history during the playoffs.
Shai also became just the fourth player in Thunder playoff history to record multiple playoff games of 30 or more points, five or more assists and three or more steals.
This is just another historic feat from Shai, which he has had a ton of this season as he not only won the MVP award but also led the Thunder to the top record in the NBA.
Of course, it has not only been Shai that has produced for the Thunder thus far in the series as Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren have also played well for the Thunder, along with the rest of their rotation.
