Oklahoma City Thunder cruised past Minnesota Timberwolves once again taking a 2-0 lead in Western Conference Finals.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the top scorer with 38 points, also dishing out 8 assists and 3 rebounds during the game.

First time NBA MVP is approaching even more history after his performance, closing in on a record of his franchise.

This was 9th occasion in this postseason where Gilgeous-Alexander dropped more than 30 points in a game, tying the second place in Thunder's history for such performances in a single postseason.

Kevin Durant also did that in 2009, whilst he also holds a record as the only Thunder player to have double digit games with 30+ points in a single postseason in 2014.
