Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander likely just won back-to-back NBA MVPs.
On Monday night, the reigning champion Thunder hosted the Denver Nuggets for the second time in 11 days. Oklahoma City defeated Denver 127-121 in overtime on Feb. 27, and Gilgeous-Alexander, the reigning NBA Finals MVP, is the only reason they didn’t go to overtime again.
With five seconds left in regulation, Gilgeous-Alexander pulled up from three and drained the game-winning dagger.
After the game, Gilgeous-Alexander told reporters he’d rank this performance among the best regular-season performances in his eight-year NBA career.
