Big thing here is where the thunder catch this.
Shea gets it, spins away, baseline shot.
Shea puts it.
But it's already been a strong quarter.
And about scored the Nuggets by 17.
Shea dismisses Dave Auderey, puts him on the deck,
puts it in.
Giddey gives it to Shea Gildress Alexander.
His step back three.
Oh, he hits.
Shea Gildress Alexander.
Good rotation on that outside.
Turned by Isaiah Joe.
Man, can you talk about a guy who can score the basketball?
That's a professional score there, folks.
Living in the paint and being aggressive.
Boy, what interior defense.
Gordon turned back.
In these last two possessions, you
see the Thunder responding after that time out
with stellar defense.
They play hard, they play the right way,
and they compete, which is OKC Thunder basketball.
Skyler misses.
Baisley unable to put home the put back.
And then it's Gildress Alexander dropping a hammer.
Checked up by Matthews.
Wants the step back three on the way.
So neat when we say it is that Trae
get a chance to be able to go uncontested down
for that runner.
How important is it for him to be able to have,
oh, you see a nice little move by Shea for the spin and the dunk.
Nuggets one stop here.
Giddey trying to find somebody.
Inside, off the glass.
Good shot, say Gildress Alexander.
First missed three of the game for Terrence.
Gildress Alexander gets to his spot and puts another one in.
Gildress Alexander, amped in the defender.
Run around, fade away jumper, a rainmaker
by Shea Gildress Alexander.
Denny Abdiah in the game now for Washington.
They're trying to turn off OKC's water as Gildress Alexander
blocks Rui's shot.
As GA Euro step off glass, he scores.
No open looks or any key pockets for Washington.
She's already got a block.
Shea is going to have an open lane here in the easy swing.
Of course, Washington pitches some tough shots like that.
That was an impossible shot for Kuzma.
That's been a common theme.
And Shea is going to go right by the defense.
20 point mark.
The defender shot it so well.
Now Shea goes inside, just knifing his way
right through the Washington defense for the reverse.
But he's really had to work for both of them.
Oh, and Shea slipped right by Abdiah.
Boy, so much wiggle.
Machamaru's got seven.
Shea, once again, slams on the brakes and fades away.
Fourth quarter, and there's another miscue by the Wizards.
Would have been a 24 second violation, but it's advantage.
Here is Shea, long strides, right to the top right center.
From right.
Joe wanted to give it back to Muscala.
A little mismatch.
Shea trying to create right down the middle.
A little scoop left, and he's got it.
All right, thank you, Paris.
So third quarter we go here at Paycom Center.
Final home game before the Thunder
get a head on the road.
And Shea gets right to it from the baseline.
That high arcing shot that he has perfected
at ThunderNBA.com.
Shea tried to bait the whistle, hung in the air,
wanted to get it, didn't get it, but still made the shot.
Stray man will let Shea operate.
Goes right by Hardaway Jr. on balance.
Somehow flung it up, and it goes in, plus the foul.
Shea, he's got seven in a row.
Going to work on Bullock, good defensive player.
Bullock pressuring him outside.
Shea gets to his spot, leans in for it,
and he's going to get the bounce to close out the quarter.
And then Jimmy Butler takes it right back
and creates a three.
Gilgis Alexander lays it in,
and there is the drive he was looking for.
Not just showing off his three-point shooting,
but attacking the inside and the interior of OKC.
Well, and that's something that Eric Spolster
talked to us about before the game.
Shot clock down to six.
Now Gilgis Alexander,
part of Viola Depot's bright women.
Oh, a tough shot.
And Shea Gilgis Alexander, that's a big-time score.
Our high smith in Orlando Robinson,
so not a ton of choices for Eric Spolster.
Oh, Shea Gilgis Alexander gives the Thunder the lead.
Short, defending, Harden.
Has Harden on the step back, a little short of a three.
And Shea using his speed, blitzes right to the cop.
Nice finger roll.
And I believe he might have just moved past our Joe Ellen
and the all-star voting today.
So, Sixers fans, Shea gets loose on the baseline.
You've got one eye looking ahead
instead of the task at hand.
And sometimes games like this happen.
Oh, Gilgis Alexander, up and in, 27 and counting for SGA.
The Levine, top shot three.
Oh, it ripped every part of the iron and tipped out.
Oh, SGA, ball behind the chair.
Against the undersized Thunder lineup
with Kenrich Williams playing the five.
Even with Turner, who is a traditional five,
as Shea on the spin, pulls up, got it right over Nembhar.
Giddey wanted to send it down to Lou Dorton.
Now Shea has the step, drives inside,
and Indiana just cannot slow him down.
There's another deuce for SGA
and another trip right back to the line.
And Giddey fighting amongst a tall timber inside.
How did he come up with it?
There he goes.
Back to Shea.
That's just good defense, better offense.
Shea steps back.
How about SGA?
Got it up over Nagy.
Keeps the possession alive.
Good job on that glass.
We talked about that battling on the glass.
That was a tough shot, and he got the contact again.
Only has six.
That's Gordon.
Shea, once again, slices right to the cup.
Excellent move.
Trying to use all of his skill there.
Gordon.
Shea, what a shot!
Got it up over Gordon,
and you can see the exasperation from Gordon
because Shea just beat him.
At over 11 rebounds per game,
and the Hawks really suffered
when he missed a bunch of time with a calf injury.
Shea takes a little contact on the arm,
and he will go to the line.
It was a thunder victory.
Here's Giddey again as they put him in the post.
Oh, Shea had the seal on Dejounte Murray,
and Giddey puts a little flare on the behind the back pad.
Excuse me, partner.
55.
Shea, once again, sees a crease right at Dejounte Murray,
a good defensive player,
and Shea gets the best of him.
Shea, once again, on the screen for Moustala.
Attacks in.
He's gonna get himself another and one.
That's a third one.
The Rockets have five free-throw attempts already.
Shea, oh, the long stride,
and then he leans in at the scoop.
Patience there on offense by JC,
but what OKC wants to do is to get you
in their pace of game, right?
They don't have the break.
They don't worry about it.
Patience.
He's come back in here in the second.
That's Shea.
A little ball fake.
They had one and up and under.
It's so hard to stop.
Now that prompts Golden State to call a timeout.
Think about the Warriors.
26 and 37 on twos.
There's Gilgis Alexander right to the rim.
And they just gave up a huge lead in Philadelphia.
They're watching right now.
They lost by one.
I see it on the case.
With Jake Gilgis Alexander, the timeout for Willie Green.
Near each other in certain ways.
Very similar teams, Matt,
especially this team and the last year team
with the Raptors.
As you see, Shea.
Hurdle, successful trip to the free throw line.
Here's Shea.
Gets into the lane.
Right to the iron with a two-handed slam.
Bench player for Golden State a season ago.
Shea trying to back him down.
Now slips inside.
Nice move on the spin.
And the finish.
Love to play in that mid-range.
Hey, SGA's with another guy.
Chris Ball, how about this pass?
Come on, man.
Boy, Josh Giddey just put it on a platter.
Gives it right back to SGA.
Lou Dohrt is going to be tough to shake.
Gilgis Alexander, ending it up and in.
He is something else.
Fourth-leading scorer in the NBA.
Well, what that's doing is making a defense play.
I'm honest.
How about this play?
Come on, man.
What happened to the defense on that play?
That's going to force head coach Will Hardy
to call timeout because Shea.
SGA goes back to work against OJ.
76-74, drives inside, up and around.
He's just too good.
Two and a half to play in the third.
That's what he does to you.
It's just amazing through traffic.
Going right at Dohrt.
Looks like he got caught underneath.
There's a hard turnover, a Sixers turnover.
Shea on Maxey.
Oh, a little sidestep.
SGA.
