Gilgeous-Alexander, Thunder make another statement with blowout of Cavs in a matchup of NBA’s best

Associated Press  

OKLAHOMA CITY — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander made a loud statement in an MVP-worthy season with another 40-point performance Thursday night. They don’t average 30, but their part into our winning and our season is just as big, and I’m glad the world gets to see that.” The 6-foot-6 Gilgeous-Alexander had 40 points and eight assists in three quarters as the Western Conference-leading Thunder rolled past the East-leading Cavaliers 134-114. The runner-up for the NBA MVP award last season is averaging 31.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.0 assists for a Thunder team that tied Cleveland for the league’s best record at 34-6. “He carries the load when I’m out of the game, makes plays for him and the guys around him.” When Gilgeous-Alexander praised Williams’ defensive versatility, it turned into a playful disagreement about Williams’ height. “At 6-4, he’s able to guard all five positions on the basketball court,” Gilgeous-Alexander said as Williams tried to interject.
