OKC Thunder Backcourt Steals the Show in Win Over Golden State

Oklahoma City picked up a massive win Tuesday, going shot-for-shot with the NBA Champs. The Thunder outlasted the Warriors 137-128, enduring Steph Curry and Klay Thompson's combined 15 3-pointers.

The Thunder's play-in push has been heating up lately, and a Tuesday night win over the Warriors will certainly generate more attention. Oklahoma City has now won three straight games after losing five in a row, and the postseason seems attainable once again.

Here's who led the way in one of OKC's most impressive victories of the season:

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Gilgeous-Alexander has been battling through an injury but it hasn’t slowed him down one bit. The Thunder star looks every bit as dominant as he did before the All Star break.

Despite taking just four free throws on the evening, SGA dropped 33 points on 14-of-24 shooting and 2-of-5 from 3-point range. He added six assists and two steals to his impressive stat line. Gilgeous-Alexander’s schedule across the next few weeks could look a bit different due to to injury management, but when he’s on the floor, it’s always a great thing for the Thunder.

Josh Giddey

Over the last four games, Josh Giddey has played some of the best basketball of his career. The Thunder point guard looks comfortable in every aspect of the game, and Tuesday night was a prime example of his full arsenal.

Giddey totaled 17 points, 17 assists and 11 rebounds. He committed just three turnovers throughout the course of the game. It was one of the most complete games of Giddey’s career.

Jaylin Williams

Williams made up for the lack of his counterpart, JDub, on Tuesday night and helped the Thunder out in a big way. The Arkansas product added 15 points, six rebounds, two assists and took two charges in 27 minutes.

The big man shot an impressive 6-of-10 from the floor and drilled three triples. He continues to show flashes of production, and his presence on the court helped Oklahoma City seal the victory.
