The Thunder beat the Celtics, 104–102, on Thursday night in a matchup of MVP candidates. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 35 points to go along with nine assists and six rebounds in the win, while Jaylen Brown had 34 points, seven assists and six rebounds in the loss.
As with most Oklahoma City wins, there was plenty of talk about free throws and foul calls after the game. Brown, coming off a game where he was ejected for arguing a call, took particular aim at foul-baiting.
