NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander exploded for 40 points, nearly double the total posted by Julius Randle and Anthony Edwards combined, as the Oklahoma City Thunder emerged from Game 4 with a two-point victory Monday night. That included a 12-for-14 performance for the free throw line, a place where SGA spends a lot of time and has triggered a derisive chant from Timberwolves fans.
Asked after the game about the serenade and narrative that he is a free throw merchant, Gilgeous-Alexander was entirely unbothered.
