Interesting statements by Oklahoma's best player after the victory!
According to all announcements and information, the new NBA MVP will be Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The Oklahoma ace who is currently fighting a big battle against Nikola Jokić and Denver. Shai is currently one step away from reaching the finals of the West because his team leads 3:2 in the series, and after the match he talked about the main competitor for the prestigious award - Nikola Jokić!
"First of all, he is very smart, I think that gives him an advantage. He always directs the game, always thinks a few steps ahead, reads different types of defenses, reads the opponent's attacks. His intelligence on the field is very high and he always uses it in the right way", said the Canadian at the press conference.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on Nikola Jokić
He was asked right after the game how his team managed to survive even 44 points from Nikola Jokić.
"This is a team sport. No one can do it alone, I need Cet, and he needs me, Williams... It is clear that Jokić is very talented, but the most important thing for us is victory, we achieved it today".
On several occasions in the second half, the Thunder came back from behind. The most was - 12.
"We were aggressive, we believed in passing, we believed in each other. The game is full of series on both sides - you hit, then you miss, but we remained consistent with our principles. Two games in a row we were pushed against the wall and we managed to win".
The big difference between Oklahoma and Denver is reflected in a significantly wider rotation of the Thunder.
"We're fresh because of that, we can play fast because of that. It makes us stronger as a team. You're only as good as your weakest link, and our ten players are ready no matter what. You see that in every game," concluded Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
