Summary
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander carried the Oklahoma City Thunder through a brutal Game Seven loss, MVP-level play masking the team’s lack of support—especially from Chet Holmgren. GM Sam Presti laid it out: Shai’s battling not just five opponents on the court, but the sixth—social media, which amplified criticism over his fouling. Despite the noise, Shai stepped up when it mattered most, carrying the team without Jalen Williams or Ajay Mitchell. No blockbuster trades expected, but Presti’s offseason tweaks could be key to staying competitive against teams like the Spurs.
