Shai's 52 not enough in Thunder loss to Warriors
GSW 116 OKC 109
Shai was legendary, but the Thunder (37-9) were not in a road loss to the Warriors (24-23).
Bob Myers: "[Shai Gilgeous-Alexander] He may be the hardest guy to guard in the NBA."

Alex Caruso came up hobbling after that last play. Walked gingerly toward the bench. pic.twitter.com/SdC3uoTqH2

Makes it hard to believe this is a tie game heading into the final frame.
The rumors of Isaiah Joe's 3 point shot demise were greatly exaggerated.
