The Oklahoma City Thunder delivered a crucial victory in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander played a pivotal role in securing the win, scoring 30 points with nine assists. His performance was essential after the San Antonio Spurs and Victor Wembanyama claimed the first game of the series.
With the series now tied, the focus shifts to Texas, where the next game will take place in the seven-game series. Gilgeous-Alexander’s effort was commendable, but it was his postgame interview that caught the attention of many.
During the postseason interview, when asked about Isaiah Hartenstein’s defensive work against Wembanyama, Gilgeous-Alexander offered a surprising response. Despite Hartenstein’s strong defense, he initially expressed doubt about its effectiveness.
“I’m not sure if it was good, to be honest,” he stated during a live broadcast.
This comment led to speculations about his intent as the internet reacted to the unexpected answer. Clarifying later in a press conference, Gilgeous-Alexander mentioned he hadn’t fully heard the question. Upon understanding, he amended his response.
The Thunder, led by Gilgeous-Alexander, will continue to strategize on slowing down Wembanyama as they head to Game 3 at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio.
