Thunder big man Chet Holmgren is just like every NBA fan watching Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
put on a show during the fourth quarter of the Oklahoma City Thunder's 100-96 win over the Dallas Mavericks at the American Airlines Center, as the star guard scored eight straight points down the stretch in the fourth quarter to help his team even the West semifinals series up at two games apiece on Monday night.
After the game, Thunder big man Chet Holmgren spoke to reporters and at one point, sounded just like a fan of the team when discussing Gilgeous-Alexander's greatness. "There's some points in the game where I'm doing the same thing you guys are doing," Holmgren said. "Just, kind of being a fan of what he's doing. When some of those shots go in, uh, just kinda, making a face, like, 'That's crazy.'
"But he's been doing it all year. I've seen him do it since I got here. That's just who he is, tough shot-maker, but he does a lot more out there for us than just that." "There's some points in the game where I'm just being a fan of what he's doing... he's been doing it all year."Gilgeous-Alexander has now scored 30-plus points in three straight games for the Thunder, who will next take the court for a pivotal Game 5 on Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. ET at the Paycom Center.
