OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander addressed his back-and-forth with Phoenix Suns guard Dillon Brooks in Game 2's 120-107 win. The Thunder grabbed a 2-0 lead against the Suns in its best-of-7 first-round series, where Gilgeous-Alexander laughed and pointed at Brooks after sinking a shot over him.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander sank a shot right over Dillon Brooks and followed it up by hitting Brooks with the “Pops” meme celebration.
It's apparent the Suns’ primary, secondary and tertiary defensive order of operations are centered around slowing down Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The reigning league and Finals MVP, one of the most efficient scorers in recent NBA history, is seeing a swarm of bodies on seemingly every turn and catch of the ball.
Dillon Brooks' antics were on full display during OKC's Game 1 blowout of Phoenix. But it turns out, the biggest damage he inflicted was to the Suns' offense.
