Shai Gilgeous-Alexander amassed 28 points (11-of-22 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block over 30 minutes in a blowout win over the Grizzlies on Friday.

Gilgeous-Alexander continues to shoulder the bulk of the scoring workload for the injury-plagued Thunder who are without starters Jalen Williams, Cason Wallace and Chet Holmgren. He came up short in his bid for a third consecutive 40-point performance, but that was mostly due to the fact that he wasn’t needed in the late stages of a one-sided affair. He got some significant help from youngsters Ajay Mitchell and Jared McCain as the trio accounted for 75 of Oklahoma City’s 98 points through three quarters in a lopsided affair. The Thunder are back in action with a home matchup against the Wizards on Saturday.
