Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished Friday’s loss to the Clippers with 40 points (15-of-26 FGs, 8-of-11 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, one steal and two three-pointers.

Gilgeous-Alexander finished with his third 40-point game of the season, but he wishes he’d scored 42 instead of 40. The two-time MVP’s shot as time expired missed the mark, resulting in a 113-112 Clippers victory. After shooting a combined 17-of-42 in two losses to the Trail Blazers, Gilgeous-Alexander was much more efficient on Friday, shooting well over 50 percent from the field. He could be in for another big night to end the week, as the Thunder visit the Kings on Sunday.
