Oklahoma City is a win away from its first NBA title, and it needs one more big performance from its superstar. Throughout the 2024-25 season, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been a tier above almost everyone else in the league.

Oklahoma City has won 12 of its last 18, and Gilgeous-Alexander posted at least 34 points in seven of those victories. In the postseason, SGA’s aggression on offense has translated well to overall team success. In losses, he’s averaged just 7.5 free throws, but in wins, that number leaps to 10.3.

Game 7s can be ugly, but the last time they played a Game 7 (at New York last year), the Pacers set a playoff record by shooting 67.1%. A repeat in that regard is highly unlikely, but the Thunder will still need to be better offensively than they were on Thursday.
