During a recent interview, Isaiah Hartenstein praised his Thunder teammate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for being an MVP-caliber player.

Even though Shai Gilgeous-Alexander put up 52 points, the Golden State Warriors still overcame a 14-point deficit to defeat the Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder 116-109 at Chase Center on Wednesday.
