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.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 33 points and the NBA-leading Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Portland Trail Blazers 118-108 on Sunday night. Jalen Williams added 24 points and eight assists, and Isaiah Hartenstein had 14 points and 11 rebounds to help the Thunder rebound from a home loss to Dallas on Thursday night.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is having a remarkable season and truly showing why he is one of the best players in the league and why OKC is a strong contender for the title.

Alexander could score 50, shackled by efficiency and blowout wins. One week later, it's been required of the Thunder star. Twice.  But in a loss? That felt unfathomable. Incomputable. Illegal.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 52 points for Oklahoma City Wednesday, but Golden State's balanced scoring attack was too much for the Thunder in a 116-109 victory. Andrew Wiggins scored 27 for the Warriors.

Andrew Wiggins, Kevon Looney and Gary Payton II made the Chase Center feel like old times Wednesday night. Was it their last hurrah?

A second half comeback helped the Warriors seal one of their best wins of the season with an upset victory over the Thunder.

Stephen Curry bounced back from a four-point first half with five second-half 3-pointers and the Golden State Warriors rallied to overcome Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 52 points and stun the Oklahoma City Thunder 116-109 on Wednesday night in San Francisco.

The Oklahoma City Thunder will be in a tough environment as they take on the Golden State Warriors on the road.

The Warriors have struggled with three losses in their last five games. They've felt the absences of Green and Kuminga. Meanwhile, the Thunder are well-rested with a two-day break. This is also the healthiest they've looked all season. Barring Curry going supernova, expect Gilgeous-Alexander to collect another win against Golden State.
