Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams Lead Thunder to Victory Over Kings After Crushing Defeat

Crushed by the Mavs last night, the Thunder raised their heads on this Super Bowl evening with a controlled victory against the Kings. The Shai Gilgeous-Alexander / Jalen Williams duo was transcendent.

For the stats sheet of this meeting with limited suspense, it’s here.

No hangover for OKC after the beating suffered against Dallas last night. Despite a back-to-back in the legs, Mark Daigneault’s men put in a very solid match to redeem themselves with their fans.

At the head of the gondola, not one but two men of the match. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams combined for 70 points and took turns perfectly all evening to sink the Kings who chased the score throughout without ever really managing to worry OKC, apart from this small revolt at the start of money time to return to -8. But then again, who was there to calm the ardor of Sactown? SGA and J-Dub of course.

As always, Sacramento was able to count on an excellent Domantas Sabonis, author of a new triple-double for his personal collection (21 points, 14 assists, 11 rebounds). Malik Monk was also valuable coming off the bench (26 years old) and Keegan Murray made his contribution on both sides of the field. In vain..

On the Thunder side, we obviously remember the two space goons at the top of the poster but also the contributions of the lieutenants with Chet Holmgren and Lu Dort. Effective in scoring, the two players also weighed well on the defensive level. The Canadian was notably able to take care of De’Aaron Fox, author of only 15 points at 6/17 on the shoot. A very complicated evening for the California fox.

OKC takes the opportunity to get closer to the Clippers and the Wolves at the top of the Western Conference while Sacramento falls to seventh place.
