Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Stats Tonight: How did Thunder superstar fare against San Antonio Spurs? (Mar. 2)

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the OKC Thunder capped off a three-game road swing on Sunday with a matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. The Thunder would take a 2-1 series lead with a win versus the Victor Wembanyama-less team. A victory would also improve the Thunder’s winning streak to three games.

SGA scored 12 points and had three assists in the first quarter, pushing OKC to a 41-38 lead. He went 5-for-9, including 2-for-3 from deep, to open the game. The Thunder needed his fiery performance to hold off the Spurs, who ended the period with a flurry.

The OKC superstar added 10 more points in the second quarter, getting most of his output from the free-throw line, where he went 8-for-9. Again, the Thunder badly needed his production as San Antonio won the quarter 39-31 to cut OKC's lead to 77-72 at halftime.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander tallied nine points and three assists in the third period. SGA led the OKC Thunder's eruption in the period after a lethargic first half. Oklahoma City dominated the San Antonio Spurs to turn a 77-72 deficit into a 108-100 lead entering the final frame.

Thunder coach Mark Daigneault kept SGA on the bench until four minutes left in the fourth quarter. He came in with 4:20 remaining to relieve Isaiah Hartenstein. The Thunder led 134-117 when the MVP frontrunner took the court.

Daigneault took out Shai Gilgeous-Alexander after roughly two minutes. The Thunder cruised to a 146-132 win even without the Canadian on the floor.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leads the OKC Thunder to a series win against the San Antonio Spurs

Western Conference teams usually face each other four times in the regular season. In the 2024-25 campaign, the San Antonio Spurs and the OKC Thunder were scheduled to meet just three times.

Oklahoma City won the first encounter 105-93 in late October before San Antonio responded with a 110-104 win in mid-November. In the final meeting between the two teams, the Thunder trailed early but dominated the second half for a 146-132 win. The victory gave Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and OKC the season series, 2-1.
