Post-Game Reflection
After the game, SGA emphasized the importance of competing against the best, reflecting a mindset that drives him to test his skills against top-tier teams like the Celtics. His outstanding performance throughout the season has notably elevated his MVP candidacy, now surpassing other contenders in popularity and performance.
The Thunder’s win against a prestigious opponent underscored their potential as championship contenders, supported by their recent defensive success. In the aftermath of a disappointing loss in the in-season tournament, they have rallied with ten consecutive victories and a markedly improved defensive approach.
