Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
"I was a bit too excited."
"I thought, 'No, that's probably not the way to go.'"
"I wanted to let the game come to me. Lean on my teammates, play through them, play with them. I just didn't want to force things. Let the game come to me."
"I'm glad we won, so I can really enjoy these last days, soak it all in. That helps a lot."
Jalen Williams (OKC)
"It reassures the team to know that he can turn the page as quickly as he does. That puts all of us in that same mode."
Mike Conley (Wolves)
Shai is one of the best in the world at getting to his spot and rising up. Our bigs have to be up higher. Our guards need to be ready to switch and take away the midrange shot. It's no longer a series where you can settle for that shot. You can't give it to these guys. They make it."
Mark Daigneault (OKC)
He has an incredible ability to not be in rhythm and to get into it almost instantly. You never feel like the next play will be a continuation of a bad stretch or multiple misses. You always feel like he's gearing up for the next possession. He has great mental strength and tremendous consistency."
