So, ya think Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is off to a pretty good start? He’s the first player to average 32 points per game & shoot 54% from the field through the first 14 games of a season since Michael Jordan in 1988-89, per @SNstats @CanBball – 10:49 PM

Shai stared at the box score in his postgame presser and didn’t even hear the first question.
What was he looking at?
“Five missed free throws. I can’t shoot no more techs. I’m running away from fouls now.” – 10:43 PM

Thunder-Wiz was super fun. Avdija actually played some solid 1-on-1 defense vs. Gilgeous-Alexander, but he still scored 42.
& Daigneault probably won the game by benching Giddey & Poku (-21 in 14 minutes!) for the 3rd quarter. – 9:47 PM

The Wizards’ second unit struggled badly on offense, going without scoring a point for a five-minute, 18-second stretch. Washington had trouble dealing with OKC’s ball pressure. This was the first time in six games that Jordan Goodwin struggled as a primary ballhandler. – 7:47 PM

For the first time in his career, Ousmane Dieng is struggling to get going in this game for the Blue. It will be interesting how he responds in the fourth quarter. Up to this point he has been dominating in the G, but everyone has an off game now and then. – 1:28 PM

The Washington Wizards have won four consecutive games — all without Bradley Beal. With Beal set to return tonight, what do the team and Beal need to do to maintain the team’s momentum? Here’s my piece for @The Athletic.
