Shai Gilgeous Alexander's MVP Struggles Put Thunder in a Bind The Oklahoma City Thunder's Western Conference finals opener against the San Antonio Spurs was supposed to be a coronation of sorts, with two time NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous Alexander at the helm.

Gilgeous Alexander struggled on Monday, shooting just 7 of 23 from the floor and committing four turnovers in 51 minutes.
