Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Scores 32, Leading Thunder to 124-112 Win Over Pistons

Thunder star Gilgeous-Alexander bounces back from poor performance in previous game, guiding team to victory with a combination of scoring, rebounding, and effective shooting.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 124-112 victory against the Detroit Pistons by scoring 32 points, redeeming himself after a disappointing 7-point performance in the prior game against the Denver Nuggets.
Gilgeous-Alexander showcased his skill and consistency, making 11 of his 23 attempted field goals, as well as all nine of his free throws, despite challenging defense from Pistons rookie Ausar Thompson.
The Thunder maintained their edge throughout the game and showcased strength in their shooting, achieving a team shooting average of 53%, with a strong 44.8% from behind the arc.
The team's victory was bolstered by noteworthy contributions from Josh Giddey who scored 21 points, and Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren who added 19 and 14 points respectively, with Holmgren also making four blocks.
The Pistons, despite strong performances from Jaden Ivey with 20 points and Cade Cunningham with 17 points, were unable to overcome an early deficit, with their shooting at an unimpressive 30% in the first quarter.
