In a game where the Warriors fought relentlessly despite missing Stephen Curry and losing Jimmy Butler at halftime due to a knee injury, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander once again rose above everyone else.

His performance in the final minutes was nothing short of elite. With the Warriors attempting a comeback through aggressive defense and rapid-fire 3-point shooting, SGA calmly dismantled their strategy.

One of the defining plays came with 3:40 remaining, when Gilgeous-Alexander hit a cold-blooded step-back three, immediately silencing the Chase Center crowd. His signature “reload” celebration added to the moment, reminding everyone why he is now one of the NBA’s top five players.

SGA’s consistency continues to stun the basketball world—he has now scored 20+ points in 94 consecutive regular-season games, the second-longest streak in NBA history, trailing only Wilt Chamberlain.

Chet Holmgren summarized it perfectly:

“No matter what you do as a defense, you’re wrong,” Holmgren said. “He’s that good.”
