Shai Gilgeous-Alexander After Losing Game 6: 'The Better Team Sunday Will Win'

Thursday night’s Game 6 saw the Oklahoma City Thunder lose 108-91 to the Indiana Pacers, as it was one of the most one-sided blowouts seen in this series to date. At one point, OKC was losing by 31 points.

Gilgeous-Alexander said they need to “learn the lessons” from Game 6 after seeing the team commit 21 turnovers and 38% from the field during the first three quarters of the game. OKC sat their starters for the entire fourth quarter.

“We need to learn the lessons, and we have one game for everything we worked for, and so do they,” said Shai Gilgeous-Alexander about the upcoming Game 7. “The better team Sunday will win.”

Shai had eight of the 21 turnovers, the worst in a single game in at least 40 years. Fans saw him only complete two assists.

“Some of them I just think was carelessness and not being focused and not being engaged,” Gilgeous-Alexander said when asked about the turnovers.

The 26-year-old said the team got distracted possibility of winning a title in Game 6:

“That’s why the night went the way that it did. We got exactly what we deserved, what we earned. We have to own that.”

Game 7 is on Sunday.

The New York Knicks and Detroit Pistons are two teams who have the most interest, and connections, to the 28-year-old.

According to Jake Fischer, the 23-year-old is currently deciding between two options for the Brooklyn Nets and beyond: sign the qualifying offer this season or sign a two-year deal with Brooklyn.

If Cam Thomas were to sign the qualifying offer, it would guarantee him the reality of being an unrestricted free agent in 2026’s offseason. This is something that has held him down this offseason.

If he were to accept the Nets two-year contract offer, Thomas would only be making $28 million in total and the second year is a team option. The young guard has expressed his desires of earning top-tier money for his statistical production and what he believes he can offer to an organization.

This offseason has shown two things for Thomas: being a restricted free agent has been a nightmare to leave and earn more, and the lack of cap space from interested teams to leave Brooklyn. Thomas has reportedly become intrigued in leaving the Nets to go somewhere else.

Last season, he averaged 24.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game.

According to Jake Fischer, the Golden State Warriors and former Boston Celtics player Al Horford are close on a contract agreement. However, the Jonathan Kuminga situation is stalling those talks as he wants them to resolve that issue first.

Once the Kuminga issue is dealt with, Horford is expected to sign a two-year, over $11 million deal with the Warriors. He would use the full taxpayer midlevel exception for this upcoming season, which would land him $5.685 million for 2025-26.

The second season would be a player option, as the Warriors are hoping this type of contract is to his liking. Golden State highly values his ability to stretch the floor and being able to switch on defense, especially around the center position.
