The Oklahoma City Thunder have seen Shai Gilgeous-Alexander be named an All-Star Starter for the second time in his career, marking his third all-star appearance total. The Thunder also saw Jalen Williams finish in the top ten of voting for the West.

Billed as "The Rematch," the Thunder didn't just survive Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen without Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein — but thrived in their small-ball lineup. An astonishing 30-2 run catapulted OKC to its one-sided affair. It led by as many as 42 points.

“OKC is gonna fall because they can’t afford their team because their team is too good and too young,” Arenas said on his podcast Gil’s Arena. “The fact that they’re all playing well, they have to be paid. Somebody has to pay them and OKC can’t afford all of it. This is what happened to OKC the first time.”
