Even though Shai Gilgeous-Alexander put up 52 points, the Golden State Warriors still overcame a 14-point deficit to defeat the Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder 116-109 at Chase Center on Wednesday.

Steph Curry dropped 17 points in the second half and made key plays down the stretch. Andrew Wiggins dropped a team-high 27 points, including five 3-pointers. Kevon Looney matched his regular season career-high with 18 points and Gary Payton II (15 points, nine rebounds) stamped the game with a vicious slam dunk with under a minute left.

One week after scoring 54 points in a win, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander poured in 52 in a losing effort Wednesday night against the Warriors.

What Thunder All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had to say about scoring 52 points in a loss versus the Warriors

The Oklahoma City Thunder, the NBA's top team, got 52 points from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the NBA's leading scorer, on Wednesday. It wasn't enough to defeat a team just hovering above .500.

Stephen Curry hit a long 3-pointer with 1:52 left on the way to 21 points, Andrew Wiggins scored 27 and the Golden State Warriors beat the Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder 116-109.

With this performance, Shai also made NBA history. He became the only Canadian-born player to record multiple games with 50 or more points. Of course, he was tied with fellow Canadian-born player Jamal Murray of the Denver Nuggets with one 50-point game, but after his incredible performance Wednesday night, Shai now stands alone at the top.

The 116-109 win means the Warriors have beaten the Western Conference front runners for the second time in three meetings this season. Read more at straitstimes.com.
