Twitter reacts to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s logo shot, performance vs. Lakers

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hit his signature moment of his young career against the Lakers, and Twitter reacted.

Beating the Los Angeles Lakers is one way to establish your arrival in the league.

Doing it twice in eight days and hitting a pivotal shot from the logo is a way to announce that you are a star.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander willed the Oklahoma City Thunder to victory on Thursday night, and his late-game play took Twitter by storm. His pass out of a quadruple-team may have iced the game, but his shot from the logo shortly before is the new signature moment of his young career.

The Thunder got a 107-104 come-from-behind victory over the Lakers as OKC poured in 35 points in the fourth quarter. Gilgeous-Alexander scored 11 and had four assists in that frame alone.

Twitter, for the first time in a long time, was in awe of the Thunder.

Starting with the two highlights:

In the two games against the Lakers, Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 27.5 points and 5.5 assists and is 9-for-18 from 3.
