After the Oklahoma City Thunder 's 118-112 win over the Boston Celtics, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander left his annual trip to TD Garden with an evil laugh. Not only did he drop an efficient 34 points, but he left the city in disarray with his Converse logo projected on iconic buildings.

In a battle of this NBA season’s two leading MVP candidates, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander got one up on Nikola Jokić with a huge 40-point performance to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to a dominant 127-103 win over the Denver Nuggets.
