Hupu News November 24 NBA regular season, the Thunder defeated the Trail Blazers 122-95 at home.

After the game, Trail Blazers interim head coach Splitter was interviewed by reporters and talked about the topic of defending Thunder player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Split: I think we faltered in defending some of Alexander's fake moves and made some mistakes, but you can't be tough enough just because you're afraid of fouls. Fouls are part of the game and Alexander has the ball most of the time, so you have to be aggressive.

Throughout the game, Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander started for 30 minutes and made 13 of 18 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and 9 of 9 free throws. He scored 37 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 steals.
