Shai Gilgeous-alexander Making 50-point Games A Regular Occurrence For The West-leading Thunder

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's putback basket in the fourth quarter put him over 50 points and sent the Oklahoma City crowd into a frenzy.

The Thunder star responded by jogging downcourt expressionless, as if it were no big deal.

That's because it has become almost routine for him. His final touch on a 51-point night clinched his fourth 50-point performance in his last 19 games.

"It becomes - you can say it's not as exciting as the first one, but it's more like getting lost in the process of just competing and playing the game you love," Gilgeous-Alexander said. "And then wherever that takes you, it takes you."

Besides, he was most concerned with the final result - a 137-128 win over the Houston Rockets on Monday.
