NBA Finals

OKLAHOMA CITY — The zen of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander felt authentic as he revisited the squandering of his Thunder’s NBA Finals debut. A missed opportunity punctuated by the easy money he left on the table with his final shot.
But SGA had some 38 hours to sit with it, filter it through his processor. He emerged for interviews Saturday with his on-brand serenity and ready to give answers. Calmly and clearly.
“Yeah, they are easy to put away now,” he said after Oklahoma City’s practice at Paycom Center. “There was a time in my career where it wasn’t, and you grow and learn through that. I’ve just grown to learn, like, you control what you can control. I shot the ball, I missed it. It’s written in history. There’s nothing I can do now. That is a missed shot, and all I can do is try to be better the next shot. That’s what I focus on. That’s my mindset. At this point, it’s like second nature.”
