Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shares his thoughts on the heated moment with Dillon Brooks during the Thunder's intense game against the Rockets.

Alexander told the world last year that his life was consistent across the board. But perhaps even he didn’t know it could get this deep.  On Friday, with his Thunder (15-4) grinding and attempting to stomach more forgettable offense — a bug that’s lasted the better part of a road trip — Gilgeous-Alexander sized up his defender while up one.

In perhaps their best win of the 2024-25 season, Fred VanVleet poured in 38 points and heated up late as the Rockets (15-6) rallied past the Thunder.
