Even though Shai Gilgeous-Alexander put up 52 points, the Golden State Warriors still overcame a 14-point deficit to defeat the Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder 116-109 at Chase Center on Wednesday.

Alexander could score 50, shackled by efficiency and blowout wins. One week later, it's been required of the Thunder star. Twice.  But in a loss? That felt unfathomable. Incomputable. Illegal.

During the Warriors’ blazing 12-3 start to the season, when they looked as legitimate as anyone, they beat the Thunder in their building. A hellish two months and 20 losses later, they stunned the Thunder at Chase Center.
