One week after scoring 54 points in a win, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander poured in 52 in a losing effort Wednesday night against the Warriors.

On Wednesday, the Shai area was reverted to the Bay Area.  That doesn’t mean Shai Gilgeous-Alexander didn’t try to stake his ownership claim. He finished with 52 points, just his second 50-point game of his career,

Steph Curry dropped 17 points in the second half and made key plays down the stretch. Andrew Wiggins dropped a team-high 27 points, including five 3-pointers. Kevon Looney matched his regular season career-high with 18 points and Gary Payton II (15 points, nine rebounds) stamped the game with a vicious slam dunk with under a minute left.
