With this performance, Shai also made NBA history. He became the only Canadian-born player to record multiple games with 50 or more points. Of course, he was tied with fellow Canadian-born player Jamal Murray of the Denver Nuggets with one 50-point game, but after his incredible performance Wednesday night, Shai now stands alone at the top.

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

Gilgeous-Alexander has made it to the playoffs on three different occasions, and he's still looking for his first NBA title. His longest playoff run came in 2024, when the Oklahoma City Thunder were eliminated in the Conference Semifinals.
