The Oklahoma City Thunder couldn’t avoid an upset in their 117-114 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Friday. Don’t blame their probable All-Star duo, though.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had an unreal 47 points on 17-of-28 shooting. He left it all on the floor. So did Chet Holmgren with 25 points, 13 rebounds and three blocks. Kenrich Williams also helped with 12 points and seven rebounds.

Meanwhile, Andrew Nembhard led the way with 27 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds. Pascal Siakam had 21 points and six rebounds. Jarace Walker surprised everybody with 26 points and four rebounds.
