A Magia de Médio Alcance de SGA é a Criptonita dos Celtics
SGA Just Keeps Dunking On Boston
You saw it, right? Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, March 12, 2026. The man drops 35 points against the Celtics, leading the Thunder to a tight 104-102 win. That’s pure highlight reel stuff. It wasn't just the points; it was how he got them. He’s got that silky smooth game that makes defenders look lost.
Here's the thing: SGA isn't just a one-off performance against Boston. He's been consistently cooking them. Just a year prior, on March 12, 2025, he put up 34 points in another Thunder win, 118-112. And Chet Holmgren added 23 points and 15 boards in that one. That’s two big wins with SGA leading the charge.
Boston just can't seem to stop him when it matters. The Thunder have actually won 10 of their last 20 games against the Celtics. That's a .500 record against one of the league's perennial contenders. And in their last six matchups, OKC is 5-1, averaging 117.3 points per game. That’s getting buckets.
The Thunder's Athletic Advantage
Look, the Celtics are a good team, but the Thunder bring a level of raw, unadulterated athleticism that few can match. We’re talking about guys who can jump out of the gym, cover ground instantly, and just make plays that defy gravity. That March 12, 2026 game, tied at 102, then Chet Holmgren seals it. That's big man athleticism right there.
I think the Celtics struggle with the Thunder's speed and length. They can't always contain the dribble penetration, and then it's a lob or a kick-out for an open shot. It's basketball designed for the highlight reel. SGA breaking Wilt's record (in what context, I’m not sure, but it sounds huge) and beating Boston 104-102? That's the kind of moment you replay over and over.
My hot take? The Thunder, with their young core and SGA leading the charge, are going to be a consistent problem for the Celtics for years to come. Boston hasn't figured out how to stop the highlights, and until they do, OKC will keep piling up the wins.
I'm calling it now: The Thunder will win at least three of their next five games against the Celtics, and SGA will have a 40-point game in one of them.
