The Thunder<\/a> blew out the Suns<\/a> tonight from the NBA Cup after a 138-89 win against the short-handed Phoenix. Emotions seemingly boiled over in the third quarter when Grayson Allen<\/a> pushed Chet Holmgren<\/a> intentionally while setting a screen. Subsequently, Allen was ejected from the game for a Flagrant foul 2, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander\u2019s<\/a> reaction went viral.<\/p>\n

Considering that the Suns were without Devin Booker<\/a> and Jalen Green<\/a>, the defending champions were the clear favorites coming into this game. But the Suns felt they had to respond with a certain level of physicality. Especially since the Thunder nearly ran away with the game in the first half itself (74-48 score at halftime), the Suns players were bound to be frustrated.<\/p>\n

NBA fans saw this incident on social media and expressed their opinions on the questionable play. Several reactions flooded the internet on the MVP\u2019s viral response.<\/p>\n

\u201cBro took his frustrations towards Shai out on him. Shai received the message, though. \ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t even lie, Shai\u2019s got the funniest facial expressions in the league.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe league HATES them, I\u2019m surprised this doesn\u2019t happen more often.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis needs to be a meme ASAPPPPP!!! \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey mad they getting spanked lmaooo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShai, seeing what an actual foul looks like, blew his mind. \ud83d\ude02\u201d<\/p>\n

On the previous possession, Holmgren seemingly pushed Allen to the floor, and it seemed like this was the former Duke guard\u2019s response. Allen is infamous in the league for being too aggressive, but some might argue that what he did was proportional to Holmgren\u2019s act on the previous play.<\/p>\n

Following their last meeting before tonight, even Devin Booker<\/a> had called out the Thunder\u2019s defensive tactics<\/a> and seemingly pointed to the frustrations resulting from what the officials are allowing the defending champions to get away with.<\/p>\n

Gilgeous-Alexander stuffed the box score tonight in just 27 minutes on the floor. He finished the game with 28 points, eight assists, two rebounds, two steals, and one block while shooting 11-of-15 from the field (73.3%) and 3-of-4 from the three-point line (75%). His incredible efficiency this season has earned him comparisons<\/a> with Michael Jordan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Thunder have extended their winning streak<\/a> to 16 games after beating the Suns tonight and qualified for the semifinals of the NBA Cup. They will face the winner of the Lakers<\/a> vs. the Spurs<\/a> on Saturday night (December 13).<\/p>\n
