Shai Gilgeous-Alexander looked every bit the MVP in putting up 54 points on the Jazz Wednesday night — the first 50-point game of his career.

The Thunder also got 25 from Jalen Williams in the 123-114 Oklahoma City win. John Collins scored 22 in his return to play, leading a balanced Utah attack with all five starters in double figures. However, Utah’s 27 turnovers did them in.
