NY Post
It’s a night Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will forever cherish.
Moments after the Thunder won their second NBA title in franchise history — the first since they relocated from Seattle — with a 103-91 victory over the Pacers in Game 7 on Sunday night, the newly minted Finals MVP embraced wife Hailey Summers on the court at Paycom Center in a jubilant scene.
“The moment was amazing,” Gilgeous-Alexander said of the celebrations in front of the home Oklahoma City crowd. “The fans were amazing, it was so much fun, exactly what I expected.”
In footage of the emotional moment, Summers can be seen jumping into the reigning league MVP‘s arms after he put up 29 points, five rebounds and 12 assists.
