Alexander scored 40 points, 9 rebounds, 10 assists, real MVP! Commentary mocked the "King of the Criminals" and was slapped in the face on the spot

In the G4 of the Western Conference Finals, the Thunder defeated the Timberwolves 128-126 away, leading 3-1 in the series, only one step away.

In this game, Alexander made 13 of 30 shots, made 12 of 14 free throws, scored 40 points, 9 rebounds, 10 assists, and had 4 frontcourt rebounds. At the critical moment of the fourth quarter, Alexander misplaced a single against Gobert. He broke through to the paint area and fell to the ground, passing the ball out of his opponent's crotch, assisting Jaylen Williams to make a key three-pointer. In the last moment, Alexander relied on a steady free throw to help the Thunder win the Western Conference Finals point.

Alexander is the seventh player in the history of the division finals to score at least 40 points and 10 assists in a single game. 40 points were also the highest score in Alexander's playoff career. Looking at the history of the Thunder, only Durant and Westbrook have scored 40 points in the Western Conference Finals.

After the game, Alexander praised his teammates Jaylen Williams (34 points, 5 assists and 3 steals) and Chet Holmegren: "They were amazing tonight, and I'm proud of them."

It is worth mentioning that Alexander made a foul in the game and received a free throw. Doris Burke, the leading actress in charge of commentary in ESPN, called Alexander "free throw merchant" and was refuted by his partner Richard Jefferson. Burke immediately changed his words and expressed his agreement with Richard Jefferson's view. Slow motion shows Gobert put his hand on Alexander's arm during defense.
