Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander remains unfazed by the “free-throw merchant” chants, stating, “I don’t care.” The Thunder secured a 128-126 victory over the Timberwolves, placing them one win away from the NBA Finals. Gilgeous-Alexander, the league MVP, led the team in a narrow win during Game 4 of the Western Conference finals. He dismissed the chants, viewing the label as a compliment due to his high number of free throws this season. Gilgeous-Alexander made 12 of 14 free throws, contributing significantly to the team’s total. He scored the final five points from the free-throw line and nearly achieved a triple-double with 40 points, 10 assists, and 9 rebounds. Despite the chants from Timberwolves fans and commentary from ESPN’s Doris Burke, Gilgeous-Alexander remains focused, with the Thunder on the brink of their first NBA Finals since 2012.
