Alexander is used to the burdens of superstardom. Every time the OKC Thunder guard pushes the ball up the floor, he's carrying a city on his back. He's carrying a target that comes with being the face of the NBA's top team.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 50 points to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 140-109 home win over the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday.

Down six at the end of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers now have the lead. Sitting on a score of 86-80, they have looked like the better team, but there's still one more quarter to play.
