Carlisle, Indiana coach, had this to say about Gilgeous-Alexander’s excellent performance, which, in fact, decided the game and forced his team to defeat: “He will score. We must find a way to make life as difficult for him as possible” his words, especially in view of the continuation of the final series. The person directly involved, is not particularly exalted by his great performance: “I am just myself. I just try to approach the game the right way. I think I have done a good job so far”.
