During the Oklahoma City Thunder's playoff battle against the Dallas Mavericks, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander admitted they needed to "turn that water off" with PJ Washington's scoring and outside shooting.

Even if his answers are prefaced by a long hmmmm, the length of which leads one to believe he’s holding a Shakespearean quip, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has not often seemed stumped by a question.

Mavericks 121, Thunder 115 P.J. Washington: 22 PTS, 19 REB, 3 STL Kyrie Irving: 24 PTS, 4 AST, 2 STL Spencer Dinwiddie: 28 PTS, 1 REB, 3 AST Jalen Williams: 33 PTS, 7 AST, 4

Washington's career playoff series tilted the odds in Dallas' favor last year. Dared to make outside shots, the career 35% 3-pointer shooter shot 46.9% from 3 on 8.2 attempts against OKC in the playoffs. And even when he doesn't dominate on the floor, he still makes his presence known.
