Even after Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander put up 52 points, it wasn't enough as the team lost to the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night, 116-109. Though the Warriors ruined a masterful performance from the Thunder star, head coach Mark Daigneault would give credit where credit is due after the game.

What Oklahoma City calls a "0-0 mentality" is drilled into its members. That process has resulted in the team owning the NBA's best record.

The Golden State Warriors are barely above .500 on the season, with their most recent victory coming against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

After the game, Daigneault commended his team for its ability to limit Anfernee Simons and Jerami Grant to subpar performances while keeping its composure in responding to being on the wrong end of a 14-4 game-opening run on the road.

While his stats are still MVP-worthy, the extra playing time could've boosted his 31.5-point average a little higher to chase the scoring title.

OKC returns to action tonight against Golden State, their only game in a five-day stretch. The Warriors, meanwhile, are on the second night of a back-to-back.

By virtue of clinching the best record in the West, Daigneault has earned a spot as a head coach in the NBA All-Star Game.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are sitting at 34-7 following Sunday’s lopsided win over the Brooklyn Nets, 127-101.  This win, cements the fact that the OKC Thunder
