According to Gilgeous-Alexander, a silver lining opens an opener at home, is an Oklahoma City team on the Oklahoma City season tour that won the best 68 regular season wins in the league to see how it deals with adversity. “It should be fun,” Gilgeous-Alexander said after his first playoff defeat. “We're going to find out what we make of, what we really make. No one expects it to go smoothly throughout the journey. No in life, we know. Today is a bump on the road – an accident. No one expects to lose, especially that, but it's a game of life.
