Checking in for three quarters has become standard for Thunder star Alexander this season. Against the Warriors, Alexander once again set a new record for three-quarter check-ins. In just three quarters, he scored 28 points and 11 assists, helping the team easily defeat their opponents at home.

In this campaign, Alexander once again performed well in the third quarter, scoring 13 points, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in a single quarter, completely defeating his opponents on both offense and defense. Under his impact, the Warriors' defense seemed vulnerable. In this direct duel between the stars of the two teams, Alexander had the absolute upper hand. Although Curry came back in this game, he was in poor condition and only scored 11 points and no assists.

So far this season, Alexander has clocked out in three quarters 6 times. You must know that the Thunder only played 12 games, and Alexander played in all 12 games, which means that he clocked out in three quarters in half of the games. In the past 8 games, Alexander has been in stable form, averaging 31.3 points and 6.8 assists per game, and his three shooting percentages have reached 52.2%, 42.6%, and 93.9% respectively, entering the 180 club. Compared with the relatively poor three-point touch at the beginning of the season, Alexander has recently achieved huge improvements in his relative shortcomings, which makes his scoring stability in the game more prominent.

So far this season, Alexander has averaged 32.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game, leading the Thunder to the league's best record of 11 wins and 1 loss. If Alexander can continue his current performance, he is likely to win the regular season MVP for two consecutive seasons, becoming another player in the league since Jokic to achieve this achievement.

Compared with last season, in addition to Alexander continuing to perform stably in personal scoring this season, his organizational skills have also improved. After defeating the Warriors, Thunder player Isaiah Joe praised the team leader in an interview, "I think he has done a very good job in creating opportunities for his teammates."

Chet Holmgren said, "You know, I think he has done a good job, really good. I can't say how he wants to improve, but he did a great job this year. He understands that the team must continue to improve, and he is a very good leader and helps his teammates improve together."
