The Oklahoma City Thunder recently faced off against the Memphis Grizzlies in an intense game at Paycom Center. Star player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander delivered a stellar performance, playing for 34 minutes and scoring 37 points, along with six assists and three rebounds.

Alexander, who earned the “free-throw merchant” moniker this season, has been the topic of debate among NBA circles. Gilgeous-Alexander addressed his free-throw shooting differential, giving officials the benefit of the doubt that they often do their best to make the correct calls.

Is the Thunder star really baiting defenders into contact and officials into blowing a whistle? Let's settle this.
