Shai Gilgeous-Alexander said that this season was a failure following the Oklahoma City Thunder's Game 7 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night.

"I failed at my goal," Gilgeous-Alexander said. "I didn't achieve what I wanted to achieve. But I learn the most about myself and make the greatest amount of increases in my career when I fail and don't get what I want. I look at this no different. I didn't get where I wanted to go this season. There's a reason for that. Now I have to look at that reason and try to make sure it never happens again."

Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 35 points and nine assists in the loss.

Gilgeous-Alexander averaged 25.9 points on 40.9% shooting for the series, down from 31.1 points and 55.3% shooting from the field in the regular season.

The guard then described the challenge of scoring on Victor Wembanyama as "different."

"There's a guy on their back line that is a little bit different," Gilgeous-Alexander said of Wembanyama. "They funnel everything to him. ... It's a really good defense. But it's not impossible to score. I just think it's very different."

While Gilgeous-Alexander said that he will give "zero" input on any offseason moves, he did add that the Thunder "need Chet Holmgren" moving forward.
