Despite a high-stick to the mouth from Canada's Sam Bennett late in the third period, Hughes played on and fired a left-wing rocket past goalkeeper Jordan Binnington to seal the victory.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the 2024-2025 regular-season and NBA Finals MVP from the Oklahoma City Thunder, somehow upped his game this season. The unstoppable guard, a four-time All-Star and four-time first-team All-NBA honoree, turned in his most efficient season yet, shooting shot 55% from the field, averaging a career-best 6.6 assists per game, and leading the NBA in free throws made per game (7.9), as Oklahoma City again finished with the league's best record. The Canadian's shiftiness and ability to stop on a dime for pull-up jumpers and step-backs helped him frustrate opponents and secure his second straight MVP award.
