Another game, another stellar shot:

In the Thunder’s first encounter against rookie Zion Williamson on February 13th, Gallinari played effortlessly on his way to 29 points. 

Gallo added two steals, two rebounds, and one assist while shooting 12 of 18 from the floor.

A mid-range jumper with 30 seconds to go put the game out of reach for the Pelicans as he topped off a performance that he can be very proud of.

Lucky number 8:

On the 9th of November, Gallinari achieved a milestone against the Golden State Warriors. He reached 8,888 career points.

It was fitting since he was born on August 8th, 1988 and his jersey number is eight as well. The Thunder won the game 114-108 as Gallo scored 21 points, five rebounds, three assists, and knocked down four three-pointers.

As we reflect on these games and moments, it is awesome to look back at how much of an impact Gallo has had on this team in such a short space of time.

Being a player who just joined OKC, it seems as if he has always been a part of the squad. He has not only helped win many games but win many hearts around the city.
