After the win, Wiggins was in a reflective state in talking about his NBA career.

“The high, lows, I just think back to the dreams that I had growing up, coming out of high school, getting to college, coming out of college, being the 55th pick,” Wiggins said. “Then, getting here, and just trying to find my way. So, staying level-grounded, and having that realization is something I try to tap back into often. And after a night like this, it’s unbelievable to kind of think about, and have that realization.”

As Aaron approached the 30-point threshold against the Kings in the third quarter. Then, he caught fire in the final frame that pushed him toward a 40+ point performance.

“I wasn’t thinking 40 (points) in the third (quarter). I got to a point where I was at like 27, and I was like, ‘I’m a go get 30.’ Then, once I got 30, there was a quick point where I got to 37, and I was like ‘Why not get 40?’ I was just trying to play within the team and within our offense,” Wiggins added. “Found some good looks and some second-chance opportunities.”

Wiggins joined his All-Star teammate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander before All-Star Jalen Williams joined the club the Thunder's exclusive club of players who've scored 40+ points throughout the franchise's history in light of Sunday's win.
