Oklahoma City stayed true to its season-long pattern — bounce back after a loss. The Thunder did just that Sunday night, rolling past the Pacers 123-107 to even the NBA Finals at 1-1.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way with 34 points, becoming the playoffs’ leading scorer and surpassing 3,000 total points on the season. Alex Caruso added 20 off the bench, while Jalen Williams, Aaron Wiggins, and Chet Holmgren combined for 52.
A 19-2 second-quarter run blew the game open, and the Thunder never let Indiana get closer than 13 the rest of the way. OKC is now 18-2 after losses this season — with 12 of those wins coming by double digits.
