Game 3 Recap

With the season teetering and the game on the line, the Thunder turned to their star — and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander delivered. SGA scored 15 of his 35 points in the final 4:38, powering Oklahoma City past Indiana 111-104 on Friday night to even the NBA Finals at 2-2.

OKC closed on a 16-7 run, with SGA scoring all but one of those points. The Thunder erased a 10-point second-half deficit despite hitting just three threes, a season low, and getting zero assists from their MVP for the first time all year.

Jalen Williams added 27 points, Alex Caruso chipped in 20, and Chet Holmgren posted 14 points and 15 boards. The win swings the momentum and home-court advantage back to OKC heading into a crucial Game 5 on Monday.

Pascal Siakam led Indiana with 20, Tyrese Haliburton had 18, and Obi Toppin added 17. The Pacers led by 10 late in the third but couldn’t close, going ice-cold in the final minutes as OKC surged ahead for good.
