The NBA Finals shift to Indianapolis for a pivotal Game 3, with the Pacers and Thunder level at one game apiece.
On the heels of a stunning late-game collapse in Game 1, Oklahoma City looked like its domineering self in a 123-107 Game 2 victory. MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander dropped 34 points, while four other players scored in double figures, including Alex Caruso (20 points) and Aaron Wiggins (18 points) off the bench.
SGA has now scored at least 30 points in nine of the last 10 games this postseason, with the Thunder going 7-3 in that span.
We'll see what sort of response the Pacers can muster back on their home floor. Following his game-winner in Game 1, Tyrese Haliburton struggled through most of Game 2, though he finished with 17 points. Pascal Siakam, the Eastern Conference MVP, shot just 3-of-11 in the loss.
