INDIANAPOLIS — After an emphatic 123-107 win over the Indiana Pacers in Game 2 of the 2025 NBA Finals, Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander credited his team’s bounce-back performance to a willingness to not “just throw the first punch,” but to continue to “throw all the punches, all night.”

The Thunder has twice outplayed the Pacers with only one win to show for it. What have we learned from these NBA Finals? What’s in store for Game 3?
