Oklahoma City Thunder vs Indiana Pacers

Game 2: Sunday, June 9 – 10:30pm EST – Paycom Center, Oklahoma City

The Thunder will feel like they let Game 1 slip through their fingers. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was steady throughout, but their offense sputtered late as the Pacers turned up the defensive pressure. Expect OKC to respond early in Game 2, with a fast start and defensive focus front and center.

Indiana will ride high after Haliburton’s heroics, but can they match that intensity again so soon? Pascal Siakam was immense inside, and Myles Turner gave the Thunder trouble on the boards — but maintaining that momentum in a second straight road game is a big ask.

OKC should come out firing in front of a raucous home crowd, and show the Pacers why they are historically one of the best teams to play the game.
