SGA on the OKC crowd: “They’ve found a way to get louder each game, I don’t know how they do it..
They’re special. The best fans in the world.” – 11:17 PM

SGA on Aaron Wiggins’ big game tonight:
“Big time. It’s impressive to me. He’s been exactly who he’s been all year.
No matter what, he finds a way to impact winning for us.
Pretty gutsy. Says a lot about the competitor and man he is.” – 11:16 PM

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander “you have to stay focused on the task at hand…you have to lock in and stay focused….they play a full 48 minutes. You can’t just throw the first punch, you have to try to throw all the punches” – 11:14 PM

OKC win Game 2 123-107. SGA with 34/5/8a and 4 steals. He hit six different teammates for 3s. Nembhard with 11 and 4a and Mathurin with 14 pts on 4/7 shooting in 22 minutes, second highest minutes played for him this post-season. Game 3 in Indy on Wednesday. – 10:43 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
The Pacers led much of the 1st Q, but it was all OKC the rest of the way. They trailed by as many as 23pts in a 123-107 Game 2 loss and the series is now 1-1.
SGA had 34-5-8; Pacers with seven in double figures, but OKC shot 49%. – 10:37 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Just 5pts for Haliburton on 2/7 shooting. (None inside the paint.) He needs twice that amount of attempts. Thunder up 93-74 entering the 4th after outscoring the Pacers by 1 in the 3Q.
SGA has been special — 27pts, including 8/9 FTs – 10:02 PM

Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
OKC is playing offense-defense getting Shai Gilgeous-Alexander some rest here with 15 seconds left. going to have this possession plus the long quarter break. Could be huge and get him back in early in the fourth. – 10:01 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: 3 steals, 1 block with 3:32 left to play in 3rd quarter
Only one player had more steals this season (Daniels)
Only 23 players had more blocks – 9:53 PM

Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
OKC gets in the bonus at the 3:32 mark in the third frame. Both teams sit there to end the third. Indiana calling a timeout between these SGA free throws. OKC up 82-64. – 9:49 PM

Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Another great read by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, he empties out Cason Wallace and starts to walk to his baseline back to the basket middy, defense shades to him he fires it to a wide open Jalen Williams for 3, miss but great process. – 9:34 PM

Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
OKC up 59-41 at the half.
SGA: 15 PTS/6-11 FG
JDub: 9 PTS/4 REB/4 AST
Chet: 11 PTS/5-8 FG
Thunder Big 3 have been great so far tonight. – 9:14 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Aaron Wiggins saw what Andrew Nembhard did to Shai and figured now was the time to mix Tyrese Haliburton in retaliation! – 8:57 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Strong start to second quarter by Oklahoma City with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on bench, and now Jalen Williams has settled down.
Also, no Ajay Mitchell minutes. Not even any Kenrich Williams minutes. It has been a nine-man rotation so far for Mark Daigneault. – 8:44 PM

Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Really good screen by Cason Wallace, didn’t slip it and got contact to let SGA get downhill. Big difference from Game 1. – 8:13 PM

Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
The Thunder are staying small to open Game 2
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Lu Dort
Cason Wallace
Jalen Williams
Chet Holmgren
They will bring Isaiah Hartenstein off the bench. – 7:35 PM
