The Oklahoma City Thunder decisively vanquished the Indiana Pacers 123-107 in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, leveling the series at one apiece, a contest illuminated by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s virtuoso 34-point performance and Alex Caruso's pivotal 20-point contribution from the second unit, thereby securing the franchise's first Finals victory since 2012; conversely, the Pacers, despite an ephemeral resurgence in the third quarter, proved incapable of replicating their Game 1 triumph, further distinguished by the dubious distinction of being the first team since Miami in 2013 to lack a 20-point scorer across the initial two Finals encounters, while Gilgeous-Alexander etched his name into the annals of basketball history by ascending to the apex of playoff scoring, as the series now shifts to Indianapolis for Game 3, heralding the city's inaugural Finals game in a quarter-century.
