The Oklahoma City Thunder decisively vanquished the Indiana Pacers 123-107 in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, levelling the series at 1-1, a victory spearheaded by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's virtuoso 34-point performance complemented by Alex Caruso’s incisive contribution of 20 points from the second unit, thereby securing the franchise's first Finals triumph since 2012; the Pacers, notwithstanding their Game 1 victory, proved unable to muster a cohesive riposte, even a fleeting third-quarter resurgence notwithstanding, and now bear the dubious distinction of being the first team since Miami in 2013 to lack a single 20-point scorer across the initial two contests, whilst Gilgeous-Alexander, eclipsing his contemporaries, has ascended to the apex of playoff scoring charts as the series now migrates to Indianapolis for Game 3, thus heralding the city's inaugural Finals fixture in a quarter-century.
