Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the heart of the Thunder’s response after their heartbreaking Game 1 loss. The All-NBA guard delivered a brilliant 34-point performance, going 11-of-21 from the field, and also tallying eight assists, five rebounds, and four steals. With that scoring output, he tied Wilt Chamberlain’s long-standing record for the most consecutive home playoff games with at least 30 points, nine in total."We used the opportunity to get better," Gilgeous-Alexander said during the ABC postgame interview. "We've done a really good job of that all year."Oklahoma City dismantled Indiana with a 123-107 win, outscoring them in the paint (42-34) and off the bench (48-34). The Thunder led by as much as 23 points in the contest, proving their resilience after a crushing one-point loss in Game 1. Despite a couple of short Pacers runs, the Thunder never let go of control.

"We did some things good tonight, we did some things bad," SGA admitted. "We've gotta be able to get better and get ready for Game 3.
