The OKC Thunder and Indiana Pacers resume their NBA Finals matchup at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Wednesday. The Pacers stole home court with a 111-110 win in Game 1 after an improbable comeback, which ended with Tyrese Haliburton's go-ahead shot and eventual game-winner with 0.1 seconds left.

It didn't take much for the Thunder to bounce back, though. OKC roared back with a 123-107 win in Game 2, doubling down on its efforts from the first three quarters of Game 1. The Thunder seemed unplayable in every facet, forcing 15 turnovers.

MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continued his scorching postseason run with a 34-point, eight-assist game, while Alex Caruso and Aaron Wiggins added a combined 38 points off the bench. Caruso and Wiggins' production decided the game, as Indiana didn't have similar contributions from its bench.

The starters also didn't impact the box scores much until the fourth quarter. The Pacers made another push for a late comeback but ultimately failed.
