SGA says Thunder have what it takes to rebound from game one heartbreaker
- The Oklahoma City Thunder lost Game 1 of the NBA Finals to the Indiana Pacers 111-110 in Oklahoma City on June 6, 2025.
- The Thunder held a 15-point lead early in the fourth quarter but allowed Indiana to rally, culminating in Tyrese Haliburton's last-second pull-up basket.
- Star player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 38 points and emphasized sticking to their principles while treating the game like any other despite the narrow defeat.
- Gilgeous-Alexander emphasized that the outcome depends on winning four games total, not just one, and stressed the importance of rebounding to secure those four wins before the Pacers reach three.
- The Thunder's previous comeback from a similar narrow loss to the Denver Nuggets suggests they have the resilience to respond after this loss in the Finals opener.
