Sure, OKC's MVP point guard, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, has scored 72 points over two finals games. And yes, the Thunder were dominant in Game 2. However, it's safe to say that what happened to the Knicks can happen to any Finals-caliber team — the Oklahoma City Thunder are no exception. 

Game 3 of the 2025 NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers is set for Wednesday, June 11, at 8:30 PM ET at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. With the Pacers at home, expect a tempo that OKC is unprepared to face. The Thunder are 5.5-point favorites. Don't trust those odds. Anything can and will happen tonight.
