The upcoming matchup promises to be another intense battle. The Thunder will look to bounce back after surrendering a late lead in Game 1, while the Pacers, riding momentum and confidence, aim to steal another win on the road. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is leading the charge again for the Thunder, while Jalen Williams must provide strong two-way support to maintain pace. For the pacers, Tyrese Haliburton‘s consistent clutch moment heroics can challenge their opponent. However, Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner remain key contributors.
