SGA drops 55 as OKC sweats out another 2OT win
INDIANAPOLIS — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander let out a long exhale as he sat and leaned back in his chair in the postgame interview room Thursday night. The Oklahoma City Thunder had just finished their second straight double-overtime game to begin the season, something no other team in NBA history had ever done.
And for the second straight contest, the Thunder pulled off the victory, outlasting the Indiana Pacers 141-135 in a rematch of last season's NBA Finals, which Oklahoma City won in an epic seven-game series in June.
"I'm tired, but it's expected," said Gilgeous-Alexander, who set a career high with 55 points. "It's a good way to break the ice on the season, shake the rust off, kind of bust the lungs up, get my cardio back."

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander drops career-high 55 points as Thunder beat Pacers in second straight double-OT game
The Oklahoma City Thunder keep on making history — though maybe not in the way they'd like. With a narrow 141-135 double-overtime win against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday, the Thunder became the first time in NBA history to head to double-OT — and win — in each of the first two games of the season.
The matchup carried a bit of extra juice, given that that two teams faced off in the 2025 NBA Finals this past summer. Back in June, the Thunder picked up the victory, defeating the Pacers in Game 7 to win their first outright title since moving to Oklahoma City.
