Thunder strike back as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander dominates Game 2 to even NBA Finals against Pacers
The Oklahoma City Thunder didn't blow a lead to the Indiana Pacers this time, as they evened up the series at one apiece after a strong Game 2 win, 123-107. Last game, it was Tyrese Haliburton showcasing another bit of heroics with a last-second shot to win it for Indiana on the road in Game 1. But Haliburton, or any of his teammates, could get back into this game as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander & Co. ran up the score and kept it that way. The league's MVP had the right answer for the Pacers' wild come-from-behind victory in Game 1, going 11-of-21 from the floor and 11-of-12 from the charity stripe for a 34-point night to lead the game in that category. Gilgeous-Alexander also tallied eight assists, five rebounds, four steals and one block as he truly did it all on the court. The deep Thunder bench also provided some much-needed offense, as Alex Caruso had the hot hand from three-point range, hitting four of his eight attempts on his way to a 20-point night. Aaron Wiggins also added 18 points on an efficient 6-of-11 shooting with four rebounds to mark as well. In the starting five, Jalen Williams (19 points, five rebounds, five assists) and Chet Holmgren (15 points, six rebounds, one assist) also aided in the victory. Meanwhile, the Pacers struggled shooting from deep in this game, going 14-of-40 as a team (35%), which ultimately led to Oklahoma City pulling away in this one. Every Indiana starter had double-digit points, as the ball was spread around as it usually is in their offensive zone. Haliburton went 7-of-13 from the field for 17 points, but he was just 3-of-8 from beyond the arc. Myles Turner (16 points), Pascal Siakam (15 points, seven rebounds) and Andrew Nembhard (11 points) went a combined 3-of-13 from three-point territory, which has been uncharacteristic of them in these NBA Playoffs. The Thunder's largest lead in this game was 23, while the Pacers only led by three points during the contest. Of course, Indiana led by just 0.3 seconds last game after Haliburton's mid-range jumper rattled home. But on their home court, this is what many expected as the series heads back to Indiana on Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. tip-off.

Caitlin Clark Praised for Behavior Before Fever-Sky Rematch
Caitlin Clark Praised for Behavior Before Fever-Sky Rematch originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Saturday night could be a critical time for the Indiana Fever, not only because theyb have a chance to move back to .500 with a win over the Chicago Sky, but because they could be looking at their last game played without Caitlin Clark, as she recovers from a quad injury suffered against the Liberty on May 24. Advertisement After the injury was announced, the Fever said Clark would be re-evaluated in two weeks, and it's now been two weeks. Indiana plays next on Tuesday in Atlanta, and it is possible that Clark will be back on the floor for that one. Clark was not committing to playing on Tuesday, as she noted on Thursday. "I'll miss this weekend's game, but after that, it's day-by-day and see how I feel, and just turn to the medical staff and what they think," Clark said. "I feel like I've made a lot of progress and I feel good, and I'm not going to rush coming back. It's just not worth it. But after this weekend, I'll be reevaluated and we'll have a better idea of when I'll return." Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) signs autographs before a WNBA game against the Chicago Sky at United Center. Mandatory Credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Still, she was on hand for the Fever's game in Chicago, which had been moved to the NBA's United Center in anticipation of a record crowd--before Clark's injury. And as a stream of Fever fans approached her, Clark (as well as fellow injured guard Sophie Cunningham) spent the better part of an hour signing autographs for fans and taking pictures. Fans heaped praise on Clark. Advertisement "People's choice as always. Unreal aura," one fan wrote. "Look at all those fans and she's trying her hardest to give all of them a little attention," another added. Another wrote, "CC is one of the nicest people. Always supports her fans." "And this is why @CaitlinClark22 is so loved," another commented. The W is lucky ot have her, one added: "She's carrying the entire league, in every city on her back. The WNBA was given an unbelievable gift." Don't forget Cunningham, of course, as the Indy Star's Chloe Peterson pointed out. Even with two of their best players sidelined with injury and even with coach Stephanie White out for personal reasons, the Fever held a 41-28 lead at halftime.

Why Caitlin Clark Refused to Sign Fan's Shirt on Saturday
Why Caitlin Clark Refused to Sign Fan's Shirt on Saturday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Since her arrival on the women's basketball scene, going back to her time at Iowa, even before she was the No. 1 pick by the Indiana Fever in the WNBA draft in 2024, Caitlin Clark understood the value of connecting with fans. She struggled to get her head around her job as a role model, but she was diligent about seeing to that duty. Advertisement As she said early last year, "It's hard for myself to wrap my head around (being a role model). It's crazy the way people scream my name and really support us. I try to make time for as many of them as I can. That's something that never gets old.' Clark has always seen bringing people together, on and off the floor, as part of her role. 'This isn't an individual sport," she said. "I have four other people on the court with me at the same time, I have 10 other girls on the bench. ... I don't have to score a million points every single night and I think I find peace in that. When I'm having fun and just being Caitlin, that's when things are really successful.' Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) applauds her teammates during the first half of a WNBA game against the Chicago Sky at United Center. Mandatory Credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images But while Clark remains known for being big-hearted, she does have some boundaries. She has been out for the past two weeks because of a quad injury--the first missed time because of injury in her career--but she has still been showing up at Fever games as she rehabs. Advertisement She was on hand at the United Center on Saturday night for the Fever's victory over the Chicago Sky, and spent considerable time before the game signing autographs and taking photos with fans who had come to watch her play. But she drew the line on one thing: She was not about to autograph Sky materials. That was shown in a video on X from Saturday in which Clark signed a string of autographs only to smile and pass on signing what appeared to be a Chicago Sky-colored shirt. A post from the account, "The Indiana Fever," noted, "Caitlin Clark refused to sign the Chicago Sky merch." The fan who had tried to get her to do so, it should be pointed out, laughed it off. Advertisement Clark is hopeful of returning to the court this week, with the Fever's next game coming Tuesday in Atlanta. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 9, 2025, where it first appeared.
