Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Game 7 Masterclass: How the MVP Sealed an Unbelievable Thunder Triumph Over the Pacers

For the Oklahoma City Thunder and their fans, this happened in the third quarter of a 103-91 win in Game 7 on Sunday night at the Paycom Center.

The Indiana Pacers, a team that will be the go-to example for overcoming adversity for every overzealous high school coach for the next two decades, simply would not go away.
