Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Game 7 Masterclass: How the MVP Sealed an Unbelievable Thunder Triumph Over the Pacers
Jalen Williams struggled mightily in the first half, with five points on 2-of-7 shooting. Chet Holmgren didn’t look in rhythm, either.
The Pacers did a much better job in Game 6 at corralling SGA in the pick-and-roll, but he found space getting downhill once again in Game 7. He finished the first half with 16 points, seven assists and four rebounds and that understated his impact. Any half-court possession that wasn’t predicated on SGA creating an advantage ended in disaster.
Gilgeous-Alexander didn’t slow down in the second half, finishing with 29 points, 12 assists and just one turnover on the way to earning NBA Finals MVP honors. It was the crowning achievement for an all-time season.
