In a rematch of the NBA Finals of last year, Oklahoma City won by a career-high 55 points over the Indiana Pacers.

The reigning NBA MVP finished with a 141-136 victory over the reigning champions. He added eight rebounds and five assists.

The league was shook by an FBI investigation into illegal sports betting and a poker ring connected to organized crime just hours after.

The Canadian guard once more proved crucial, surpassing his previous career-best of 54 points to score nine points in the second overtime.

Gilgeous-Alexander praised “this team’s two outstanding qualities.”

It is aware of how to remain present and comprehends that the season’s beginning and end are equally significant.

The Thunder won the first game of the campaign to go into double overtime.

While Indiana suffered another injury blow on Thursday with the loss of guard Andrew Nembhard due to a shoulder injury in the second quarter, they have been without star guard Tyrese Haliburton, who tore his Achilles tendon in June.
