It’s clear that SGA is in no temper to underestimate the prowess of the Pacers and expects an attention-grabbing sport to unfold at Oklahoma’s Paycom Center come Thursday.
Talking concerning the unity with the Thunders, SGA added, “We have been as united as possible in a basketball team. The guys are very connected wherever we go… I think it’s something natural. I don’t think it was forced… It’s something you can’t take for granted. You never know how many times you can play on a team like this. Especially when basketball becomes a business and not just a kid running around.”
“To be the kind of person you want to be, I can’t behave like that or it will affect the rest of my team… I understand that I shouldn’t show it and I should use it as a weapon for myself. Showing it also gives a weapon to your opponent,” he stated.
The Thunder dominated the Pacers in each of the matchups throughout the common season. Indiana has been known as the underdogs of the collection, securing a gradual and regular climb to the highest, which marks the primary time they’ve reached the Finals since 2000 throughout Reggie Miller’s time on the roster.
The match shall be broadcast on ABC and ESPN+ at 8:30 PM ET.
