In Game 2 of the Finals, the Oklahoma City Thunder played truer to their identity, using a two-way performance to coast to a double-digit win over the Pacers. One Indiana wouldn't be able to come back from.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander played like his MVP self, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams returned to co-star form, and the Thunder defense was able to more effectively limit the Pacers' high-octane offense.

The Pacers nabbed Game 1 in striking fashion, with star guard Tyrese Haliburton nailing a last-second jumper to put Indiana ahead for the first time all game with just 0.3 on the clock. Now, the series is tied, 1-1, heading back to Indiana.

Here’s how X, formerly known as Twitter, reacted to Game 2 of the Finals:
