In Game 2 of the Finals, the Thunder routed the Pacers 123-107 at home, evening the series 1-1. The team once again displayed its historical-level rebound ability, bouncing back from a buzzer-beater loss in Game 1 with a dominant 16-point victory.

Historical Resilience: A Track Record of Dominance

While Game 1's heartbreaking loss was disappointing, the Thunder are no strangers to oddball Game 1 defeats—their rebound prowess is legendary. With the NBA's second-youngest Finals roster (only Alex Caruso has previous Finals experience), fluctuations are natural, but their response is unparalleled. In the Western Conference semifinals against the Nuggets, they lost a bizarre Game 1 but won Game 2 by 43 points en route to a Game 7 victory.
