The Thunder stepped on the gas in the second quarter, using a 35-9 run to open up a lopsided lead. Chet Holmgren made his presence felt after a lousy Game 1, scoring 15 points. Jalen Williams added 19, while Alex Caruso (20 points on 4-of-8 3-point shooting) and Aaron Wiggins (18 points on 5-of-8 3-point shooting) both had big games off the bench.

The Oklahoma City Thunder, days after letting go of a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter of Game 1, ensured that its once 23-point Game 2 lead couldn’t be overcome. That’s the kind of cushion required against these Indiana Pacers.
