Oklahoma City Thunder was crowned an extraordinary season by beating Indiana Besars 103-91 in the game 7 of the American Professional League finals to win the first title of excellence since the move from Seattle in 2008.
Gilgos-Alexander’s tea, the most valuable in the league, led the scoring scoring against a loud crowd at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, with 29 points and 12 decisive passes in the decisive match on Sunday.
He also crowned the best player in the finals, as he occupied the first time since Shakil O’Neill in 2002 that the same player won the goal of scoring, normal and artistic season MVP.
The Pacers team suffered a big blow when the Star Haliburton goalkeeper lost in the middle of the first quarter by injuring Achilles and witnessed their hopes of their title by the defense of Oklahoma City suffocating in the second half.
“He doesn’t feel realistic,” said Gilgos Alcander. “Long hours, many moments, many feelings, many nights of disbelief, and many nights of belief.
“This group works hard. This group was placed in hours, and we deserve this,” he added.
The tournament was crowned with an unusual thunder operation, which ended the normal season number 68-14, and is good for the fifth largest win in the American Professional League.
The finals between two teams in the small market were light on Power Star Power but were delivered to the excitement, as the Paces Bustern Conference Surpress team to the best league team to the winning final.
Pacers went out on the right track where Haliburton drained the third indicator of a five -minute away from the game, but tonight took a terrible turn for Indiana when he slipped and fell after two minutes.
Every star was twice crying while his team’s team rushed to his side, and the silence fell on the building full of Oklahoma City fans.
Haliburton was assisted in the treasury room but no longer, and although there was no official update from the team, a television broadcast reported that he was injured Achilles.
The flexible Pacers team kept the game narrow during the second material quarter, as it made a great defensive effort to finish the half by one.
However, thunder quickly dominated Gilgeous-alexander, who went 0-5 behind the bow in the first half, which led to the lighting of the valves with a jump of three points 25 feet in the third quarter.
The Pacers team was the late return masters in the post-season, but without Haliburton, they were unable to deficit, with thunder opening in the fourth quarter with 9-0.
Young heroes struggle
Thunder youth were evident in their celebration yet.
“No one knew how to open it,” said Ashaya Hartnstein, Al -Raad, about the festive champagne bottles after the match.
They learned soon, thanks to Alex Caroso, who is the oldest of them, both the oldest player and the only player in the team that has previously won the American Professional League title.
“AC (caruso) did a great job in giving us an educational program,” said Hartnstein.
Thunder youth came with no consistency at times.
“The entire round, I tried to help the players to be who we are, and that’s all we need to be from us,” said Al -Raad coach.
Paces remains without the American Professional League title.
It was possible to be worse for Pacers if not for the TJ McConnell point goalkeeper, who scored 12 points per third, as he reached six of the eight field goals in Indiana in the frame.
Bennedict Mathurin led the Pacers team to the game with 24 points of the bench. Pascal Siakam and McConnell added 16 for each of them.
Thunder became the first team to score 100 points or more in the American Professional League Finals match 7 since 1988, when Los Angeles Lakers defeated Detroit Bestone 108-105.
Caroso, who played for the Los Angeles Lakers title for 2020, said he hoped to pay it again on the road.
“We will get a rest, and we try to do this again next year,” Carroso said. “We will be the best (in that) next year.”
