Shai Gilgeous-Alexander After Losing Game 6: 'The Better Team Sunday Will Win'

Thursday night’s Game 6 saw the Oklahoma City Thunder lose 108-91 to the Indiana Pacers, as it was one of the most one-sided blowouts seen in this series to date. At one point, OKC was losing by 31 points.

Gilgeous-Alexander said they need to “learn the lessons” from Game 6 after seeing the team commit 21 turnovers and 38% from the field during the first three quarters of the game. OKC sat their starters for the entire fourth quarter.

“We need to learn the lessons, and we have one game for everything we worked for, and so do they,” said Shai Gilgeous-Alexander about the upcoming Game 7. “The better team Sunday will win.”

Shai had eight of the 21 turnovers, the worst in a single game in at least 40 years. Fans saw him only complete two assists.

“Some of them I just think was carelessness and not being focused and not being engaged,” Gilgeous-Alexander said when asked about the turnovers.

The 26-year-old said the team got distracted possibility of winning a title in Game 6:

“That’s why the night went the way that it did. We got exactly what we deserved, what we earned. We have to own that.”

Game 7 is on Sunday.
