Thunder get spark needed from bench players to level series against Pacers

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander flashed his MVP form in a game the Okjlahoma Thunder badly needed a victory.

The explosive guard unloaded 34 points, dished out eight assists and stole the ball four times while Alex Caruso came off the bench and produced 20 markers as the Thunder struck back with a 123-107 triumph in Game 2 of their best-of-seven championship series and even up their title duel Sunday night (Monday morning in Manila) at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma Ciy.

The Thunder paid a more conscious effort in crashing the boards, grabbing 43 caroms, which were eight more than heir rivals.

Oklahoma shot 14 treys, nine of those were delivered by Caruso and Aarion Wiggins combined.
