Panimalos ang tuyo sa Oklahoma City Thunder samtang ang Indiana Pacers gustong pamatud-an nga di tsamba ang ilang daog sa Game 2 sa National Basketball Association (NBA) Finals karong adlawa, Hunyo 9, 2025, didto sa Oklahoma City.
Gipakuratan sa Pacers ang inilog nga Thunder sa Game 1 pinaagi sa makabungog nga itsa ni Tyrese Haliburton nga maoy misilyo sa 111-110 nga kadaogan sa Indiana.
Pero andam na ang Thunder nga mobangon ug mobalos sa Game 2 human sila mauwawi atubangan sa ilang fans sa ila mismong korte.
Si Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, nga niscore og 38 puntos sa unang duwa, giandam na ang iyang kaugalingon ug ang team nga dili na mausab ang kapildihan.
"I let the game go as soon as I learn the lessons from it, as soon as I watch film. I take what I need to take from it, and we do as a group," ingon niya. "After that, I let it go, because the lessons are learned. There's nothing else you can do. The team has the same demeanor."
Ang coach sa Thunder nga si Mark Daigneault nagtan-aw niini isip usa ka kahimtang nga nagpalig-on sa team.
"The playoffs take you to the limit," matod niya. "They put your back against the wall -- in games, in series. If you make it this far, you have to endure to do that. It gives you rich experiences that you can draw on. The biggest experience we've had is understanding that every game's a new game. The most important of the series is always the next one, regardless of the outcome."
Sa laing bahin, ang Pacers, andam usab nga padayonon ang ilang momentum ug ipakita nga dili lang sila basta underdog.
"That's been our thing the whole year, even at the beginning of the playoffs," ingon ni Obi Toppin. "Everybody got the other team winning every single game. We just go out there and always do what we do."
Ang kusog ug kaisog sa Pacers naggikan sa ilang playoff experience sa miaging tuig, diin ilang napildi ang mga powerhouse sama sa Bucks ug Knicks.
"You come into the year with all the talk around how it was a fluke," ingon ni Haliburton. "You have an unsuccessful first couple months and now it's easy to for everyone to clown you and talk about you in a negative way, and I think as a group we take everything personal. ... I feel like that's the DNA of this group." / RSC
