On the morning of June 23, the seventh game of the NBA Finals caused a storm at the Thunder's home court. In the life-and-death battle of "win or go home", the Thunder defeated the Pacers 103-91, winning the championship trophy for the first time in the team's history. In this dramatic contest, Halliburton's accidental retreat became a turning point, and Alexander, who performed at MVP, crowned the team with all-around data. The game was staged at the beginning of the game: the Pacers' outside giants were fully fired, Halliburton made three consecutive three-pointers and stopped the Thunder with one-man shot. Just when everyone thought the Pacers mode was going to dominate the game, the All-Star point guard suddenly fell to the ground without confrontation - the bad news of the ruptured Achilles tendon made the balance of the entire series tilt instantly. Amid the sighs on the bench, the Thunder seized the opportunity to complete the reversal, and Alexander sent 4 assists in a single quarter to ignite the home court.

The first half can be regarded as a collision between two basketball philosophy: 5 of the Pacers' 11 players were in rotation and scored in double digits, Nemhard scored a buzzer-beating three-pointer to allow the team to overtake; the Thunder relied on Alexander's single-core drive, and Caruso's iron-blooded defense repeatedly resolved the crisis. The turning point occurred in the third quarter, and the Thunder's bench exploded collectively: Jaylenway broke through continuously to cause damage, Homgren used a block to protect the penalty area, and Wallace's three-pointer ignited the whole game. When McConaughey scored 12 points alone to try to extend his life, the Thunder had established a 13-point advantage.

The fatal blow in the game occurred in the final quarter: Alexander took over the offensive and broke through, leading the team to a 8-0 attack wave to widen the gap to 20 points. The 25-year-old star's performance of 29 points, 12 assists and only 1 turnover completely shattered the Pacers' last hope. When the final whistle sounded, the scene of him kneeling and raising his arms was frozen into a classic - the O'Brien Cup was finally engraved with the name of Oklahoma.

In addition to the core players, the Thunder "Shock " also shines: Hartenstein incarnated "Defense black hole " and captured 9 key rebounds. 38-year-old veteran Caruso used 10 points and 3 steals to prove that the sword was not old. For the Pacers, Matherin's 23 points and Turner's 15 points were difficult to stop the decline, and the team's 13 mistakes became fatal injuries.

When Alexander held the FMVP trophy at the award ceremony, the big screen on the spot replayed the moment of Halliburton's injury - this ups and downs of tiebreak battle is destined to become the most heart-wrenching champion script in NBA history. For Thunder fans, this is not only a victory, but also a coronation ceremony for the city.
