The first 50 points of the new season! The Thunder went to overtime and narrowly defeated the remaining Pacers!

The NBA regular season continues today, and the Oklahoma City Thunder ushered in another game against the Indiana Pacers.

This game was very intense, which was a bit unexpected. The Pacers are actually in ruins. Their core player Haliburton ruptured his Achilles tendon in last season's finals and was reimbursed for the season. In addition, the Pacers' main center Turner has transferred to the Milwaukee Bucks, and key rotation players such as McConnell are also absent due to injuries.

But the Thunder still played very hard, and they failed to get away from their opponents throughout the game. At the critical moment of the fourth quarter, the Pacers launched a 35-32 attack in a single quarter, dragging the game into overtime.

In overtime, the Thunder's core player Alexander began to exert his strength. He continued to cause fouls for his opponents and stood on the free throw line, but he still failed to open up the situation. Entering the second overtime, the Pacers were beginning to tire, while the Thunder, with a thick lineup, still had room to spare.

In the end, the Thunder defeated the Pacers 141-135. They played two overtime games at the beginning of the new season, which was not easy.

Alexander made 15 of 31 shots in the game, scored 55 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. He made 23 of 26 free throws from the free throw line, which was full of destructive power. Alexander is the first player in the NBA to score 50+ points in a single game this season. His combat effectiveness is indeed at the MVP level and he is difficult to guard.

The Pacers were also proud of their defeat. Haliburton looked very calm off the court, and he was also very satisfied with his teammates. Although the Pacers no longer have the possibility of the Eastern Conference Finals this season, they are still very tenacious and played a very good game.
