Alexander Breaks Durant's Record, But Fourth-Quarter Collapse Costs Thunder in Game 3
In Game 3 of the 2025 NBA Finals, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander struggled under intense pressure from the Indiana Pacers. Although he scored 24 points, grabbed 8 rebounds, and added 4 assists and 3 blocks, his 6 turnovers and only 3 points in the fourth quarter proved costly as the Thunder lost the game and fell behind 1–2 in the series. Still, Shai made history by surpassing Kevin Durant’s franchise playoff scoring record with 572 points in a single postseason.
In Game 3 of the 2025 NBA Finals, the Oklahoma City Thunder suffered a tough road loss to the Indiana Pacers, as star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander experienced his most underwhelming playoff performance yet. Facing suffocating defense, Shai still managed to put up 24 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 blocks—but also committed 6 turnovers and scored just 3 points in the fourth quarter.
While Shai kept the Thunder competitive through the first three quarters—leading the charge with 21 points and reclaiming the lead in the third—the offense faltered late. The Pacers surged back in the fourth, and Shai’s late-game struggles proved decisive. Despite the loss, he etched his name in Thunder history by surpassing Kevin Durant’s single-postseason franchise scoring record of 570 points, with a total of 572 and counting.
