3:32pm, 9 June 2025【Basketball】

On June 9, in the NBA Finals G2, the Thunder defeated the Pacers 123-107 at home, tied the total score to 1-1. Alexander played an all-round performance in this game, playing for 36 minutes, making 11 of 21 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, 11 of 12 free throws, scoring 34 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals and 1 block. Alexander created several miracles, while he was a big lead in Halliburton in the finals MVP odds list.

Alexander scored 38 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals in the first game of the finals, but his 30 shots occupied too much of the shooting proportion and had few assists. In this game, Alexander delivered a more efficient and all-round performance. He scored 34 points in 21 shots and 8 assists to revitalize the team's offense. He scored 11 points in 12 free throws, regaining the scoring method he is most familiar with.

Alexander scored 72 points in the first two games of the Finals, surpassing Jordan in 1991 (69 points) and Iverson in 2001 (71 points) to set a new record in NBA history. Alexander scored 30+ nine consecutive home games in the playoffs, drawing Chamberlain's history in the NBA playoffs.

Alexander scored 30 points and 5 assists for the 11th time in a single playoffs, tied with Jordan and James to tie for first place in history. James achieved this achievement in the 2014-15 season, 2016-17 season and 2017-18 season. Jordan achieved this achievement in the 1988-89 season and 1989-90 season.

Alexander's total regular season + playoff score exceeded 3,000 points, becoming the 12th player in NBA history to achieve this achievement. If we count from the merger of the NBA and the ABA in 1976, Alexander is the fourth MVP player to achieve this achievement, with the top three MVPs being Jordan, O'Neal and Durant.

In the finals MVP odds list, Alexander ranked first with -450 (principal 450, if hit, with 550, if hit, with 550), Halliburton +550 (principal 100, if hit, with 650), Siakam +1400, third, Jaylen Williams and Nemhard tied for fourth place, Homgren +6600, sixth place, Turner +10000, seventh place, Caruso +30000, eighth, Dort +40000, ninth, Nesmith +50000, tenth.
