Alexander fought hard in double overtime and scored 55 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists (23 of 26 free throws). He continuously defeated many Pacers perimeter players. SGA ushered in a career night. The 55 points was his career single-game high and the fifth time in Thunder career that he had 50+ points. However, the biggest highlight of this game was not SGA but the referee.

In the last 22 seconds of the second overtime, after Toppin made a layup, he completed a steal directly in the frontcourt. At this time, the Pacers were only 4 points behind. After this frontcourt steal, a layup could be reduced to 2 points. However, at this time, the referee stopped the game and gave the Thunder a timeout. You can see Haliburton dancing angrily.

The three referees totaled up and found that two referees did not see Demport calling a timeout, but the referee at the bottom line said that he saw Demport calling a timeout. Then an official replay was conducted, and the replay showed that Demport did call a timeout, and there was no problem with the referee giving the timeout.

But the Pacers players and fans disagreed. They all felt that the referee was a black whistle. The fans in the audience shouted that the referee sucked, the referee sucked. Haliburton also expressed his dissatisfaction many times.

When the referee announced that there was no problem with the Thunder timeout, Haliburton showed his hands in anger. Many Pacers players were a little discouraged because they had tried so hard and still couldn't escape.

The Pacers had 37 fouls as a team, and Nesmith, Marcelin, and Shepard all had 6 fouls. After Nembhard retired from injury, the outsider continued to receive fouls when defending SGA. This is why the Pacers' home fans have been scolding the referee, not just because the referee gave the Thunder a timeout at the decisive moment.

The referee's call in the first game of Fire and Thunder also aroused heated discussion, that is, Durant's action of calling a timeout after the first overtime was not seen by the three referees. In this game, the referee corrected and saw it, and they were all criticized.
