The Oklahoma City Thunder “sucked” in a sloppy, lopsided game six loss to the Indiana Pacers, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander said, but he’s confident they have what it takes to claim the title in Game 7.

“The way I see it, we sucked tonight,” Gilgeous-Alexander, the reigning NBA Most Valuable Player, said after the Thunder’s bid to close out the Pacers ended in a 108-91 defeat in Indianapolis.

Averaging more than 30 points per game in the finals, Gilgeous-Alexander scored just 21 to go along with four rebounds, two assists and eight of the Thunder’s 21 turnovers.

“Some of them, I think, was carelessness, not being as focused, not being engaged,” he said of the Thunder’s uncharacteristic turnovers.

Gilgeous-Alexander’s eight turnovers were more than his seven baskets, but Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said the defeat was on the entire team.

Gilgeous-Alexander admitted that the chance of clinching the franchise’s first title since it relocated to Oklahoma City in 2008 was “definitely in the back of our minds.”

But he didn’t think he and his Thunder teammates — who ousted the Denver Nuggets with a lopsided game-seven win in their Western Conference semifinal series — needed to find something new.

“I don’t feel like I have to do anything other than just be the best version of myself,” Gilgeous-Alexander said.

“I think that goes for everyone else in the room. We just have to bring what we bring to the table, what we’ve brought to the table all year.

“One game for everything you ever dreamed of,” he added. “If you win it, you get everything. If you lose it, you get nothing. It’s that simple.” (Agence France-Presse)
