NBA Oklahoma City’s first championship… Gilgers-Alexander MVP
Oklahoma City Thunder was the first to reach the top of the NBA.
Oklahoma City beat Indiana Pacers 103-91 in the 7th game of the 2024 ~ 2025 NBA championship match (7 games and 4 wins) held at the Oklahoma City Paycom Center in Oklahoma, USA on the 23rd. Oklahoma City lags to 47-48 in the first half, but after taking the lead in 81-68 in the third quarter, he did not miss the victory until the end. Oklahoma City, which had the highest scores (68 wins and 14 losses and 0.829 odds) in the regular season, proved to be champion qualifications.
This is the first time Oklahoma City has reached the top of the NBA under the name and team name. Oklahoma City took over the Seattle Super Sonic Squad in 2008 and re -established it after moving the site. Including the predecessor, Seattle Supersonics, it has won 46 years since the 1978-1979 season, but the NBA Secretariat or the club is not recognized as a team that inherited Seattle Super Sonix.
The best player (MVP) before the championship decision was won by Ace Shay Gilgers-Alexander. He was also active in 29 points and 12 assists and 5 rebounds in the game. Gilgers-Alexander won the regular season scoring king (32.7 points) and MVP awards as well as the Champ War MVP. According to this ESPN, the second player who won both the 26-year-old scorer and the regular league and championship MVP in the NBA history is the second year after Karim Abduljaba (23). LeBron James, Michael Jordan and Shaquille O’Neill achieved ‘Triple Crown’ at the age of 27. Gilgers-Alexander will soon be contracting with the club with $ 293.4 million for four years.
On the other hand, Indiana, who challenged her first championship after participating in the NBA in 1976, remained in the runner -up without overcoming the bad news, such as the Ace Tylis Harley button left due to an Achilles tendon injury in the first quarter. Indiana won the championship in 25 years, following the runner -up of the 1999-2000 season, but again drank.
