No one with the Oklahoma City Thunder was happy with how Thursday night’s Game 6 went.
The Thunder were hoping to end the night as champions; instead, they have one more date with the Indiana Pacers on Sunday.
Following the game, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander talked with the press about his opinion of things.
He wasn’t pleased.
“We sucked tonight,” Gilgeous-Alexander said, via ESPN.

This simply did not look like the usual Thunder team we are familiar with.
Gilgeous-Alexander tried with his 21 points, going 7-of-15 from the field, but only two other starters were in double digits.
Jalen Williams posted 16 points and Isaiah Hartenstein cracked 10.
Meanwhile, Chet Holmgren only posted four points and four rebounds, and Lu Dort was good for just three points.
Alex Caruso, who has been so reliable, didn’t score a single bucket, while Aaron Wiggins was cold with five, and Cason Wallace only put up two.
Isaiah Joe was able to chip in 11 points, but it just wasn’t enough.
The Pacers had complete control of this game and kept their championship hopes alive.
The good news for the Thunder is that they rarely stay down for long and have a great record of bouncing back after losing.
Plus, Game 7 will be held at home, so they have faith in themselves and their fans for Sunday.
If they don’t win, it’ll be one of the biggest shocks in Finals history.
They were heavy favorites entering this series, but the Pacers have shown what they can do, repeatedly.
According to their lead star, the Thunder sucked on Thursday, so now it’s time for redemption.
