Alexander is too strong! He became the first in the total score list of the first two games in the finals in NBA history

On June 9, in Game 2 of the 2025 NBA Finals, Thunder’s superstar Jason Alexander once again proved why he was one of the greatest players of his era. Faced with the tenacious resistance of the Indiana Pacers, Alexander scored 34 points in the game, leading the defeat of his opponent, and tied the total score 1-1. Alexander sets a new NBA record.

This victory allowed Alexander to set a new NBA record. In the first two games of the Finals, he scored 38 points and 34 points, with a total score of 72 points, surpassing the 71-point record set by Allen Iverson in 2001 and becoming the player with the most total scores in the first two games of the Finals in NBA history.

Pacers head coach Carlisle also highly praised Alexander's performance: "We tried various defensive strategies, but none of them could limit him completely. He was able to score at any position and never feared critical moments. This is the trait of a great player. "

It is worth mentioning that while setting a record, Alexander also continued his stable performance in the playoffs this season. In the 18 playoff games that have been played, he averaged 32.5 points, 7.8 assists and 6.3 rebounds per game, shooting 49.8% from the field and 38.6% from three-pointers. Such data has made him the best player in the playoffs this season and has also brought him one step closer to his first championship.

However, the Pacers obviously won't give in easily. Role players like McConnell and Turner also have a steady play, and the young Pacers have proven their ability to compete with any strong team.

In any case, Alexander has proved with his performance in the first two games that he is writing his own legendary chapter. As he said in a post-match interview: "The record is for breaking, but I only have one goal, that is the championship."
