SGA says Thunder will be ready for do-or-die Game 7 in NBA Finals
The Oklahoma City Thunder "sucked" in a sloppy, lopsided Game 6 loss against 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 MVP, said after the Thunder's bid to close out the Pacers ended in a 108-91 defeat in Indianapolis. Gilgeous-Alexander, who is averaging over 30 points per game in the series, scored just 21 to go along with four rebounds, two assists and eight of the Thunder's 21 turnovers in Game 6. "Some of them I think was carelessness, not being as focused, not being engaged," he said of the Thunder's uncharacteristic turnovers. "They played harder than us tonight as well. When a team plays harder, they turn the other team over." Gilgeous-Alexander's eight turnovers were more than his seven baskets, but Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said the defeat was on the entire team. "First of all, credit Indiana," Daigneault said. "I thought they obviously earned the win. They outplayed us for most of the 48 minutes. "That's the story of the game. They went out there and attacked the game. "From our standpoint, it was uncharacteristic," Daigneault added. "It was disappointing. It was collective. It wasn't one guy ... just we were not where we needed to be on either end of the floor for much of the game." 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." "Now, we didn't play like it at all," he added. "That's why the night went the way it did. We got exactly what we deserved, what we earned. We have to own that." But he does not think he and his Thunder teammates — who ousted the Denver Nuggets with a lopsided Game 7 win in the Western Conference semifinals — need to do anything 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."

Sophie Cunningham Sends Telling Message After Getting Ejected
Sophie Cunningham Sends Telling Message After Getting Ejected originally appeared on The Spun. Sophie Cunningham got the last word during Tuesday night's game between the Indiana Fever and Connecticut Sun, pulling Jacy Sheldon to the ground during the final minute of regulation. Advertisement This wasn't a random act of violence from Cunningham. It seemed like she was retaliating for the way Sheldon guarded Caitlin Clark. During the third quarter of Tuesday's game, Sheldon poked the former No. 1 pick in the eye. If that wasn't bad enough, Marina Mabrey shoved Clark to the ground. Even though Cunningham's foul on Sheldon was considered retaliation, Sun head coach Rachid Meziane had a huge issue with it. Meziane didn't just call Cunningham's decision "completely stupid," he had an issue with the referees ejecting Sheldon for how she responded to the foul. "When you are winning a game by 17 points and you doing this stupid foul, this is just disrespectful," Meziane told reporters. "I don't know how Jacy and Lindsay [got] rejected from the game when they did nothing."

(Photo by Ron Hoskins/NBAE via Getty Images)Cunningham made it clear that she's not going to apologize for her actions. Advertisement On Tuesday night, Cunningham posted a photo of her holding out her arms on her Instagram Story. It seemed like her way of trolling Sheldon and the Sun. "I knew Sophie was going to get that get back for Caitlin today. Sophie definitely getting ejected for that, but so what. Sophie is definitely the enforcer of this team," one fan said. "Sophie Cunningham was born to defend Caitlin Clark and the rest of her teammates. Enforcer Barbie," another fan wrote. The WNBA has not yet said if it'll discipline Cunningham for her actions. As of now, Cunningham is available to play against the Golden State Valkyries this Thursday. Advertisement The Fever and Sun will meet again on July 15. We'll see if there are any fireworks during the rematch.
