In the sixth round of the 2024/25 NBA Finals, the Oklahoma City Thunder relied on Gilgeous-Alexander, Jaylen Williams and Isaiah Joe to contribute a lot of points, but they still lost to the Indiana Pacers 91-108 in the end, which also caused the suspense of the championship to be dragged on to the seventh round. Daignault said that this loss was a problem of the entire team, and they must improve comprehensively before the seventh round of the finals.

Gilgeous-Alexander contributed 21 points and two assists in the game, Jalen Williams scored 16 points and one assist, and Isaiah Joe added 11 points and one assist for the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Oklahoma City Thunder coach Daigneault said, "First of all, congratulations to the Indiana Pacers. I think they deserved to win that game. They played better than us for most of the 48 minutes. That's the way the game goes."

"They were the ones who took the initiative. Our performance was very abnormal and disappointing, but it was not a problem with a certain player, but a problem with the whole team. Whether it was offense or defense, we did not reach the level we should have. If we want to win the tiebreaker, we must improve in all aspects."

In addition, the Oklahoma City Thunder will face the Indiana Pacers again at home in the 7th round of the finals, and this is also the last chance for both sides to compete for the championship this season.

Daignolt continued, "It is an honor to be able to participate in the finals. Although the result of the game is disappointing, we are grateful for this opportunity. We have worked hard this season just to be able to play such a game at home, and we are excited to participate in the game in front of our home fans."

In addition, point guard Gilgeous-Alexander said, "We played badly and we have to learn from this game. Now there is only one game left, and we gave everything for this opportunity, and so did they. Whoever is better in the next game will win."

"We didn't show what we should have been capable of, and that's why the game turned out like this. We paid the price, and we deserved it, and we must take responsibility for it."
