Charles Barkley Is Going ‘Crazy’ at Pacers for Major Blunder After Thunder’s Pivotal Move

Charles Barkley didn’t hold back after the Indiana Pacers blew a winnable game in the NBA Finals. With the Thunder trailing late, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander took over, dropping 35 points to carry Oklahoma City to a 111-104 win. Barkley, fuming on the broadcast, slammed the Pacers’ late-game decisions.

“They gave it away,” Barkley said, pointing to Indiana’s failure to feed Pascal Siakam, their best isolation scorer. “They didn’t even run a play for him!” While OKC leaned on their superstar, the Pacers looked disoriented with the game on the line.

Despite solid performances from Siakam (20 pts, 8 reb) and Haliburton (18 pts, 7 ast), Barkley’s frustration mirrored that of Pacers fans. In contrast, OKC’s execution was clinical — Jalen Williams added 27 points and Chet Holmgren dominated the boards with 15 rebounds.

Barkley’s takeaway? “The Pacers blew this game. Period.”
