There were def some sketchy pro-Shai calls and non-calls at the end, but… the Pacers lost this game at the line as much as anything. Too many big misses.

Gut check win from OKC. They showed a lot of heart. Even getting the Nesmith switch who has struggled with both J-Dub and SGA. Carlisle probably should have given Mathurin more tick.

Doris Burke should never ever do a finals again.

Another note - the female broadcaster is awful. I miss Mark Jackson + Jeff Van Gundy

Sucks. This was Indy's best chance at taking stranglehold of the series. Sucks that we're looking at a weak-ass OKC team as the likely champs. This is an L for the league.

Terrible play by the Pacers. Props to the Thunder and Shai down the stretch, simply too much poise and skill for the Pacers to handle.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Neither does Haliburton though.

Feels like whenever OKC really needed points down the stretch of this game they got to the FT line... really starting with that SGA foul bait jumper when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

This isn’t series over for IND. it’s just a close game they pulled out as IND couldn’t make timely buckets. It happens.

Big OKC win if they hold on to the lead.

I disagree. I thought the okc defense was phenomenal in the 4th, pacers didn't have any easy shots. Chet was especially good___Rand___ wrote:TheGOATRises007 wrote:This 1 is over
Indiana couldn't score at all in the 4th
Pacers had looks. They couldn't make the shots. They started missing at the end of 3rd. And they kept missing them. Now the guys are shy to take shots.

Wow.
So, OKC wins a close game on the road.
That's impressive. Series going back to OKC tied 2-2.

That was 4, no? Rockets fan, I was watching.

Is invisible for 3/4 quarters most games.
What he did tonight was gross. Dude has the whole team do the heavy lifting for 3 quaters and then decides to spam hero ball. Nasty work.

7 missed FTs in a 4 point game may haunt Indy.
Pressure.
Fundamentals are sexy.
They were at 83% before he missed two in a row, still at 77%, not going to shoot 100% most games, but those last two of course hurt a lot
