Unacceptable game flow from the refs.

Truly wild amount of fouls called both ways.

Sga is a great player. I have him as the 2nd best player in the league but goddamn does he get everything in a favorable way. Gets the calls and is allowed to push off on every midrange attempt. You would think at least some of these push offs they would call when they’re so blatant like the one against Nesmith but no. It’s just frustrating to watch

Mathurin's three missed free throws and Indiana not wanting to do anything on offense late but play hot potato and keep passing it to Tyrese caused this loss.

Don't tell me the freethrow attempts were close. People saw the game. OKC were in the game because of the calls.


Choke.

Those two rebounds by Chet loom so large now. Two bad shots by SGA that were recovered. OKC won the rebound battle and won the game because of it.

Last 5 OKC possessions - how many raw baskets, how many fouls? Last 8? Get outta here...

I think the moral of the story for these finals games is quit leading before 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter.

Haliburton cares more about the finals MVP than the Larry OB.

He saw Pascal going off and said hell naw, I want that finals MVP.

Held the Pacers to 17 points in the 4th. Defense won OKC the game late.

Welp. Pacers let a 3-1 lead slip away. Now they are going back to Oklahoma giving OKC back homecourt advantage.
