Mathurin is the Pacers x-factor. He is able to match up athletically with these OKC players

TJ has been a mixed bag this postseason, but his energy has changed this game. Indy winning the non-Haliburton minutes is huge.

I miss the days Nurse used to run them with Raps.

And pressured McConnell too much that led to the drive by and easy basket for the timeout. 3 bone head mistakes

He averaged 16ppg this season. You really expect more from him on this kind of a team? Him playing more for Indiana has everything to do with defense and not being a ball-stopper on offense.

awful start from Shai/Cason and now JDub looks terrible too. It's basically Chet against the Pacers right now.
