Lots of heroes for the Pacers in this G3 win. This is how you build a comepetitive/title contending team in the modern NBA. No elite superstar but 8-10 man deep.

Carlisle running laps around Daignault with his rotations

He had a great start and then OKC sat him for a really long stretch and then we got the James Harden SGA one v all offense.

See how much the Thunder can dig deep though look tired. Only one day off between next game too.

The Pacers are the more physical team tonight

Can we stop with the Chet v Wemby comparisons ?

Chet is not in the same hempisphere let alone universe as Wemby.

In fact I don't think he is as good as Alpie Sengun either..

So overrated

Yep. And it's paying off big for us.

Mark D should have called TO sooner to get his guys a breather

Okc looks mad gassed. All of em immediately go to the hands on knee rest after the whistle

Indiana has just worn OKC down. They just seem so much fresher

We all wanted to see how the Thunder would play in a close game on the road, but more specifically how Daigneault would coach. He's been shaky all playoffs. They're getting smashed on the boards in this quarter, where is Hartenstein?

How are the refs screwing the Pacers so badly even for a Pacers home game? That should’ve been an and-1 on the Toppin follow and there was hardly any foul on Turner on the moving screen they called.

Obi is unplayable on any other team. It's this style of play he fits into.

OKC isn't ready yet.

They are the more playoff experienced team, mentally tuffer, better coached.

OKC talent can still win this. But Indy is very good in close games.

Both teams are extremely deep. Maybe teams will start focusing on depth again

Ive seen multiple times this postseason where Obi looks so good dunking it they dont call obvious hacks against him.

Maybe because they're getting more of their own medicine than they're used to. Opponents are usually worn out themselves by this point.

Well this game is over.

Mark D needs to let go his love of small ball.

There's no point in playing basically, 4 guards and a big.

Omg you guys who wins Game 3??
