Even with the discrepancy in reffing st times, the Pscers have the lead. Pretty impressive.

Crazy he hadn't gotten to the line yet.

Well he doesn't put pressure on the second line of defense, instead opting for floaters

The big lineup might ironically cost OKC this game...If they really go back to it to start the 2nd, I think this game is over.

If not, OKC is definitely right there.

Dort is reckless, he's not malicious from what I see, but he forgets what sport this is.

Oh trust me he knows what he does when he throws those hidden elbows and undercuts jump shooters and dunkers. Its consistent. If you think he isnt dirty you have to think the same of Draymond.

17 free throws to 13. Pacers with 9 turnovers, several of which were live ball and yet the Thunder look really bad. Only really getting solid contributions from Shai, JDub, Caruso and Kenrich Williams of all people. Need more guys to step up.

OKC is getting thoroughly out coached this entire series. It's not even close.

They're being so aggressive and getting into the paint. Jalen Williams has destroyed the Pacers. Every OKC player is being aggressive and driving and looking to go up. When the Pacers manage to get into the lane, they shoot fade aways, pick up their dribble or jump in the air to pass.

I think that was Hali's wife. I have it on mute. Pacers fans will know.

Firing Thibs for losing to this team is going to haunt the Knicks. I know he has his faults but he's a solid coach.

Wouldn't it be funny if Knicks asked Thibs to return and he, too, declined?
