SGA already knows this series is a wrap. He is just trying to secure his finals MVP

Only 5 shots at the rim for Indy vs 16 for OKC.

I said this before the game and it has absolutely rang true.

I don’t know how you have 19 turnovers at the half on the road and are only down this much. It’s absolutely insane. In the Finals.

20 first half turnovers. If you're Indiana, you can't play any worse than that.

Again, the turnover battle is about as lopsided as it gets. OKC's inability to consistently hit 3s outside of Dort is what's giving a Pacers still a chance.

At this TOV rate, SGA may get more FGAs than IND.

OKC besides Dort playing like ass. So many makeable shots missed.

Dort is incredible though. Dominating both ends.

Give me a break. More like OKC may be the best.

You’re joking right? They’ve almost forced 20 turnovers and they’re only up 10. They’ve taken like 15 more shots and only up 10

So maybe prior chip teams would kill them. They can’t score

Yeah I think the guy you replied to may have started watching basketball in the last 3 years if he thinks this OKC team is the best ever.

Thunder should be up 30 they’ve missed too many open shots.

Not over but Indiana needs a run. OKC just looks faster with better hands right now, they're deflecting everything.

OKC can just swipe and get the steal.

Even INDs ballhandlers are just overwhelmed.
