Indiana is going to have to start fining Haliburton for every pass he makes. His passivity is disgusting.

Dort was a sub 30% 3pt shooter his rookie year. Credit to him and the OKC staff for turning him(self) into a 40+% 3pt shooter.

Pleased with the effort from Indy so far. They've upped the aggression on both ends.

SGA is going to break this defense eventually if the Thunder can hit their 3s.

Uh oh Caitlin Clark just got TV time in the NBA finals. Angel Reese will now say "you know, she's not the only woman worth showing on TV".

I'm not encouraged by McConnell. He's serviceable, but he shrinks.

Indy is fouling, they have to be smarter than that. Dort/Caruso are physical but they don't extend their arms like that. Indy did this I believe in Game 2 too, givign OKC bonus FT's. Gotta stop that

Nesmith still hasn't been heard from much in this series. He's been awesome all playoffs. Perhaps the ankle is still a big problem.
