Why does Siakam have that hitch in his free throw

I see OKC grabbing too though they just don’t call it

Seven turnovers already for the Pacers.

Bryant looked confused that was a foul. Guess he didn't see any of the first eleven and a half minutes.

Not a good first quarter but we scored more than 20 points, at least.

SGA has been subpar and Indiana still lost the quarter by 8.
Terrible news for the Pacers and great news for OKC.

Coach's 1st Key to the Game:
> Pacers have to improve holding on to the ball as they move on offense and catching the ball
> Pacers have to improve holding on to the ball as they move on offense and catching the ball
Equanimity, peace, harmony and conscientiousness, friends

Look if Dort is going to shoot like this, damn near impossible to beat OKC. I mean, these aren't even wide open like some of his previous games.

overall i would say a poor 1st quarter for indy. no home game adrenaline to come out the gate and take a lead. now okc is completely settled in. indy must keep this within 10 when the 4th starts to have a chance.

OKC is just too consistent. If you start slow they take that lead and don't give it back. Indy's slow starts and occasional hiccups just play into OKC's hands.

Don’t think Lou Dort will keep shooting 100% from 3 though.

What you call turnovers are actually uncalled fouls mostly.

Turner doesn't look like he has it today. Chet has been destroying him

So SGA got called for a foul first min of the game and then the refs are too afraid to call a 2nd on him when he has fouled multiple times. Nice to have that in your back pocket doesn't it.

A+ Q1 from Chet but Shai needs to play better.
