He's absolutely gassed. Pacers can break OKC with what they are doing to SGA if they can keep it up

Man, that was an absolutely massive 3 by Jalen Williams.

Horrible ending to the third by Indiana smh

Jalen Williams is super unlikeable. He has SGA to shield him now but on another team, he’d be ostracized.

Really good game. Glad I'm finally able to watch a full finals game and it's turning out to be a banger.

Why would you end the quarter with Hali and Siakam both on the bench?

OKC needs to find Giannis' weight training coach and just have him work with Chet all year round.

That man needs to get a whole lot tougher.

Huge 3 there. Strong quarter from JDub after a subpar first half.

J-Dub starting to cook which is bad news for the Pacers. He is the barometer for the Thunder in many ways

He’s plenty tough, but he’s a string bean.

Not sure Chet should get like Giannis. For one, Giannis can’t shoot.

Bad end to the quarter for Indiana. That was a very competitive quarter until the end, but also frustrating. Pacers took some ill-advised shots, weren't hitting a high clip from outside, even a missed FT and their only turnover of the game. Meanwhile OKC seemingly can't miss from the field.

Nesmith is completely out of this game on both ends. Whether its Williams cooking him on the defensive end or just being completely uninvolved on offense. It would be great if he made some kind of imprint on this game.
