I mean that's just terrible offense from OKC. Down 6 with 90 seconds left and you dribble the air out of the ball for a long 2 at the end of the shot clock?

Absolutely fantastic defense by Myles Turner. Completely swallowed up Holmgren.

So did Indy just not try in the regular season? What explains their mediocre 50 win total?

Indy has a chance without one.

Maybe 2004 Pistons?
1994 Rockets?
