Mathurin might as well have been wearing blue at the end there

Having the best player on the court always counts for something.

It's tough to hold on for a whole game, I'm not really seeing this as a choke, it's not like they were missing FT's or doing something wild, it's just that it is tough and it's not an easy opponent


Mathurin says hi

Well he had to go and do that do end the game lol, I made that post before all the missed FT's

I don't use the term much but Pacers choked down the stretch (played tight) ... Turner and Haliburton airballed WIDE OPEN 3's down the stretch. That's a sign you're pressing. They lost their flow

Thunder in 6. They're not losing another home game. It's been a good run Indy, but your ride ends here.

The way SGA plays is a complete disgrace. Refs completely changed the outcome of this game

No they got clamped down on defense in the 4th. Look at the stats and stop making excuses.


Should have been a 20 point game at half. Changes everything.

It was blatant.

Don't tell me the freethrow attempts were close. People saw the game. OKC were in the game because of the calls.


Meh, OKC earned this one. Yeah there were some questionable calls in their favor but you could say the same for Indy. OKC made some big time shots down the stretch.

Bro. Objectively. The thunder are grabbing the **** out of the pacers playing the they can't call every foul strategy.

Even still, pacers make their FT they win the game.

In the end, the Pacers died by the jump shot.

What a game by Caruso and Dort. Jalen Williams was very good in the 1st half. SGA hit some big shots.

Nesmith and Mathurin combined for an absolutely catastrophic 4th quarter. Siakam disappeared. Haliburton got dominated by Dort.

Oh and if anyone tell you that 3 point shooting matters, OKC just went 3-17 and still won the game.
