Pacers frontrunner tendencies got them tonight. They were pretty high on themselves midway through the 3rd. Credit to OKC for hanging tough.

Bit of Raps v Bucks game 3 2019 about that one. Will haunt Indy if they drop the series from here.

That is probably the first close game Indiana has lost since early January.

Hilarious to me that Pat McAfee was rage ranting about the Thunder being a 6.5 point favorite going into tonight, then they promptly choked away the game and lost by 7. :lol:

Mathurin has the Kuminga gene. Moments where he looks all world and then stupidity reigns supreme.

I watched this game extremely close just like everybody else and I swear to God Oklahoma Gets so many wish Washie calls. Pacers have to get hammered To get anything.

Mathurin is an empty stat, **** player.

I guess it’s not terrible to have one of those guys coming off the bench, but Indiana relies way too much on his minutes

Haliburton completely tricked that game away the last 3 minutes by himself. Constantly over dribbling, not running offense, just trying to create a big moment for himself, he was absolutely embarrassingly godawful down the stretch.


On the other hand, in spite of Haliburton throwing the game, SGA being gifted absurd touch fouls while OKC is mugging guys on the other end, Mathurin missing 3 FTs, and it was still winnable with 20 seconds left. Pacers blew a huge opportunity tonight, but IMO they are so clearly the better team compared to OKC that I actually expect them to come out and win in OKC by double digits. They are finally putting together good first halves which they didn't do to start the series. I think they finally play a complete game start to finish in game 5 and shell shock OKC at home.

New age Maggette. As an 8th man who can be benched like he is on Indy he's fine.

If OKC can't remedy the 3 point discrepancy, they could well be toast. Along with the lack of assists due to SGA/JDub hero ball. Pretty remarkable that they pulled this one off. Game ball to Mathurin, IMO. I do agree Hali was dancing too much, but he hit some big layups.

Yeah, Hali never letting Siakam touch the ball down the stretch was crazy. Siakam was carrying them, and then didn't get a single shot in the last 10 minutes.

OKC's weakness is they run the most basic offense possible, but the Hali let them off the hook by doing the same down the stretch.

SGA is a foul merchant, but his free throws down the stretch were all fouls, due to some really undisciplined defense by Nesmith.

Yeah, SGA was in foul trouble all from weak calls. SGA got taken down by a Turner moving screen but was called for the foul.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
