Siakam hiding from the ball again. I don't give a damn what anyone says. Dude is hiding.

Also is it me or does he have a weak core/lower body. He always seems like he's falling over at times

75% three point shooting from 2 two role guys is ridiculous. It's not like those two are known for being elite three point shooters.

They're both averaging 38.9% from 3 in their careers. They aren't high volume guys so I get that they are making more than usual but all I'm saying is that I'm not that shocked.

Wallace came to the game 0/8, so he just reverted to the mean as he's not 3/12 in the series. Wiggins has been hot for the series, he was 5/10 coming into the game, now 8/14.

A few games of hot shooting though is not biggie for a guy who can shoot. From games 5-11 in the regular season, Wiggins shot 55.6% 3PT on 27 3PA. He hit 8/13 3PT in a game, from games 59-62 he shot 59% 3PT on 22 3PA, etc, so yea, it happens.

Yep, agreed.

Nembhard has been cheeks this series

Offense hasn't been anything to write home about, but the defense from him has been elite.

[SA37]

Nembhard tries to be fancy instead of a regular pass to a wide open Mathurin. Turnover.

JDub scores the next possession.

8 pt game going into the 4th instead of 4

In either case, how are the Pacers in this game?

My impression is OKC has totally dominated, but then you see the scoreboard and...

[Nuntius]

Man, Jalen Williams specializes in 3rd quarter buzzer-beaters.

Hali specializes in game winners.

Let's hope it happens tonight.

Haliburton not helping beat his 'overrated' label. This is where they need him most.

[Dan Z]

The crazy thing is that McConnell could've had 5 more points in that quarter because he had a few shots that he barely missed.

Sometimes, he plays like a dancing bear or a ballerina, if that makes sense. A lot of pirouettes and spins, but sometimes you gotta go through a dude's chest.

[SportsGuru08]

Eight point game after three. This 4th quarter is essentially for the series.

[2weekswithpay]

OKC cannot keep TJ from getting a foot in the paint.

[metalinguss]

Just play McConnell the whole quarter and just put Haliburton in when they need the last shot

[EastonEddy]

How is Siakam hiding lol

They always spam TJ isos and Pascal is the 2nd leading scorer. Hali has done nothing

[MoneyTalks41890]

TJ with a new shuffle dance move

[CIN-C-STAR]

This is one of the most physical games I’ve ever seen….
Except for that regular season whistle Shai still gets for some reason lol

[doogie_hauser]

The Boomer OKC fans on the sidelines irrationally annoy me for some reason.

They don't bring the same energy and fun that the Indy fans bring. Just stand around being Happy Clappers.

[levon]

Mathurin is destroying Indiana

[Kawaii Leonard]

JDub sounds so mature for his age/yr in league. These military ballers like drob and shaq always have an edge

[bowery77]

Chet needs to sit in the paint when TJ drives. He's a demon down there.

[GeorgeSears]

Haliburton is having one of those really bad games that the Pacers simply couldn't afford.

[2weekswithpay]

Indy's help defense might be a bit too aggressive. OKC has made them pay for helping off the corners in the first half.
