8 fouls called on each team.

18 paint points for OKC. 4 for Indy, who is just hanging on the perimeter.

These comments are joke. Thunder getting fouled a bunch.

Lmfao Turner has to push Nesmith back towards SGA after the pushoff. So boring. It's just every play

Looks like, OKC is able to swipe at the ball and foul before they can even secure a rebound. Maybe it's just me though.

Wallace needs those steals because he's been a dud on offense.

I'm cheering for the Pacers, but that was a clear hook on Nembhard.

I feel like every championship team has something that happens that fans will claim is an “asterisk”. Hali injury is just OKC’s.

This.

OKC can get cold from 3 so you have to take away the middies and layups and hope OKC bricks the majority of their 3's.

There were a couple of questionable calls, but OKC, as in the entire series, has been the aggressor.

As I said before the game and in the Game 7 prediction thread: the Pacers would live and die by the 3.

I feel so bad for Hali and the Pacers fans. This has got to be a concern for the NBA two of their biggest young stars in what should be their athletic primes go down with Achilles injuries.
