This defense of leaving everyone open behind the line is definitely the right one to go with.

OKC won this series in game 4. You can’t let a team shoot 3-16 from Three and still beat you.
Mentally, emotionally and physically, I truly believe OKC were done and dusted if they lost that game. I don't see how such a young team could've psychologically bounced back from a series they were heavy favorites in.

They're such a great and well balanced team so it's hard to criticize the Pacers but that was the one game where the lack of a true #1 option legitimately cost them. They needed someone to carry the load down the stretch and break OKC's will. Expecting guys like Mathurin to steal you games against a juggernaut like this Thunder team just isn't realistic.

Imo, it's the worst Playoffs loss since that Houston 27 straight missed 3s game.
