6 assists and 16 TO's is fukking disgusting man
This is two of the last three games going like this for OKC. Yes, they were both in Indy and they somehow won game four, but I'd be troubled by this if I was a Thunder fan.

Indy's been bottling up their team offense. It's SGA and JDub going one-on-one and staying home on everybody else.

Two of three games of OKC getting NOTHING from the three point line as well.

They're a different team at home but the game seven pressure is gonna be immense, especially if Indy takes an early lead and has a few guys going. The Pacers had EIGHT guys averaging 10 or more going into this game.

Yep.

And this was another game for Indiana to figure some things out to try and stay alive. They can now use some of it in game 7, like not worrying too much about picking up full court.

Carlisle has used more of his bench as the series has gone along. I didn't think Bradley would play at all, now it will be all hands on deck. Also looks like Indiana has cut down on the turnovers
The turnovers are interesting yea Indiana has played smarter but OKC has clearly not been as active. A lot of hand down defense out there

We talking about Game SEVEN against a team that all season has never stopped fighting no matter the lead or deficit. If you think OKC collectively threw this game because they think they’re going to get an easy W at home during a game SEVEN your as delusional as Jim Jones

Yeah, Pacers is the last team I want to play in a winner take all game with nothing to lose. They gonna run like crazy in game 7.

I wasnt able to watch earlier. Can someone please explain to me how this game is this lopsided?
Everybody on the Pacers played well outside of Turner and Mathurin. Pacers have been hitting their 3's while OKC can't sniff one. Pacers have turned the Thunder over. Pacers have been able to limit SGA and JDub's impact. No-shows from Chet, Caruso, and Dort. Crazy because the Pacers missed their first eight shots.

stopped picking up at full court and focused more on shutting them down on the halfcourt and the results look promising for a 1-game sample
