Put Hali and Turner back in. You win this game the series is over.

That midcourt screening action every time down is weird. Why set a screen directly on the halfway line. No wonder J-Dub got that 8sec count violation.

This is reminding me of the 2022 Finals. C's up 2-1, momentum in Game 4 and a 4th quarter lead. IND in a similar spot, can they actually hang on to win and go up 3-1? I agree with others, whoever wins today wins the series.

SGA 9-20 FGA for 20pts. 2-2 FTA. Only 2 FTs against 20 FGAs. 21 possessions used and 0 assists. Lot of shots without creating much for others.

Caruso & J-Dub are keeping OKC in this. They have been great. The others? Not so much.

I hope the Pacers can hang on. I had PTSD recalling that 2022 Finals. Celtics were up 2-1 and had a 4th quarter lead in Game 4  :(

I keep waiting for SGA to impress me. Maybe will happen in the final 8 minutes.

Exactly. I'm convinced they win that game, they win it all. Tragic.

They let Curry go off late in the quarter. Is SGA capable of doing that here? We'll see.

Hali needs to start looking to score. Only has 12pts.

Holmgren cannot create his shot from the perimeter at this point in his career and it confuses me that OKC continues to ask him to try.  Maybe in a couple of years.  He's strictly a catch-and-shoot guy on the outside right now.

If OKC wants him to shoulder some offensive burden, they have to do a better job of putting him in positions where he's comfortable.

It is interesting how many times SGA has been reluctant to attack the 2nd defender coming over to protect the basket. Passing out of several drives.

Oh my god, what a finish by Haliburton high off glass.

Beautiful. He has had some fantastic finishes at the rim tonight.

Second chance opportunities killing the Pacers.

Turner is useless tonight.

Come on, Nesmith.  You had to know SGA was going to rip through that hand. 

EDIT:  Those free points at the line just jumpstarted SGA.  Cannot let that guy get going. 

Also it looks like Indy is trying to sell that SGA pushoff and they aren't getting the calls.  A lot of them are pretty blatant too.
