Welp, Indy legitimately choked this one away. And unfortunately that very well could be the title.

Some rare Carlisle mistakes down the stretch continuing to switch Nessie on SGA, as well as then going to Mathurin who put the icing on the cake. But they deserved to lose this one with as tight as they got in the fourth and their dumb decision-making.

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.

Nope. SGA came alive in the 4th just like Curry that year

This may truly be following the 2022 script lol. OKC in 6

Mathurin won them G3.  What a turnaround. The favorites were looking lost and defeated.  SGA was an MVP down the stretch.

We were two minutes away from a Indiana title lol this was Game 3 of that Knick series all over again. Too many bricks and couldn't finish at the rim.

If you?re going to call choke on OKC in Game 1 you have to do the same with Indy in G4  they not only had a solid lead, they looked like champions. They seemed to be the better team.  Energy, confidence, tough D, good shooting, moving the ball, wearing OKC down.  And then the wheels fell off.

Embarrassing choke job from Pacers.  Probably lose the series now.

Not a fan of either team but it seemed to me OKC got the benefit of the doubt on several 50-50 calls. Especially at crucial junctures early in the game to keep it from slipping away.

Nesmith had a couple of really dumb fouls towards the end of the game. One was a reach in on SGA that got him to the line. He made both and then went on a heater.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Sounds like 2022 Celtics. Led Game 4 in the 4th quarter and just collapsed  :-X I'm guessing Mathurin was the Marcus Smart, Tyrese was Tatum with the clanks from downtown, Nembhard was Brown with the turnovers lol
