Mathurin making some good plays to keep Indy within distance. The guy is an imperfect player but is a gamer for sure. I love his competitiveness and physicality.

Indiana were ahead 12-11 about 3 minutes into Q1. Then they fell apart and gave up turnover after turnover. OKC had an 11-0 run in less than 3 minutes.

Outside of that 11-0 run, the score has been fairly even. Indy down 14 at halftime so they were only outscored by 3 for the rest of the half. It was just that 2:30 minutes were they fell apart. And gave up turnover after turnover for easy transition finishes and paint finishes off of drives.

I don't understand all the talk from ESPN about Halburton's sore leg. He is moving well out there. He is moving well on defense. He is jumping well on rebounds. He is moving well on drives. How is this sore leg stopping him from making plays?

He is just not getting it done. He is playing badly.

Can?t believe Indy is still in this game.

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.

5 turnovers for Siakam.

14pts on 4-10 FGA 5-6 FTA. So 13 possessions. That goes up to 14pts on 18 possessions when you include the turnovers.

Indy keeps making these small runs. Getting the deficit down to 9-11pts and OKC keeps responding.

Down to 7pts this time.

Everytime I get excited and every time OKC has responded and crushed me. Come on Indiana!

Ugh, back to 12pts. Darn.

TJ plays so hard. Keeping the Pacers in this.

Strange seeing Tony Bradley play so much in a vital NBA Finals game.

Mathurin can't guard a chair.

McConnell has been fantastic for Indiana.

Covering for Hali's no-show.

Credit to JDub, OKC sorely needed somebody to step up and ride shotgun in these Finals and starting in G3 he has answered the bell.
