Pacers land again to again punches, to shut the second and begin the third. The Thunder must dig in. SGA’s unreal mid-range baseline step again would possibly do the trick of steadying issues for OKC. – 10:15 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Would have appreciated to see Chet Holmgren minimize faster behind that play for SGA to have the ability to discover him with two on the nail on SGA. That ought to be there for OKC as the sport goes on. Simply opened up too late as SGA was rising up. – 10:13 PM
