If we talk about what the NBA wants, obviously, they wanted to see a game 7 finals, more viewership means more revenue to them. And the one that can control the game is the referee themselves (not saying that they would, but if they make those crucial calls in favor of the Thunder, then they have a good chance to win). The Pacers started hot by having almost a double digit lead. But the OKC comes back with a good rally to tie the score at 24 apiece. This is just the first quarter though, so many things could happen and SGA didn't have his usual start. But it was Williams who are carrying the team for now. Dort also has a great start shooting from the outside.

The run made by the Thunder at the final minutes of the game lead by SGA put them to win and tie the series. 111-104.

Despite shooting only 3/17 from threes, they manage to steal one on the road. The team made some adjustments on how the Pacers are defending SGA hence they're making screens from here and there and because of that, he got the pace that he wants and scored 35 points. Williams also scored 27 points while Caruso scored 20 off the bench.

As for the Pacers, I would not say that Hali had a bad performance because they can still have a chance to win that game if only Mathurin didn't commit those 2 crucial away-from-ball fouls while the Thunder is inbounding the ball and that gave them 2 crucial points to them. Also aside from those 2 crucial fouls that he made, he also missed too many free throws in the final seconds of the game. I mean I don't want to blame him, but it might be different if he didn't commit those mistakes. Missed free throws, and away-from-ball fouls.

Anyway, it's a best of 3 now, and the momentum is now on the Thunder because of this win. I don't want to say now though that it would be an easy win for them even though 2 of the next 3 games will be played on their home because Indiana isn't backing down, and we've saw it in those 4 games. Congratulations to Thunder still, and to those who put their bets on them.

As SGA says, they are a desperate team and so with that they will have to do everything in them to win game 4 and that's what happen to them. Indiana had that lead going into the last 3 minutes and you can sense that somewhat they are going to win the game.

But then SGA has other plans, no they won't be going in their homecourt down 1-3. Now it's down to best of 3 and for sure the Pacers are very nervous now as they will have to go to play next in the homecourt of the Thunder.

When Shai scores over 30 points, OKC is likely to win. In the previous game, Shai had 24 points and the loss was inevitable. In this game, he scored 35 points and OKC tied the series 2-2 and regained home advantage.

I think Haliburton is not contributing enough in the final games. He had 18 points in this game.

The next game will be in OKC's home field in 3 days. This series can have different scores. Right now, only OKC has home advantage but their opponent is Indiana and they can make incredible comebacks.

Because the Thunders won this game, this could be their championship. They will be back to their city next game. After game 5, the tally will most likely be 3-2 in their favor. For sure, they will not allow the Pacers to steal from them again. This means the Pacers are on the brink of losing. Or as many expected this will be decided on the 7th game.


I think OKC gave their all in the final minutes, both in terms of offense and defense. The Pacers began to feel complacent. They are probably not used to leading. They are so used to chasing deficits when the game is about to end. That is their main fuel. And now that it is not there, it is the Thunders who stepped up. The Pacers were not making shots. Haliburton himself only made 3 points in the last quarter. That is so not him.

A nice and competitive final games which boosted the morale of fixing conspirator on the thread.   Thunder made an unexpected comeback in the final quarter.
Both of the finalist team reached here staying among top on their league table and winning the knockouts. They are two of the best NBA teams this season without a doubt.
It's no wonder both of them would be competitive and strong. Today too the first three quarters of games were led by Pacers by a small margin (1, 2 and 4 to be exact) but on the final quarter, Thunder came back with 31-17 (14 points). People may tell that the 14 points difference on the final quarter is not natural but that could be the strategy of Thunder from the start to conserve their stamina for the final quarter.

Yes, the Thunder managed to avoid a 1-3 deficit in the series. Although I would have preferred the Pacers to win and Mathurin to repeat his previous performance. Unfortunately, he wasn't effective enough this time.
In any case, the score in the series is tied, and everything starts again, but now, the home arena advantage will be with the Thunder.

I bet on Indiana to win at 2.55 odds. I looked at the odds again before the game started and Indiana was at 2.73 odds. I don't understand how Oklahoma is such a favorite. My bet unfortunately lost.

Shai Gilgeous Alexander played really well again. Shai scored more points than he has this year. His points per game average this year is 31.5 in 99 games.

We should move on to the game 5
Pacers will surely fo to 0 and make a play again. Game 4 was not a good ending. they were leading and in just snap OKC go far from them.
odds ill go back to 9.5 in game 5. This game 4 was a big insurance for Pacers.

I hate to say  this but theres 90% chance for g5 to take the lead by the Thunders.

Still 50 - 50 and we see how Pacers perform good so far in game 4. Its just they had been choked and outsmarted by SGA on dying minutes of the game.

I thought Pacers would able to win earlier since they show pretty promising performance. But SGA really fight until the end and we see he hit crucial shots which help OKC to snatch the win from OKC.

Game 5 would became more interesting since for sure that there's somehow regrets on the side of Pacers since for sure they think that they supposed to win that game 4 and for sure they do more better on their next game. Its early to tell that OKC have 90% chance since Pacers already prove that they are also dangerous opponent for OKC.
