IND (2-2) at OKC (2-2)

OKC successfully evened up the series last game. Now we have best of 3, with game 5 in OKC, 6 in IND, and 7 back in OKC, if necessary.

Can the Pacers continue their magical run on the road? Or will OKC take a 3-2 lead into game 6?

OKC should win this game but I feel like it will be the Pacers.

magical playoff run

My logic is every time I think they should lose they win. Besides game 2 of the Finals which I kind of figured would be an OKC blowout.

I did take them to win at +325

Me too, but I'll be looking to execute my typical arbitrage play.

Nice. I think I will take them as well once the game starts to I can use the Live Profit Boost.

Smart. I only have a 30% boost on a 3 leg parlay

I'm also leaning toward Indy in a close game, but an OKC blowout is a close second.

They're officiating SGA like he's Mahomes.

I want to complain about the refs because they have been pretty bad but the Pacers are shooting themselves in the foot with all these turnovers.

It's only SGA who's being officiated differently, they're letting his teammates get mauled and all of the Pacers.

But yeah, I don't know how they still think they can make some of these passes after four games.

Ok I am complaining about the refs. They suck.

I don’t think OKC will shoot like this again in game 6 but Pacers can’t turn the ball over like this or it will be over. If they limit the turnovers I think they can push it to 7.

I would love to see a game 7. Will be so much fun.

I didn't get to watch much of the game, but it sounds like OKC outplayed IND quite a bit, and still didn't win by that much. It's amazing how IND sticks around

OKC was making their share of mistakes. Quite a few of the Pacers turnovers did not result in point. Also, TJ McConnell was huge in the 3rd, bringing them from down 18 to down 5. I was surprised Carlisle didn't play him in the 4th. Instead Hali was playing clearly with an injury and was in there doing jack shit. Should have ran with McConnell and let Hali rest and be ready for game 6.

It did seem like McConnell was playing very well. I'm surprised they kept Hali around if he was not at 100% and not really trying to have a major impact.

I didn't even realize it was this bad until I scrolled through the stats this morning. But this was the game right here:

McConnell was awesome. Hopefully with a couple days off Haliburton gets some rest and treatment and can at least be close to the best version of himself. OKC did make mistakes as well but their D really locked the Pacers down after that run and they shot very well from 3. With that D and SGA and Williams ability to get to the basket, I think it is very difficult to beat them if they shoot 44% from 3.
