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.
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.
