The team that was up has a massive collapse, missing all their shots and taking too many threes and not making them and turning it over. And the team that comes back hits a flurry of threes. Someone goes on fire like Aaron Neesmith against the Knicks. That didn't happen last night. It was a weird kind of chip away, chip away. The Pacers were far from perfect down the stretch.

The Thunder were far from perfect. collapsing down the stretch, and yet it was a little bit of, they scored two, these guys scored three, these guys scored two, these guys scored two, these guys got an offensive rebound here, these guys got an end one here.

Like, all those other games that I mentioned, think about it. Everyone in the crowd is gasping and groaning, like, oh no, what's happening? The Thunder crowd never saw it coming, dude, because it just felt like, nah, they got this, they got this. Look, a review out of bounds of Siakam. Game over. And literally Halliburton hits that shot and everyone was like, holy, holy crap.
