Pacers are really good at getting good looks on corner threes when they get out on the break. They're really good at getting good looks on corner threes. And like Aaron Neesmith hasn't missed a corner three since 1989. So if you've got Neesmith hitting corner threes, you've got Siakam, who was really hot during the conference finals, hitting corner threes because they're moving that fast.

That works. The thing that's so interesting about Indiana is they're not a typical ball control team. Because they play so fast. Normally, a team that doesn't really turn it over is going to be one that plays at a slower pace and is going to be one that isn't going to try to be breaking all the time, isn't going to try to be cutting all the time. You look at the ultimate...

Team game, beautiful offense, like prime Warriors dynasty, right? You're not going to find a better offense than that, right? You're not going to find a more beautiful offense than that in terms of player movement, ball movement, unselfishness, everything like that. What did those Warriors teams do? Dave, where were they in turnovers?

Just dead last. No matter how good you are at it, no matter how beautiful it looks, if you play that style, you commit turnovers. Except for the Pacers. Except for the Pacers. And that's the beauty in how good Tyrese Halliburton is. And on top of that, it's the beauty in how good Andrew Nembhard is because he doesn't really make mistakes.

And TJ McConnell makes really good decisions when he's handling the basketball as well. And when they get on their breaks, they make sure it is worth it. They make sure they were out in front of the defense and they're not going to turn that stuff over. And they'll do it after makes too. It doesn't have to be after stops.

So I think those are kind of the way OKC forces a higher percentage of turnovers than any other defense in the league by a wide margin. And if they're not able to get those takeaways and they're not able to get out running and you can kind of bog OKC into its half court offense, which is overly criticized, in my opinion, but is not as good as when they're out in transition.

And and Indiana is able to get out in transition. They're able to create more corner threes than maybe they normally do. And they happen to get hot in those corner threes. You could win a game because Aaron Neesmith hits four corner threes. You could win a game because you committed only eight turnovers and you just happened to win the possession game.
