They know that the three-point shots are going to be there because that's something the Thunder like to do. They pack the paint, obviously. They're sending three guys at every driver, like you're saying, trying to strip it down low with their fingers and sometimes their whole hand. So the shots are there for the Pacers, and they're good passers.

They definitely out-assisted the Thunder in this one. You can just see the different ways they play. The Pacers want, like Tass has been saying all week, they want one guy to try and do everything, Shea Gilgis-Alexander. He had 38 points tonight. Nobody else getting into 20, I don't think. Maybe J-Dub got close, but I don't think anybody got close. Just awesome.

I mean, this is exactly how it goes. If you're the Pacers, this is how you want to win games. 105 is kind of their magic number. If they've been under 105, they haven't been able to pull out a win. So to stretch it out to 111, kind of on the strength of the three-point shooting in the fourth quarter, They've got to at least think that they can continue to outshoot Oklahoma City.

We'll see if that remains to be true. Definitely OKC will shoot better than 40% for a game, I'm sure, going forward.

Every single person we talked to today was like, if the Thunder are going to steal a game, or if the Pacers are going to steal a game, it's got to be game one. That's all good. It's all good. There we go.

Yeah, it's live.

They played well on defense. Exactly. And, I mean, the second half... Okay. Tale of two halves-wise, first half, Thunder style. Choppy. Tons of turnovers. You know, they're scoring inside pretty well. A lot of twos for them. But the Pacers kept pace, keeping it within 10 to 12. I think it was a 12-point lead at halftime. That's right. The second half felt like a Pacers half.
