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.
Much more freedom of movement. Obviously, they didn't turn the ball over nearly as much. They got into their three-point game. So I think they have to feel good that they can make the Thunder play their game, and it's not the other way around because OKC was dictating in the first half. Second half, though, the Pacers were dictating just as much going the other way.

OKC will play better offensively, I do think, going forward, at least in some of these games. I wonder if Mark Dagnall will try to go back to the double big lineup. We thought that was going to be a question going forward because Siakam just seems like a tough matchup. The Siakam-Turner, the speed of those two seems like a tough matchup for Hartenstein and Chet together.

But I don't know. I thought Hartenstein had a pretty solid impact, especially in the first half. He was big time on the offensive glass. He was dunking inside, putting some pressure on the rim. Caruso did his part as well. He was everywhere, offensive rebounding, getting every loose ball. But I don't know. It's kind of odd to see the team that's the favorite adjust before the series starts.

That doesn't happen very often. So I wonder if maybe they decided to go back to the starting lineup that they've had. and see if they can kind of bang with the Pacers a little bit inside because they crushed them in the first half on the offensive glass.

Obviously, you're not going to force 19 turnovers in the half again if you're OKC, but you can maybe beat them up on the glass a little bit, and that helps for the possession battle. That helps for the shot attempt battle. I think OKC ended up taking like 20 more shots than the Pacers. You should win that game if you play well offensively, but this is the recipe for the Pacers. Keep it close.

and we've got the utmost confidence that our guy's going to get it done, and he did it once again. Did not have a celebration, though, in his back pocket. We were talking about it on the show. There's not necessarily one totally associated with the Thunder.

Okay, maybe he could stomp like Westbrook.
