The Oklahoma City Thunder did not explode this time to the Indiana Pacers, since they matched the series once again after a strong victory of game 2, 123-107.
The last game was Tyrese Haliburton showing another little heroity with a last second shot to win it for Indiana on the way in game 1. But Haliburton, or any of his teammates, could return to this game while Shai Gilgous-Alexander & Co. ran the score and kept it like this.
The MVP of the League had the correct answer for the wild victory of the Pacers in game 1, going 11 of 21 from the floor and 11 of 12 of the Charity Strip for a night of 34 points to lead the game in that category.

Gilgeous-Alexander also counted eight assists, five rebounds, four robberies and a block as everything did on the court.
The thunder’s deep bank also provided a very necessary offensive, since Alex Caruso had a hot hand from the range of three points, hitting four of his eight attempts on his way to a 20 -point night. Aaron Wiggins also added 18 points in an efficient shot of 6 of 11 with four rebounds to score as well.

In the initial five, Jalen Williams (19 points, five rebounds, five assists) and Chet Holmgren (15 points, six rebounds, an assistance) also helped in the victory.
Meanwhile, the Pacers had trouble shooting from depth in this game, going 14 of 40 as a team (35%), which finally led Oklahoma City to get away in this.

Each head of Indiana had two digit points, since the ball spread, since it is usually in its offensive zone. Haliburton was 7 of 13 from the field by 17 points, but he had only 3 of 8 from beyond the arch.
Myles Turner (16 points), Pascal Siakam (15 points, seven rebounds) and Andrew Nembhard (11 points) were 3 of 13 combined three -point territory, which has not been characteristic of them in these NBA playoffs.
The biggest advantage of Thunder in this game was 23, while the Pacers only led by three points during the contest.

Of course, Indiana led for only 0.3 seconds in the last game after Haliburton’s average range jersey shook home. But on their local court, this is what many expected when the series returns to Indiana on Wednesday at 8:30 pm
