Each starter of the Indiana had two -digit points, because the ball has spread as it is usually in its offensive zone. Haliburton went 7 out of 13 on the field for 17 points, but it was only 3 out of 8 beyond the arc.
Myles Turner (16 points), Pascal Siakam (15 points, seven rebounds) and Andrew Nembhard (11 points) made a 3 -point 13 point points, which was unusual in these NBA qualifiers.
The biggest advance of the Thunder in this match was 23 years, while the Pacers led only by three points in the competition.

Of course, Indiana led by only 0.3 seconds the last match after Haliburton’s mid -range jumper has shaken the house. But on their home field, this is what many expected the series to return to Indiana on Wednesday at 8:30 p.m.
