The Indiana Pacers needed an extra five minutes to secure their first road win of the season, holding on to defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Pacers led for most of the night, by as many as 15 in the third quarter, but Russell Westbrook led the Thunder back in the fourth, drilling a stone cold three to force overtime.
The Pacers came away with the win in overtime, but had to overcome Myles Turner turning his ankle and on-cue turnovers from Monta Ellis. Turner came down on Westbrook after blocking a shot, but remained in the game, helping the team down the stretch, finishing with 15 points and nine rebounds.
