The Good: The Indiana Pacers held an Oklahoma City Thunder team that averages 105.8 points per game to 90 points, which was the X-factor in tonight’s win. Defense is not always a guarantee with the Pacers, so their effort on that end displayed they can get it done. It’s just a matter of consistency there.
The Bad: Tonight’s shooting performance was dismal as the Pacers shot 37.9% from the field. Luckily, OKC only shot 38.6% so it evened out in that category.
MVP: Paul George. Reluctant to give this to him as he shot 7 of 20 from the field and had 5 turnovers, but he was huge in the win.
