The Thunder welcome their recent vanquishers the Pacers to the ‘Peake tonight in a game where OKC is looking to avenge a last second loss to Indiana. If you recall, the Thunder were mostly in control over the Pacers during their last encounter, but a sluggish 3rd quarter, followed by them ushering the Pacers to the free throw line over and over again, led to a game-winning put-back shot by Wesley Matthews.
The Pacers have remarkably held strong despite the loss of Victor Oladipo this season, but they just finished an absolutely brutal Western Conference run where they lost to the Nuggets, Trail Blazers, Clippers, and Warriors in succession.
