heat [Music] hey heat hey heat [Music] a look at the Pacers everyone wants to see how they’re going to respond to this challenge greg game five on the road nba championship on the line and you know I think it’s going to be key for them to just block out all the noise you don’t focus on what’s being said or or written about you you just focus on the present moment because that’s all you can control terrific advice for these players let’s check out Indiana in the back court memory to his time seak is the four and he’ll be next to Turner at the five into the free now here’s Hallebert just five on the clock here’s Siaka uses the glass that time and it’s good yeah there’s no quitting this guy he just gives you great effort and he continues to give you great production outside Williams back to Gilas Alexander and it’s going to be out of bounds the patients will take it and while we’ve got a moment let’s send it over to our terrific reporter David david thanks mark Dagmol and I got a chance to talk for a bit we talked about the challenge of game planning for Tyrese Hallebertton the coach said we have to stay in front of him the second he gets a step on us that’s when it’s kind of pick your poison with him if our guys stay in front of him I think we should be fine back to you thanks David hallebertton no good and the way he was able to reach out towards that release had an impact well no question he altered that shot and most of the time that’s just as good as blocking it now here’s Jordan with a screen for Williams and he drops in the layup off the glass yeah I mean Jaylen Williams got as great a basketball frame as you can hope for that’s strength right there george Alexander against Hallebertton here’s Matan it’s Ken with the rebound well defensively if you allow him to get this close you’re playing with fire he just happened to miss that one acers have gone one or three this one so far hallebertton with it defended by Gordon hallebertton against Williams and it’s Hallebertton penetrating he can’t get it to go williams passes to Gilg Alexander pass to Williams it’s a nice passing by Oklahoma City here there’s the drive gilas Alexander can’t get it to go and Matan has got the ball here for the Pacers here’s Nemo good on the triple and Matan proving he can be unselfish wanting to find his teammates gilis Alexander surveying the deep ardan Shine finds Gildis Alexander pacers with the rebound they come off the loss on Friday well I I felt like they were never on the same page defensively and that gave up way too many easy shots you cannot allow your opponent to shoot that high a percentage that is going to get you beat night after night now Dort following the three-point attempt by Tyresese Hallebertton gilg Alexander against Hallebertton ejected by Hallebertton oh my goodness tyrese Hallebertton twice on the pipe send it back defensively this one for three a three-pointer is right on target and they don’t want to get in a habit of giving him open looks from three first quarter still but not who you want to leave open and Mark Dagno calls timeout here he’s made the decision he wants to huddle up with his guys heat heat [Applause] heat heat heat [Music] [Applause] heat here [Applause] are the NBA’s top scorers during this postseason as shown on the 2K leaderboard shay Gilgis Alexander is second and he’s taken off on a tremendous scoring streak at the perfect time i mean obviously he’s established himself as a premier playoff performer thunder trailing by six pass to Williams and he’s fouled pretty hard on that shot but he’s got the chance to pick up the points at the line what I love about Jaylen Williams he makes his presence felt on the game athleticism tireless work ethic and offensive skills that are just blossoming with each repetition it’s his first trip to the line and he knocks down the first one and so he makes both from the line indiana leading by four outside Matarin [Applause] seakum deciding where to go with it turner with a screen on Homegrren here’s Seiakum score of the basket his second of two attempts now this guy continues to build his offensive skill set pascal Seakum with the mid-range jumper pass to Homegrren Williams against Matan charity stripe shot from deep Alexander the Thunder with another miss boy a tough goal for him in this quarter you can see how desperately he wants to get things started he just can’t make a shot to the inside he hits that shot his first of the night now one for six that’s just concentration from Shay Gilders Alexander this guy’s accustomed to big time defense hallebertton finds Turner seakum outside turner with the screen 16 ft away kept alive left side matarin oh good with the triple trailing by four homegr the pass to Gilis Alexander back to Homegrren mattherin against Williams six on the shot clock from deep three-point territory that one no good indiana lead by four pass to Nemo [Applause] seakum outside turner with the screen for Seattle to the paint somehow ignores the tight D and gets the layup boy Miles Turner insisting on playing through the contact gets the finish and Mark Dagnel calls timeout and coach has decided they need a moment to talk things over [Applause] yeah heat heat heat heat [Applause] heat [Applause] for your There’s our safety [Applause] hartinstein against Turner outside Williams some nice passing by Oklahoma City here hartinstein with a screen on Hellbert here’s Gil Alexander from 8 ft away he drops it in gil Alexander’s got his second basket of the night and here’s Hellbert here’s Merin he’s started by Williams outside for Hellbertton shot clock at six outside lets it go from deep and home pulls it down and already they take out a noticeable advantage in terms of aggression and controlling the back outside gil Alexander the Pacers pull it in i’ll tell you this guy is doing absolutely everything he can to get himself going but the team is struggling because he’s struggling and that’s a foul called on Shade Gilas Alexander that’s his first foul first team foul [Applause] and here are the Pacers now four-point game [Applause] seakum outside just five to shoot over Hongren that length of Hungren is such a tool on defense offline from the top of the key outside Williams inside Gilis Alexander happy to see that one going after missing six of his nine shots today and their post play has been really solid right off the bat outside me Turner against hurting shot turner gets to Seak that balls nice feed that time from Turner seakum’s got seven points shots are just flowing him right now having a really strong quarter outside Dors it’s Gilas Alexander with the drive well what a pump fake by Shay gilch Alexander gets the defender committed and he’ll go to the foul line and a moment now to quickly take a look at the offensive approach for Indiana absolutely dialed in from beyond the arc so far in this one the defense is surrendering the long range shot here early on yeah and in addition their ball movement has really unleashed their offense boy they’ve been fun to watch and he makes the first what you love about Shay Gildas Alexander is this young man’s work ethic he is a gym rat who’s always looking for ways to improve looking at who’s out there now for the Thunder williams he’s checked in for Hartinstein aaron Wiggins comes in for Jet Homegrren and it’s Alex Caruso in for Dorch so an entirely new group in now for Indiana obie Toppins checked in for Miles Turner he comes in for Benedict Matin shepard’s checked in for Andrew Nehawk and it’s TJ McConnell in for Hallebertton mcconnell passes to Shepard and here is Siako [Applause] and that one clearly a foul gets the whistle and two shots coming up you know we talk about Lang defensively sean so long offensively trying to get a challenge on him you are often going to put them at the line the Berser shooting their first free throws of this first free throw is good boy the evolution of Pascal Seakum has been such a pleasure to watch the work ethic is commendable and he’s learning how to be a leader guys isaiah Joe he’s checked in for Gilg Alexander [Applause] seakum hits them both i think the value of Pascal Seiakum is the skill set on both ends of the floor he can play multiple positions either end and he can lift his team in any number of ways now here’s Williams and out of bounds as the Pacers gain possession these players can flat out shoot the rock the 2K leaderboard shows us the top three-point shooters in the playoffs well you look at Nith one of the best shooters in the NBA top five in the league at this moment he he is having so much success from beyond the three-point line some guys just thrive on this kind of pressure the Pacers making a change here shepard’s checked in caruso against McConnell seakum left side looks good is good bucket number four from the field he’s taken only six shots well this guy has been efficient and effective all night that IQ has been on display caruso against McConnell and that’ll be two free throws coming up officials on the call with the foul and you know what you allow a guy to get right to the rim like that that’s your only option first trip to the line for him here Alexo [Applause] the free throw drops for Caruso [Applause] and so Caruso nails both of them and Seiakam has got the ball here for Indiana leading by five tapping a screen on Williams here’s Seiakum solid play in the low block and that one’s good seakum’s got 13 what an aggressive mindset in this period he’s starting to take over caruso looking for an opening wiggins finds Joe now here’s Williams and he banks in the lane six points for him and really it’s been a major aspect of their offense in the early stages here their success working the ball inside and getting points in good basket good i’ll tell you this lead’s not going anywhere with this guy making plays what a quarter outside Williams 157 left to play in the first back to Caruso fires from deep the Pacers pull it in yeah they got that one but early on it’s it’s really been a struggle for them to secure that defensive backboard shepard the pass to Siaka [Applause] mcconnell against Caruso topping no one around him off target there that would have pushed the lead to double digits [Applause] outside Williams three-pointer gets the three-pointer to fall williams has had his third bucket of the night jaylen Williams lethal from deep folks you can’t allow him to get comfortable seakum outside he was looking for jumping and finds him and he saw the play develop but the pass just wasn’t there it was a really good thought for sure but the lob has got to be better than that and that one’s good wiggins huge hole in the defense that possession he didn’t waste any time cutting to it peruso against McConnell pass over Williams off target that was a little heat check it’s deflected it’s stolen by Shepard good T by Williams the Thunder have gotten seven of their first 16 field steel goal attempts to go down here in the first outside Williams [Applause] williams a screen on Seakum three-pointer gets it to go from beyond the arc williams has got a couple of threes now in the first for Oklahoma City and so is Jaden Williams making things happen for the Oklahoma City Thunder that quarter had to take a lot out of him he racked up 12 points we come back right after this [Applause] so glad to have you with us here as we bring you more action from port side at game five and what do you guys think so far about the offensive approach for the Thunder i I like how they’ve worked the ball inside getting looks closer in there and that really helps your offense i think let’s give them credit as well for the job they’ve done getting to the free throw line it’s been a huge factor for them indiana trailing here we’ve got Williams Kilis Alexander out there with Isaiah Jones then it’s Wiggins and it’s Caruso in at the three that’s the group for Oklahoma City getting going here in the second well he was wide open you wonder did he overthink it that’s a missed opportunity down low got a piece of it and it’s Wiggins missing the pace are shooting under 40% all in all for the game back to Hellbert to Bryce here’s M no scoring in this one just four to shoot hellbert inside the three-point line wide open shot is on the money well we know Tyresese Hallebertton is first and foremost a shooter this guy has put in a ton of work here’s Wiggins and two free throws coming up unable to get that one to go with all the content it’s going to be on Obi Toppin Thunder shooting their seventh and eighth free throw attempts for the game right here thunder taking two shots [Applause] the first free throw is good [Applause] so after making the first he goes one for two well a little shaky from the line and instead of putting him in front he’s only able to tie it up hallebertton with the bucket yeah give Hallebertton credit for staying with the play you’ve got to be able to fend off that defensive still finish now here’s Gas Alexander eight points for him pass to Williams and here’s Wiggins tapping covering [Applause] here’s Gilis Alexander at balls nice feed that time from Wiggins gilis Alexander’s got it all tied up now for the Thunder hallebertton for three rebound by Williams williams has got his fifth rebound in this one here’s Wiggins from down in the low post it goes wiggins has got the lead up to two now for the Thunder hallebertton outside over Joe that misses off the bat well he’s a quality mid-range shooter but he can’t get that one to go wiggins kicks to Gilas Alexander [Applause] williams has a screen for Wigs and it’s off from three-point range and so it’s McConnell with it they’ll bring it up for the first trail in by two in the corner about 3 minutes played so far in the second quarter whistle blows basket is good so a chance here for a three-point play and this is his first trip to the line tonight tyrese find the length find the length good shot [Applause] that’s good from Hallebertton a superb scorer and a talented distributor tyrese Hallebertton is exactly the type of point guard every team would love to have and Mark Dagno call his timeout he’s ready to talk things through with the team heat heat [Applause] yeah heat [Applause] heat up here [Applause] [Music] heat heat [Applause] and while we have a chance let’s now take a look at the NBA’s season assist leaders Tyrese Hallebertton on top and of course Shay Gilis Alexander i think these two guys are having a little personal competition here in the playoffs to see who will finish with the most assists [Applause] and for those of you just joining us in the second quarter with about 3 minutes gone by [Applause] to Williams back to Gildas Alexander good and it’s Williams who picks up the assist 12 points for Shay Gil Alexander now Hbert 10 points for him now Toppin the three ball good on the three-point shot toppins got himself going with the triple his first basket of the game wow from the arc toppin shoots with real authority can tell it’s an area of the floor that he’s comfortable it’s Wiggins at the top of the key five on the clock to Williams over Bryant it’s held in by Tyrese Hallebertton for Indiana they’ve gone four of eight so far and here’s McConnell the three wiggins with the rebound gilas Alexander with it wiggins up top he’s covered by McConnell knocked away and stolen by McConnell that’s in for the first basket of the game after three attempts and when he breaks out the crossover you can be sure he’s going to leave somebody in his way gildas Alexander passes to Wiggins pick by Williams launches a three and again no good by Oklahoma City the shooting numbers just aren’t there yet in the quarter here’s Helbert lays it up and takes it in now it’s a six-point pacer lead well you have to understand how to score when you’re in the paint and you are 6’5 tyrese Hallebertton he knows the way they need this lands soft on the front of the rim and drops gilg Alexander’s got six points in the quarter they seem to concede that shot and his response is “Thank you very much.” [Applause] Now here’s Hallebertton covered by Joe [Applause] McConnell standing the floor four on the clock hallebertton takes a three knocks down the three ball game mcconnell’s got the lead up to seven now for the Pacers what a beautiful stroke from range defensively you’ve got to try to take him out of his comfort zone here’s Kilus Alexander it’s rebounded by Nith and that’s the battle they haven’t been winning today their work on the glass has been porous and that’s got to change to the middle and it’s Gilg Alexander missing pacers leading by seven allebertton outside now here’s McConnell he has five here’s Bryant shooting foul as the whistle blows he’ll shoot two free throws this guy is not afraid to get physical thomas Bryant doing everything he can to fight to get the shot off for Indiana they have gone three for three at the line tonight [Applause] [Applause] the free throw drops for Bryant boy if you watch him now it’s amazing that Thomas Bryant ever fell to the second round in the draft he’s big he’s skilled he knows the game looking at who’s out there now for the Thunder martin Stein’s checked in for Williams comes in for Wiggins jayen Williams is checked in for Alex Caruso and it’s Dort in for Isaiah Joe both free throws good for Bryant well he’s come through for them at the line today and you love having a big fella who’s so capable on his free throw [Music] it’s Dort on the wing mr covering the shots good from Gilgis Alexander well this second quarter has proven to be a turnaround this guy looking much more comfortable all of a sudden here’s Nehard defended by Dort [Applause] ryan against Hartinstein seakum outside [Applause] matherine for three it’s rebounded by Oklahoma City homegrren’s got four rebounds in this game williams in the post he’s covered by Hellbertton [Applause] alexander against Mat [Applause] with it 12 points for him pass token with a screen on the three a thunder pull it in and even against defense as tight as that you almost expect him to still bury those [Applause] williams with a clean look offensive rebound second shot opportunity and foul on the shot he’ll shoot two at the free throw line it’s going to be on Siak for Oklahoma City they have been good at the free throw line this one seven and eight isaiah Park [Applause] he misses the free throw and Oklahoma City making a change here caruso’s checked in indiana also making some changes miles Turner he’s checked in for Thomas Bryant and it’s TJ McConnell in for Hallebertton we got this we got this and the second free throw good and Rick Cornwall decides to call timeout wants to talk some things over might be seeing some things to adjust heat heat [Applause] heat heat heat heat [Applause] heat heat here’s a look at the 2K leaderboard with the list of the best shooters during the postseason now you look at Arinstein you know what you’re going to get from him day in and day out and guys that shooting percentage of his has been spectacular since the start of the playoffs he has been completely locked in pacers leading by six pass to Nemo mcconnell kicks to Seak [Applause] back to McConnell six to shoot shoots over Caruso he made that one basket number three for him he’s also missed two well after a less than stellar start in the first quarter you like to see that shot go down williams passes to Homegrren [Applause] and here is George hasn’t made one yet oklahoma City moving the ball around outside williams high post try and that’s good for two well Jaylen Williams very comfortable operating out of that mid-range area caruso against McConnell outside Turner back to McConnell turner with a screen on Caruso and it’s slammed in by Turner now that’s called positioning and Turner has the verticality to make it easy thunder trailing by eight pass to Homegrren out to the wing dort passes to Homegrren outside williams fires the three and it’s in basket number six for him thus far he has only missed two shots from the floor what confidence by Jaylen Williams just ready in the catch and shoot situation saying I’m going to get this off before you can do anything about it now here’s the 15 points in the game to the paint it’s stolen by Hardenstein [Applause] williams scanning the floor thor finds Williams inside turner with the steel we’ve got 148 left in the first half of the game [Applause] it’s Mehard on the wing defended by Gor out to Turner turner with a screen on Williams back to Turner it’s tipped and Turner throws it down the knee just kind of stepping aside and letting him get to the rim there’s a reason GA the lead is what it is right now that’s how you can’t get stops if you’re unwilling to put in the work now here’s Williams 17 points in the game pascal Seakum grabs the miss [Applause] down low [Applause] here’s Caruso to the inside back to Homegrren it’s the three-point foul homer’s got his first three points of the game and playing up tempo prolevel ball can be hard for some guys but has easily made the transition now here’s Turner he has six and a wide open look they get it back catherine for three sinks the three-pointer and the Pacers lead by seven as the game has gone along they’ve gotten more and more aggressive on the back end 6 seconds separating the shot and game clocks caruso sets the screen for Homegrren and the call on the shot it sends in to the line it’s going to be on Seakob and Homegr possesses skyhigh potential his length and versatility are making him such an intriguing prospect [Applause] free throw dropped for Homegrren i think for a guy like Chad Homegrren it’s about staying healthy he has the size and skill and the mentality to be successful [Applause] homegrren hits him both 17 seconds left now here in the second hallebertton against Corso hallebertton in right side with two seconds left and some nice defense there to end the quarter and that’ll do it for the first half a competitive game so far pacers out in front leading by five it’s time now to go courtside as we send you over to David Aldridge from the sideline david take it away thanks Kevin coach what happened defensively that slowed them down in the first half well we’re active they’re missing a few shots they normally make you know we just got to compete we got to keep competing the way we are thanks for your time Rick back to you Kevin thank you David and we’ll be back for the third quarter of action following halftime some great postseason action in the first half of play a healthy lead has been built for the Indiana Pacers i love the depth of this team man their subs have been huge tonight giving them a scoring punch that they needed most and credit their coach for a rather liberal substitution pattern he mixed and matched beautifully in that first half looking at this series for the Indiana Pacers if they can steal this game on the road and go up 32 they put themselves in great position Kenny well they’ve got to win one on the road if they’re going to advance better here now and keep the pressure off of a game seven absolutely they played it even so far but to win titles you have to separate yourself from the competition mhm and that’s a halftime wrap let’s get back to the second half with the call by Kevin Harland and the crew and it’s time for more of the NBA Finals on 2K Sports what a time of year one of the stories here Jaylen Williams getting it done today and and if he can keep shooting from deep like he did in the first half he’s going to be more than a handful what I love is they’ve continued to feed this guy ride the hot hand until the defense does something about it [Music] pacers leading by five on the court right now for the Pacers the perimeter pairing with Nemhard and Matan seakin is the four and he’ll be next to Turner at the five and it’s Hallebertton moving at the point guard boy Pascal Seakin can put a ton of pressure on the defense this guy has a physicality that you love bases yet missed a free throw five for five [Applause] and he can’t get the first one [Applause] he’s off on the second and they’re trailing by five it’s Dort on the wing lamar covering dort with a screen for Gilas Alexander and the basket is good and he’s got a chance here for one more at the line jesus Alexander has that ability to adjust in midair take the contact that is nice this is his third free throw attempt of the game first personal foul first team foul at the line for yonder shil shooting one [Music] [Applause] that’s good from Gilgus Alexander boy the more you watch Shay Gil just Alexander play the more he shows you the aspects of his game just getting better and better and better nemo with it defended by Gordon the Burton looking around and a lot of contact on that one so he’ll shoot two here well this is part of the evolution of Tyrese Hallebertton getting an opportunity at the free throw line and these are his second and third free throws tonight two shots the first one falls so valuable to this team hallebert gives them whatever they need when they need it this guy is both patient and prolific [Applause] hallebertton hits them both well this guy has multiple ways to get to the free throw line and boy has his stroke been on the money up top gilas Alexander he’s covered by Hallebertton floss one up and Gilis Alexander with the layup gil Alexander’s got five points now in this court boy this guy is an absolute force of nature offens [Applause] the pass to Nepo off the mark oklahoma City trailer [Applause] homegrren in the buck he’s against Turner and that 7T frame of home makes him so difficult to guard [Applause] these are his third and fourth free throw attempts of the game chad taking two shots [Applause] shoot two free throw drops for Homer [Applause] and it’s tied up with that one over a minute and a half into the third quarter of action hallebertton passes to Matthew over Williams and he could not get that one to go out of contact and he’ll go to the line for two got one on Homegrren and battling against the interior of that defense nice to see that Pine has that toughness first trip to the free throw line for him in this one [Applause] free throw good matan boy when you think about Benedict Matin this guy is a talented aggressive scorer his ceiling very high and he’s going to have to be a little more efficient matan hits them both one thing you know about Benedict Matan this guy oozes confidence and he is an impact scorer outside Dors as to Harkenstein now here’s Holren five to shoot here is Williams for the lead gets rebounded by Indiana hallebertton’s got rebound number five for tonight on the way back falls nice feed that time from Hallebertton hallebertton’s got his fourth assist in this one thunder trailing by five here’s Hartenstein and it’s sent back by Turner you talking 6’1 and big time length send him back Mr turn Minan finds Nemo [Applause] green by Siak and oh boy a lot of contact there but he gets the call and will shoot two shot nine of 11 at the free throw line two shots [Applause] and the first one folks [Applause] so he hits one of two from the strike well trying to find themselves in the second half here just one for four from the field can someone in the group get hot let’s see so it’s the bases now after the miss Gil just Ellen i’m just so impressed with Siaku’s offensive improvement over the years i mean he’s mastering the ability to play in attack mode so the Pacers have shot 10 of 13 from the free throw line taking two shots [Applause] and the first one at the line is good [Applause] seiakum hits them both and Mark Dagno calls timeout looking for a breather and maybe just one or two things to talk about yeah heat [Applause] [Applause] heat heat [Applause] [Applause] heat heat [Applause] heat [Applause] heat [Applause] clock keeps going 3 minutes into the second half now pass to Homegrren hartinstein with the screen for Homegrren looking to end the run count that one grim’s got room for the big guy i like home calling for help so he can find his shot up top balls nice feet that time from Hallebertton hallebertton’s got five assists tonight and here is Homegrren back to Gilus Alexander [Applause] back to Homer trying to come right back with a three of his own but it’s no good indiana lead by nine outside Turner and it’s Turner finishing it off for Miles Turner so much of this is about confidence you love to see him convert in there that is nice and he’s got his first chance at the line here [Music] [Applause] well Miles Turner understands how to use his size and length doesn’t matter if he’s blocking shots or going for his high release point jump shot now here’s Gilas Alexander he’s got 21 goes back up he lays it in gil Alexander’s got seven now in this quarter really nice job to convert the putback opportunity there he stayed with that play from start to finish that’s something we say about him a lot catherine against Williams and the officials will call the illegal screen right there when a pick like that is questionable and creates that much of an advantage for the offense you have to blow the whistle i don’t think there’s any question there are so many rules that favor the offense these days you’ve got to be able to equal things out when an illegal screen is set now here’s Gilas Alexander he’s got 23 [Applause] back to Homegrren oklahoma City needs to get off the shot offensive rebound pass to Williams outside torch outside gil Alexander second chance effort basket counts gil Alexander’s got it back down within single visits for the Thunder and if you’re guarding SGA and the pick and roll boy stop the ball because otherwise Shay’s going to get to where he wants to go turner with a screen on Williams matherine for three d grabs the miss well when you’ve been struggling as he has you love that your teammates have really stepped up and taken the challenge matan against Williams pass to Hartinshot and the dunk by Hartinstein strong moving to the 10 trying to get his guys hard not to get motivated g right when your teammate makes that kind of play where was the defense no help you can’t afford to give up these kinds of buckets and Rick Carile decides to call timeout he wants to check in with his team and regroup heat heat heat up here alex Caruso checked in for homemith he’s checked in for the pace [Applause] hallebertton passes to Turner in the corner it’s knee Smith [Applause] allebertton outside pocket six launches it the offensive rebound here’s Nemhard defended by Dorch to the middle here’s Turner and Turner throws it down well exactly what you want from a guy in your pick and roll roll position he’s got to be able to set a firm screen and then find his opening now here’s Gas Alexander 25 points in the game inside here’s Neard defended by Dors to the paint here’s Turner it’s rebounded by Horton shot and they’re trailing by eight [Applause] over in the corner williams he’s looking for Hardenstein and finds him count the basket that’s the kind of

get it to go pacers leading by six [Applause] now Zakum softly pops in the fourth seakum’s got 22 points you know Pascalak and Cooking right now his focus is there and his game is on point williams for three the rebound by Hallebertton hallebertton’s got six rebounds now in the game two free throws coming up and they call the shooting foul and look at how the offensive approach has been going here so far for Indiana the three-pointers and how well they’re able to shoot them you wonder if they can keep it up and boy have they also been scoring on the break with how difficult it is to get buckets in the half court anytime you can push the ball in transition for easy ones that’s big time first one falls for champion for Oklahoma City [Applause] and that one goes in two from the line that time trailing by 10 [Applause] williams hits to Wiggins lays it up and in on the nice reverse wiggins has got seven points he’s got such a great touch around the basket that reverse easy moving

simple guys now it’s over to the rebound goes to the Thunder williams has got his fifth rebound in this one pass to Williams and two free throws coming up unable to get that one to go with all the content it’s going to be on Siak yeah easy call at the line for York City william Tas shooting two on the miss that free throw no good isaiah Joe he’s checked in for Dort the Pacers also changing it

good some solid defense from Bryant to the paint fouled on the shot picks up two points so one free throw coming up that’s an example of the toughness that Thomas Bryant brings to the table he will not go away this is his second trip to the free throw line for one free throw good bryant well you talk about a guy who is a great rim runner you’re talking about Thomas Bryant he’s also able to make that face up jump shot thomas Bryant just needs to stay healthy here’s Williams bryant with the rebound it’s hard for them to cut into this lead when he’s firing zeros all period he’s been so cold hallebertton passes to Bryant gets rebounded by Oklahoma City williams has got his sixth rebound on the night 54 seconds left to play here in the third [Music] williams a screen on McConnell and the call is going to be Yes yes it is an illegal screen beyond the leaning you could see his feet more set on that screen easy call you know he’s just leaning a little bit you try to get away with it but boy the official all over it now here’s McConnell seven points in the game pass to Hallebertton beyond the arc buries the long range jumper hallebertton’s got 21 in the game well after netting one in the first half that’s the second deep ball to go down for this guy wiggins finds Joe outside williams [Music] [Applause] to stop the run and the layup is good he’s got 19 and not being as aggressive from the three-point line anymore that they had a lot more attempts in that first half [Applause] hallebertton outside shoots the three and the last second attempt does not go in for it well through three quarters of play down double digits it may be difficult to overcome pacers lead by 12 and for 2K Sports we’ll be back here at Paycom Center right after this rick Carile had some words for his team let’s hear what he had to say hold your ground hold your ground your job is just to stay in front of this guy no blowbys preaching strong defense there G i mean basic fundamentals he doesn’t want to see anyone on this team get burned on that end and there may not be a lot of drama down the stretch as we head into the fourth quarter but stranger things have happened we’ve got Alex Caruso aaron Wiggins is out there with Williams then there’s Isaiah Joe and it’s Gilis Alexander in at the point that’s the lineup in the game for Oklahoma City that one drops for him well that’s a big time strong take right there by Shake gil Alexander on the deck score it yes sir defensive P tj M that’s his second personal foul first team Pel [Applause] [Music] pacers leading by nine mcconnell with just a hel and so will bring up the ball for the Thunder here’s Wiggins and contact on the shot so he’ll be shooting free throws here it’s going to be on Obie Toppin [Applause] and two guys shoot two free throw good wiggins and both free throws good for Wiggins pacers leading by seven and here’s Halbert to back to Hbert goes up and it makes it easy 23 points for Tyrese Hallebertton now the numbers speak for themselves but what Tyrese Hallebert is showing you the versatility he has at the offensive endo has the from outside off the mark not quite enough to pitch that turn around just lucky pitch to Hlebertton and Denise Smith indiana and they double up wiggins with the rebound wiggins has got four rebounds in this game outside Gilgus Alexander gets rebounded by Indiana toppins got his fifth rebound in this one here’s Hallebertton and that’s good off the glass that time hallebertton’s got 25 points in the game well you love to see guys willing to exploit the mid-range if that’s what the defender concedes go ahead and take it and a wideopen look for Gilas Alexander and Williams is right there pretty much all of their buckets coming from inside the paint now pacers leading by nine [Applause] here’s Hallebert and the shot goes in 27 points for him the Thunder have gone just 33% from the field in the fourth quarter so they are two of six it’s Gil Alexander with the drive shock up two there gil Alexander’s got 14 points here in the second half yeah teams will try to get physical in SGA make sure you understand that wiring is big time strong and Bryant slams it in well Thomas Bryant is the kind of length to get well above the rim nicely done great target on an alleyoop here’s Kilgen and he gets the whistle two free throws coming up yeah just nice strength there and then just off with the shot at the line [Applause] to Alexander taking two shots shoot two [Applause] [Music] that’s good from Gilgus Alexander Tort he’s checked in for the Thunder bradley’s checked in for Indiana andrew Nehard comes in for TJ McConnell that one misses indiana lead by 10 here’s the top end now defended by Caruso six on the shot clock that’s good and it’s 29 points for Tyrese Hallebert andrew yeah that’s the third bucket in a row from the paint this defense needs to clog those lanes in the middle gil Alexander against and the whistle blows as the basket counts and a three-point play chance right here on free throw coming out boy as we reach the latter stages he’s been in a ridiculous groove they simply can’t get over and the Thunder making a change here williams has checked in and a change for the Pacers brian’s checked in at the line for one shot save [Applause] indiana lead by nine quiet with a screen on Gilus Alexander pass Albert stolen by Dort oh and a fast break for Oklahoma City it’s stolen by Bryant and here we go fast break caliber now here’s N he’s tightly guarded gilas Alexander against Hallebertton good D by Gilgus Alexander williams finds Gildish Alexander [Applause] got it good job in the low post gil Alexander’s got 36 and really the scoring this quarter has been just off the charts doing all he can to bring him back [Applause] ryan against Williams [Applause] outside shot clock at six [Applause] shoots over Ellington hallebertton no good well terrific defense they obviously respect his ability and just want to make it tough and it’s going to be out of bounds the Thunder will retain possession check in for Williams indiana also making some changes turners check in for Thomas Bryant and it’s Pascal Siaka in for Topin here’s Gilis Alexander excellent defense there from Hallebertton [Applause] pass to Turner here’s Nemhard defended by Dort and the Pacers can’t get it to go they’re trailing by seven wiggins surveying the floor [Applause] seakum against Gilish Alexander over Seakum and again no good by Oklahoma City and so Siakum will bring it up for the base with it williams picks it up knee Smith can’t get it to go and he saw the play develop but the pass just wasn’t there it was a really good thought for sure but the lob has got to be better than that now here’s Gas Alexander [Applause] that shot is off excellent defense there from Hallebertton inside here’s Turner and they call the foul so he’s got the and one chance here to make it a three-point play the assist totals Kevin just continue to grow they’re way ahead in that category ball movement has been awesome and the Thunder with some changes martin Stein he’s checked in for Williams comes in for Aaron Wiggins and it’s Williams in for Alex Caruso and Indiana with a change here too mathan’s checked in that’s good from Turner you just look at the trajectory of Turner’s career he was raw coming into the league up and down for a number of years but when he put it all together he became a total package here’s shot it’s a nice pass by Oklahoma City covered by Seattle and Chad gets the three well the very definition of a stretch big right comes in with a reputation as a spacer and so it’s Rick Carw here are calling timeout it’s a chance for them to regroup and refocus [Music] heat heat [Applause] heat [Applause] [Music] [Applause] up here [Music] [Applause] a moment now to hear from our sideline reporter Hall of Famer David Alder david well during the break I listened in on Rick Carile’s huddle he likes the effort he likes the play he said “Look we’re rolling now guys let’s get that momentum and keep it and let’s make the most of it to win this series see if they can get it done.” Okay David thanks [Applause] hallebertton finds Matan hallebertton against Gilis Alexander turner with a screen for Hallebertton gil Alexander with the rebound and they’re trailing by seven [Applause] hardenstein with a screen on Hellbert [Applause] the bucket is good with a chance for one more it goes on Tyrese Hallebertton and this is SBA ro he’s out here to score and score often tyrese 15 [Applause] shooting one on the miss the free throw off from Gilgus Alexander you know seeing an uptick in his trips to the free throw line really since he came out of the half bounce pass here’s Hallebertton and foul on the shot so he’ll get a chance at the line this is where Hallebertton keeps you off balance defense never sure if he’s going to make a pass that time he up fakes you into a foul two shots [Applause] no good on that [Applause] and he’s good on the second now Gilgus Alexander [Applause] to the middle here’s Hartenstein the shots good gil Alexander making the play and when you thought this fourth quarter was simply a formality all of a sudden the offense picks up and now we have a game and one of the better athletes in his drive class Mata with quick lift off the floor and then the power to hammer it home so it’s the Thunder the Pacers making the shot outside Gilgish Alexander and the by Harden and how about the incredible timing on that he absolutely hammered it down on the wing [Music] indiana moving it around the five on the shot clock from deep three-point territory it’s rebounded by Oklahoma City [Applause] on the wing williams turner covering williams passes to Homegrren back to Williams homegrren with a screen on turn to the paint and stolen by Siakum and here’s the fast break seakum leading the way got a piece of it excellent anticipation by Luke Thor to get his hands on that one gosh this guy is relentless on that end outside with a screen on home shots good by Turner turner’s got 12 points here in the second half and using that improved court awareness Turner continues to make plays out of the pick and roll and the call on the shot it sends in to the line it goes on Tyrese Hallebert wow wow he got whacked on that one shouldn’t be much debate there shane is out of favor take a break take a break two shots first free throw is good got to get it let’s get it get it get it gilg Alexander hits them both well this is why you run your offense through him in important situations you know he’s going to deliver now here is Hallebert home with the steel right side to inside here’s Gilas Alexander well the tremendous length of the guard spot that Shay Gildas Alexander presents is a problem for a lot of defensive players shil Alexander taking two shots shooting two [Applause] got to get it and he misses the first one boy he wanted that one to fall [Applause] and he does get the second one and that narrows the lead down to just three he gets them to within one possession but that puts a lot of pressure on passes to turn with the screen and turns it down miles Turner comes up big in such a big time moment all right Miles we see you here’s George Alexander head shot off good work defensively by Turn Me Nehard with it picked up by Gilbert Alexander pass to Siaka [Music] turner with the screen for Siaka they grab their own miss and he gets the whistle two free throws coming up well Miles Turner consistently looking to shoot the basketball he forces the defense to make an aggressive play [Applause] [Applause] he hits the first one and that increases their lead to six [Applause] [Applause] and he hits both free throws here so now it’s a seven-point game well we know this free throw shooting is such a mental aspect of the game this guy keeps his composure and comes through and Mark Dagno calls timeout he’s clearly intent on wanting to lock in and make sure everyone’s on the same page [Applause] heat heat [Applause] let’s go heat heat [Applause] 112 left in the fourth quarter here’s Gilas Alexander sweet little floer’s got 43 points shay Gil just Alexander one of the calst most clutch players in the league that’s a big time moment with a screen on HR from 15 ft away seakum on the Pak and the Pacers lead by seven you know his positioning near the H always to his advantage just a terrific job to tip that one back in hartinstein with a screen on Hallebertton here’s Gilis Alexander and it’s sent back by Turner and I would not test Turner miles has led the NBA in blocks and just has great timing on his jumps glad we got the chance to see that remarkable rejection and this is postseason play at its finest refusing to give up shots here in the playoffs seakum against Homegrren the rebound by Turner this game looks like they’ve got it just about wrapped up yeah just got to work that clock and take care of the ball 7sec difference shot and game clock in passes to and there it is for him saw the opportunity to put this away and you can see the killer instinct take over and you want to save your best for last tonight they’ve done that and then some one shot shooting one [Music] [Applause] turner no good on the free throw and here are the Thunderdome they trail by nine points caruso no good so it’s Indiana picking up the win this was a pivotal game in the series so far and they were able to keep their heads great get the job done and take the allimportant three games to two lead now they can breathe just a little bit easier knowing they’re just one win away from closing this thing out
