show you Heat Heat N Heat Heat Can’t rec game five Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Here we go And so off the tip it’s Oklahoma City A look at Indiana’s starting group Hallebertton and Nhard the one and the two Nmith and Siakum are the forwards And it’s Turner in at the five spot Now here’s Williams Back to Gilgis Alexander somehow scores the layup in traffic Yeah teams will try to get physical with SGA but make sure you understand that wiry frame is big time strong Back to seek shoots over Holren Williams grabs the board Well terrific defense They obviously respect his ability and just want to make it tough Dort for three and that’s good His first bucket of the game Boy tremendous job having hands ready feet prepared Catch and shoot opportunity for Lou Dort is good Pass to Seakum Back to Hallebertton and he was camped in the lane there He gets a 3second call Here’s Oklahoma City now Gilis Alexander finds Homegrren Back to Gilis Alexander to the inside Here’s Hardenstein and Hardenstein slams it in Well there’s a craftiness to the play of Shay Gilis Alexander Shifts the defense around to get his teammate an open look Hallebertton The pass to Nith to halt the run Gets the three to fall Pick works well there but the defense left a lot to be desired It takes incredible effort to stay connected to the hip of the offensive player You’ve got to want to work Now here’s Dort Now here’s Hartinstein Pass to Williams Clock at six No good on the three Seaka looking it over Hallebertton with a ball Nimart outside and stolen by Hol And a fast break now for the Thunder And the big finish by Homegrren And a stunning play by Homegrren using his long stride to bound up the floor on a one-man fast break Outside Dmith Just over 2 and 1/2 minutes played here in the first Shot clock at five Indiana needs to get a shot off Here’s the three Seakum no good Oklahoma City leading by six And let’s swing it over to the sideline and hear from Alli A bit ago Mark Dagnel and I were able to jack We talked about this match up here tonight specifically what his team wants to do against Miles Turner Coach told me we need to push him out of the paint whenever we can and make him a jump shooter and live with those results If we can do that I think we’ll be in great shape guys Back to you and Ally Thanks And it’s Rick Carile calling timeout here He wants to review the game plan And in the first quarter about 3 minutes played Turner a screen on Gilis Alexander Hallebertton shot is good Yeah give Hallebertton credit for staying with the play You’ve got to be able to fend off that defense and still finish Pass to Homegrren Hallebertton against Gilis Alexander Hartenstein with a screen on Hallebertton Gilis Alexander passes to Hartinstein Hallebert’s outside over Gilg Alexander Shot is good off the back rim and in Well because he’s a three-level scorer anywhere he is on the floor Hallebertton capable of creating jumpers Gilis Alexander against Hallebertton Hardenstein with a screen on Hallebertton down low and Hardenstein slams it in Oh not the defensive effort they need to cut into the lead Well a good call You have to at least try to protect the rim They’re just too slow to react You can’t afford to sleepwalk through possession What’s going on out there turner no good And Williams has got the ball here for the Oklahoma City Thunder Six-point game And the foul is called He missed it So he’s got a couple of free throws coming his way Aaron Nesmith picks one up I mean Jaylen Williams is a guy who a lot of people are excited about He has the talent to be a multi-time all-star and perhaps an even higher ceiling than that And he drops a first and Williams drops them both Pacers trail by eight Hallebertton outside Nimhard outside Seakkum outside the three ball Down it goes And a great assist by Hallebertton Well we talk about Seakum stretching to the three-point line He knows no bounds out there My goodness that was long Gordon outside Pass to Homegrren from behind the ark The rebound by N Smith for Indiana They’ve gone four of eight and looking in control Seako pass to Hallebertton inside Here’s Nmith The Thunder pull it in Oh stolen by Turner And here’s Nimhard He’s scoreless Out of bounds It’ll be Oklahoma City’s ball Thunder leading by five He’s got outside Gilas Alexander The layup off target Oh it’s stolen by Gilis Alexander Basket counts and force feeding the ball inside I mean no reason to go away from what’s working Pacers trail by seven Caliber finds Turner And here’s Near on the take That shot is off Good work defensively by Dorton Williams passes to Homegrren Oh the lead pass was in the perfect spot to set up the layup Homer’s got his second bucket on the night The big story thus far how well they’ve shot the rock Hallebert against George Alexander outside D Smith Shoots it from the corner Nice spin off the left rim and in Well Miles Turner has earned the trust of his coaches He’s got the green light in these catch and shoot opportunities Gilg Alexander passes to Homegrren over the rebound by Turner Turner’s got four rebounds in the game Pass to knee Smith Now here’s Turner Turner screen on Hardenstein There’s N Smith with a three Alexander with a rebound Well the defense clearly was not interested in guarding him from downtown They’re very fortunate he missed Hardenstein against Turner Thor right side Williams from long range sends it home from three-point land Williams has got seven Well you got to be able to shoot fast in the league So it’s nice to see Williams doesn’t need a lot of setup time Seakum pass to Hallebertton He takes it in That one goes Count it Six points for him What a terrific play by just a tremendous allaround player This guy makes it look easy Door to screen on Hallebertton from deep Gil just Alexander Pacers with a rebound Turner’s got a rebound number five here tonight Seakum pass to Nith Back to Seakum Seakum Oklahoma City grabs a miss Homegrren finds Gilis Alexander Back to Homegrren Williams on the wing Knee Smith covering from downtown Kept alive and Hartinstein gets it to go And the Thunder lead by 10 The offensive game plan is clear Get it inside and go to work They have used their size and their strength to get off any shot they want They’ve dominated on the interior And we’ll have a timeout here called by Rick Carile A moment to rest and confer on the game plan Heat Heat Heat Heat So Oklahoma City going with almost an entire new group here Williams has checked in for Hardenstein Wiggins comes in for Homegrren Joe’s checked in for Dort And it’s Caruso in for Shay Gilgis Alexander So Indiana going with an almost entire new group here Toppen he’s checked in for Turner Matherin comes in for Nesmith Shepard He’s checked in for Nimhart And it’s McConnell in for Tyrese Hallebertton Now here’s McConnell Pass to Seakum over Williams and off the front iron and in it goes Seakum’s got five points Well this to me is where he can be a force Seakum a three-level score in the painted area Very dangerous Williams up top He’s covered by Matherin outside Williams He drops it from range 10 points for him And they’re behind right now because they’re failing to play quality defense It’s that simple Pass to Seakum Doesn’t go that time Some solid defense from Williams Boy with his shot not falling right now it might be time to look in a different direction See if you can get your teammate started Wiggins outside Six on the shot clock Excellent D there from Toppen That’s how you want to see them crash the glass They’ve been out hustled so far Williams against Matherin with the sevenfooter Here’s Seakum from six feet out He nails it Seakum’s got his third basket on the night right there Well the contact made that shot more difficult but Seakum stays with it and makes the shot anyway Nicely done Caruso The pass to Joe outside Williams Soft touch off the glass and the Thunder lead by 11 Well the advantage they have right now is largely based on his play What an outstanding night Seakum with it now Wiggins defending Got it That is about length and body control Pascal Seakum right to it Nice Williams against Matherin Outside Williams Williams A screen on Matherin The baseline Jay Williams misses Well that’s a blown defensive coverage but it doesn’t matter He cannot answer the bell Here’s Seakum Oklahoma City grabs a miss Williams has got his fourth rebound in this one Pass to Caruso Wiggins outside Williams with the screen to the middle And Williams punches it home They’re not wasting any time putting their stamp on this game What a start And they’ve been doing it largely at the offensive end If the defense does not adjust this could be a blowout Now here’s McConnell Still no points Toppin outside Caruso against McConnell to the paint Here’s Matherin and that’s good His first bucket of the game Man that’s now 10 straight points in the paint I’m not sure what’s happened to their defense Outside Williams lets it fly from 18 Again Oklahoma City They played with fantastic energy from the opening tip Well you set the tempo early and when you get command and control of a game it’s perfect And so it’s Jaylen Williams making things happen for the Thunder Between his scoring and rebounding an excellent period We’ll be right back after this word and let’s get you back onto the court for more of this pivotal game five All right guys Some stats here The scoring breakdown for the Thunder So far they’ve had a lot of success off fast break plays and they’ll probably continue to push the tempo as much as possible Yeah they’ve also been alert and active on the defensive end creating turnovers and turning those into points on the offensive end On the court for the Pacers second quarter underway They’ve got Hallebertton Benedict Matherin is out there with Tophen Then it’s Thomas Bryant and it’s McConnell in at the one from 13 Oklahoma City grabs a miss Listen simply put he’s got to finish that It’s not like the defender was right on top of him Oh the determination from Gilas Alexander Very long And SGA so effective around the hoop because of that length Hallebertton with the ball Joe grabs the miss Oklahoma City leading by 13 Pass to Caruso and he takes that one up and powers it through and adds a few more points to their lead Showing off some style Wow that was prime time stuff right there There’s a screen by Toppenhen Hallebertton for three Williams grabs the board And this is exactly who you want taking that shot He just missed it Just Alexander against McConnell Wiggins with a screen on McConnell inside Oh he took the contact and tried to throw it down over the top Instead he’ll shoot free throws It goes on Obi Toppen Yeah a strong move to the rack Draws that foul Oklahoma City shooting their third and fourth free throw attempts of the game And he knocks down the first one and he makes both free throws Pacers trail by 17 Trying to find a spark here Yes indeed A rough stretch offensively They could really use a basket Here’s a screen by Bryant Hallebertton for three Yes Tough points from Tyrese Yeah this is his game right hallebertton wants you to forget how deadly he is from threepoint territory Look out Wiggins with a screen on McConnell Tries it from the top of the key Gilas Alexander good Gil just Alexander’s got eight And just not letting up at all I mean you have to love this approach You want to get the ball to the guys who make plays One thing we’ve learned in the NBA the game is never over So you’ve got to continue to score continue to build your lead Shot clock at six Here’s McConnell Oklahoma City grabs a miss Now Gilgus Alexander Give him eight Excellent D there from Toppen to the inside and it’s in there Toppen’s got his first two points of the night Listen the painted area is where Obie Topphen can be so dangerous The athleticism and the tools he has Look out There’s a screen by Wiggins from deep Gilis Alexander and the three-pointer goes Gilis Alexander’s got seven points here in the quarter And here’s Hallebertton He’ll bring it up for the Indiana Pacers trailing by 17 Pass to Bryant And then Bryant with the dunk Boy the ability of Thomas Bryant to play over the top of the defense So impressive Gets long and finishes with authority McConnell against Gilis Alexander It’s hauled in by McConnell Pacers trail by 15 On the wing Matherin He’s guarded by Caruso Here’s Hallebertton Nine points in the game And he was fouled while in the act of shooting So he’ll take two free throws Two things you love here How confident Hallebertton is offensively The second is not afraid to take punishment while he’s shooting the basketball Indiana shooting their first free throws tonight Shooting two Free throw good Hallebertton What we know about Tyresese Hallebert this guy always ready to push the pace He’s got a ton of energy He’s willing to outrun and outwork other guys Hardenstein he’s checked in for Oklahoma City Gord comes in for Joe Turner he’s checked in for Indiana Nimhard comes in for McConnell And both free throws good for Hallebertton Well this guy has multiple ways to get to the free throw line And boy has his stroke been on the money Pass to Dort outside Gil Alexander Wiggins with a screen on Hallebertton from deep Gilas Alexander The Pacers pull it in Turner’s got his sixth rebound on the night tries the spin move Hallebertton looking for an opening over Gilg Alexander Hallebertton no good Oklahoma City leading by 13 Go And there’s a whistle He’ll head to the line to shoot two Oklahoma City shooting their fifth and six free throws of the game That one’s off and he sinks the second Yeah they they’re really cashing in more at the line here in the second quarter Pacers trail by 14 Now here’s Hallebertton 11 points in the game Pass to Toppin Shoots over Wiggins and there’s Toppen on the assist from Hallebertton Toppin’s got four points this quarter Yeah good on Topphen for making the most of a tough look Smartly adjusting his touch for the mid-range game Here’s Gilis Alexander Hallebertton with some nice D Boy this guy is a good finisher So he misses a chippy That’s tough to take The shot by Demhard No good Well we talk about the value of great rim protection That’s a shot he typically makes Gord finds Wiggins The Pacers pull it in outside Matherin Pass to Hallebertton Oh taking the contact Hallebertton Tyresese Hallebertton has it cooking guys He’s created good offensive momentum and he’s keeping his foot on the gas pedal Here’s Gilgis Alexander Another shot and he lays it up and in Gilgis Alexander’s got 13 The defense getting out hustled on the putback Can’t let that happen You have got to put a body on somebody We talk about it ad nauseium but you’ve got to be disciplined with the box outs The basket drops and he gets fouled on the shot One free throw coming his way and just a tremendous ability to finish No backing down at all from Matherine First trip to the free throw line for him tonight Chad Holgrim he’s checked in for Oklahoma City Jaylen Williams comes in for Caruso The Pacers also with a sub Seakum’s checked in And one thing Benedict Matherin has no shortage of is raw athleticism Now it’s just a question of him honing that physical ability to be an effective prolevel player Kill Alexander against Hallebertton SGA doing his thing in close I’ll tell you this lead’s not going anywhere with this guy making plays What a quarter And we’ll have a timeout here Called by Rick Carile I think right now he must be looking at some adjustments Indiana making a switch here Knee Smith’s checked in Pass to Turner Back to Nesmith Turner a screen on Dorton down to five on the shot clock back to Nmith from deep three-point range Hallebertton no good and it’s amazing their slim advantage on the board Seems a lot larger than it is Here’s Homegrren So it’ll be two free throws He was fouled in the act of shooting They’ll pin that one on Pascal Seakum I like whenever Homegrren uses his length to his advantage Great at forcing the D to foul him inside First trip to the line for him here That free throw good from Homegrren Yeah And many believe Homegrren must add muscle over time to his wiry frame We’ll see if he focuses on doing just that Caruso he’s checked in for Shay Gilis Alexander Both free throws good from Homegrren Boy from the moment Chuck Homegrren entered this league he has been an impact player on both the offensive and defensive sides of the floor Hallebertton The pass to Nmith And here’s Turner He’s guarded by Hartinstein Hallebertton outside There’s a screen by Turner A deep three And it’s Homegrren with a rebound And he probably thought he was going to bury that one Pass to Caruso outside Williams shoots over Nesmith and Williams gets the bucket on the assist by Caruso It doesn’t matter what position Jaylen Williams happens to be playing on any given night This guy’s a force offensively Seakum outside to the middle deflects a pass out of bounds It’ll be Oklahoma City’s ball McConnell he’s checked in for Hallebertton Thunder leading by 15 Pass to Homegrren Hartinstein with a screen on Seiakum Homegrren The pass to Hartinstein Man he made sure to get his money’s worth on that foul First trip to the free throw line for him in this one First free throw is good And so Hartinstein nails both of them Pacers trail by 17 Seakum outside Back to McConnell and count that Two points and a chance for one more at the line Boy we have seen Pascal Seakum really elevate his passing skills What an outstanding distribution right there Find the lane Find the lane What’s up Getting themselves to the line this quarter is a good way to get their offense rolling Oklahoma City leading by 14 And here’s Homegrren He’s got six three but outside the ark sinks it from distance Homegrren’s got five points now this quarter Well the very definition of a stretch big right homegrren comes in with the reputation as a spacer Malo passes to Turner Can’t get it to drop Good work defensively by Hartinstein And they’re plus five on the boards after that rebound Outside Williams Pass to Caruso Six to shoot He’s in his comfort zone Two for two to start this one And trust me when the D’s slow to react he’ll be the first guy to make them pay And that’s typical of this guy He’s always reading the situation reacting quickly and capitalizing Turner passes to Seakum Here’s Dort Launches a three Gets hauled in by McConnell Just terrible defense I don’t know how he missed that shot Nimhard left side Tries it from the block Some solid defense from Williams Here’s Oklahoma City now They’re on a 15-6 run and it’s out of bounds Last touch by Homegrren We’ve got 155 left in the first half of this one Pass to Turner The Thunder pull it in Hardenstein’s got five rebounds in the game Homegrren inside working on Seiakum Homegrren the pass to Dortm with a screen on McConnell Just five to shoot Caruso finds Hardenstein The three from Homegrren Pure from three-point range Homegrren’s got eight points in the quarter Yeah it’s just too easy for Homegrren Man is he fun to watch operate off the catch Seakum in the post He’s covered by Homegrren and he comes up with a bucket They seem to concede that shot and his response is “Thank you very much.” McConnell against Caruso outside Williams and Hartenstein slams it in How good a playmaker are we watching always leading always trying to create for others Indiana has gone one of four from three-point land here in the second McConnell with a screen on Dorton Back to McConnell Hartinstein pulls it in Hardenstein’s got six rebounds now in the game And you have to think that they’re leading this game because of how they’ve controlled the boards tonight 8sec difference between the shot clock and game clock down low Caruso against McConnell Caruso misses outside Nmith and that one goes in as he’s fouled It’ll be three points if he converts the free throw And this is his first trip to the line tonight Just 4 seconds left in the first half Fires from way outside and that’s not going to go misses at the buzzer And so it’s Oklahoma City out in front by 19 going into the break It hasn’t taken them too many shots to get their points They’re winning with efficiency All right now let’s check in with Ally Leforce Ally what do you have all right Ally thanks for that We will see everyone right back after this break Ready for the second half When you could dominate on the boards like that this is how it’s gonna energy is palpable in this arena Welcome back to the NBA Finals on 2K Sports Jaylen Williams really making a difference here Yeah they’ve done an amazing job of creating room to operate for him and then of course executing One of the things every player is after is efficiency at the offensive end And boy this young guy has done just that And with the second half upon us we’ll find out if this game becomes the route that it’s threatening to be Pacers trail by 19 Some serious height in the middle Homegrren the four Hardenstein the five Gilas Alexander runs the point with Gord at the two and it’s Williams in at the three That’s the lineup for Oklahoma City That’s Iris Hallebertton saying I’m not just a pure shooter folks I’ve got a little ups in my game Gil just Alexander passes to Homegrren Pass to Hardenstein Gilis Alexander against Hallebertton Now here’s Gilis Alexander the D’s right on it Got it again That makes him eight for 15 for the night This guy is so elusive with the ball in his hands SGA just understands how to get off the dribble drive Seakum outside Nimhard outside Nmith passes to Seakkum over Hardenstein Siaka no good They really have a commanding lead not just in points but in rebounds as well The three from Homegrren and that one falls His fifth basket in seven tries And this is why so many are high on Homegr His ability to dominate games with his scoring Hallebertton The pass to Deart Just a little over 90 seconds gone in the third quarter Hallebertton with the ball Now Gilgus Alexander defending Homegrren against Seakum And the officials whistle a foul on the shot The bucket is good and he’ll go to the line Well we’re talking about a tough individual competitor and Pascal Seakum He goes right at the defense and he’s got his first opportunity at the line here tonight I think the value of Pascal Seakum 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 The drive by Dort Can’t hit that one Nice D from Nimhard Pacers trail by 19 Hallebertton outside Back to Nimhart Dort with a steal and a fast break now for the Thunder and he caps off the break with a monster slam Well you see the combination of Newport at his best Makes the steal gets in transition and scores it Turner a screen on Gilis Alexander Hallebertton for three Up again Here’s Turner Goes up again and the layup is up and in Hey they’re just getting pushed around inside And so it’s Gil Alexander with it He brings it up for Oklahoma City 22 was their biggest lead Third quarter here and three minutes have come off the clock Hardenstein and Hardenstein slams it in Well this is the kind of pass that gets everyone excited It’s also how you build great team chemistry And we’ll have a timeout here Called by Rick Carile And we might see some changes Coach potentially looking to adjust Heat Heat Heat Heat Come on Heat Pacers trail by 21 Nimhard outside pass to Turner Outside Nesmith and here’s Seakkum for three Drops in the three Seakum’s got six points in the quarter Boy how far has the shot the perimeter game of Seakum come his rookie year he made one three all season Remember that Back to Gilas Alexander Uses the glass to finish the layup Gilg Alexander’s got 19 points And guys the way this defense is getting manhandled down low you have to wonder if they’re at 100% right now Lee Smith passes to Seakum and the rebound goes to the Thunder Harden Stein’s got seven rebounds in the game to the middle and there’s Gilis Alexander on the assist from Dort So Dorch got his fourth assist in this one Indiana’s gone one of two shooting from the perimeter since halftime And there’s the lob and then Seiakam with the jam Yeah there’s elite athleticism by Pascal Seaka makes that easy work to the right side Homegrren finds Dort fires for three and the rebound goes to the Pacers Outside Nesmith pass to Hallebertton Turner with it Hardenstein pulls it in Hardenstein’s got rebound number eight now Well that’s just inconsistency from him and it’s happened all night and it hasn’t helped their cause Their defense just falls apart once the ball goes inside Seakum outside Turner a screen on Homegrren And here’s Seakkum for three Nails it from three Seakum’s got 11 points here in the second half Well they’re not behind because of this guy He is putting on a tremendous run Williams on the wing N Smith covering from deep homegrren Seakum pulls down the board Seakum’s got four rebounds in the game Hallebertton outside Seakum against Homegrren Seakum Pass to Hallebertton Ooh plenty of contact on that shot Officials call the foul and he’ll take two free throws Now it’s going to go on Chad Holgrren Yeah this is part of the evolution of Tyrese Hallebertton getting an opportunity at the free throw line And a look now at how the offensive approach has been going here so far for Oklahoma City Well not content to take what the defense gives them I mean they’re attacking the gaps and getting the ball inside They’ve 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 They throw good Hallebertton Yeah it’s hard to argue against Hallebertton as the best passer in the league right now I know he’s the most exciting for sure Oklahoma City making a switch here Caruso has checked in The Pacers also with a sub Matherin’s checked in for Nmith He does not get the second one Thunder leading by 18 Dort with it Picked up by Matherin Caruso outside Back to Dort Pass to Gilas Alexander and slam felt by Gilgus Alexander Boy this guy is an absolute force of nature on the offensive end SGA I don’t know what the defense is going to do with you And there’s a whistle That’ll belong to Shay Gilis Alexander That’s his first foul of the game And that puts them just one foul from the bonus And here’s Indiana now outside Well you have to have awareness and focus Bill Alexander looking to make an impact defensively Pass to Williams Here’s Caruso He’s covered by Matherin Offensive rebound Boy if you’re going up against this guy in this close a range you’ve got to defend with everything you’ve got A tremendous job defensively Seakum the pass to Matherin This one for three Oklahoma City grabs a miss Hardenstein’s got nine rebounds now Garuso the pass to Gilg Alexander Williams from long range That one’s good And so Gilis Alexander with the assist Gilis Alexander’s got four assists now tonight Gilis Alexander against Hallebertton Fires the three Fires in the triple Hallebertton’s got 19 points One this half two for the game Staying active from beyond the ark Pass to Williams Caruso outside now Dort He’s guarded by Nimhart The shot by Dort No good Well they have the advantage but you still feel like this guy needs to find a way to get himself going Hallebertton outside That’s tipped Out of bounds It’ll be Thunderball Williams has checked in for Oklahoma City Toppin He’s checked in for Indiana McConnell comes in for Hallebertton Oklahoma City leading by 20 Gil just Alexander with a ball He’s got 25 for three Offensive board Pass to Caruso Fires the three Gets hauled in by McConnell Boy he won’t miss many from that spot The defense gets lucky there From deep and here’s Topphen from the arc Buries it from three Toppin’s got seven points in the game Well big men like Toppin need to shoot from range and he’s showing he’s got tremendous touch Caruso the pass to Williams to the inside and Williams gets the bucket on the assist from Williams Williams has got five points now this quarter McConnell against Gilis Alexander Another three for Indiana Man they’re having a hard time defending the triple That’s three in a row And that’s a foul called on TJ McConnell That’s his first foul Wiggins he’s checked in for Oklahoma City Joe comes in for Dort And the Pacers making a change here Joe The pass to Williams Spins and a foul called on the way up So he’ll take two from the free throw line Hey if you can’t block it sending him to the line can be the next best thing And he’ll take his third and fourth free throws of the night That free throw misses Bryant He’s checked in for Indiana And he’s good on the second Pacers trail by 17 And here’s Seakum for three They get the rebound Pass to McConnell Williams against Seakum That one’s good on the assist from McConnell Seakum’s got 14 points now in the second half Oklahoma City leading by 14 Here’s Williams And another miss by Oklahoma City You got to move past that one I mean they’d want him to take that again And they should because it’s when you start turning down that kind of look that your offense can start to bog down a bit Yeah Look at Matine making the snap decision acting before they can stop him Williams Passes to Wiggins Back to Williams Clock and four Floats one up Williams shot is good Williams has got his second basket of the night He is such a smart player Jaylen Williams making people around him better Seakum for three Oklahoma City grabs a miss Williams has got four rebounds in the game Outside Joe pass to Wiggins Outside Williams hits a three-pointer Williams has got five points now in the quarter I love the efficiency he’s playing with tonight Not scoring as much as usual but he’s been effective and they’re winning Seiakum pass to Bryant and they come right back with their own three-pointer When you let a team knock down that many threes you know you’re likely to be on the wrong side of a run And Williams has got the ball here for the Oklahoma City Thunder Earlier they held a 23-point lead and it’s rejected Boy impressive defense from top and twice on the pipe Send it back McConnell against Caruso McConnell passes to Seakkum Back to McConnell There’s the triple Just five on the clock And again it’s Indiana with a three Lackluster defense showing no desire to chase shooters off that line Williams up top guarded by Toppenhen Outside Williams And so he draws the foul headed to the line to shoot a pair It’s going to be on Thomas Bryant And the first one at the line is good So after making the first he goes one for two for three Matherin It’s good And give the assist to Seakum Seakum’s got his fifth assist in this one here in the second half They’re really focused on stretching the floor And guys boy when you’re hitting it sure does work It obvious points coming in bunches as we wrap up the third quarter It’s been a good one Oklahoma City ahead They lead by eight And we’re coming back in just a moment Get ready for the fourth quarter when we return And it’s time to bring up the State Farm assist of the game And I’ll tell you what this was a nobrainer tonight Take a look at the precision on this feed Couldn’t place it any better And when you’re the beneficiary of a pass that good you better deliver And he did just that Fourth quarter action is upon us Thanks as always for joining us And Indiana looking at who they’ve got to out there with Thomas Bryant Then there’s Tyrese Hallebertton Then there’s TJ McConnell And it’s Matherin in at the three Going all the way to the rack Transition basketball The most reliable way to generate easy looks The very definition of quality transition offense If it can end at the cup it’s exactly where you want it Let’s go with a three Hallebert misses Oklahoma City leading by 12 Wiggins with it Picked up by Mather No stopping him there jams it in and he’s fouled An opportunity at a three-point play Benedict Matherin picks one up Find the lane Find the lane One shot And that one misses Pacers trail by 14 Matherin passes to Hallebertton inside Outside Maverick the three Hey in six attempts he’s made five Talk about efficiency A dozen consecutive points off of threes This defense looks rattled Here’s Gil’s Alexander Pass to Caruso Williams with it Covered by Bryant Wiggins looking around Here’s Gilis Alexander Gil Alexander sinks a big one They have no answer defensively inside Final quarter here and we’re just over a minute and a half through it Three-pointer Hallebertton knocks down the triple Hallebertton’s got 22 Building confidence in that deep ball One from distance in the first two in the second Caruso up top shoots over McConnell and it’s off the back of the rim No good Pacers trail by 10 Matherin It goes again His sixth basket in seven tries Great body control allows Matherin to finish through contact Now Gilis Alexander pass to Wiggins The 17-footer Caruso misses I’ll tell you even though he’s not playing his best basketball the team has played well and picked it up I love it Ko passes to Hallebertton Lets a three play Oh Harley the rain maker And I’ll tell you this thing looked pretty much over heading into the fourth but give them a lot of credit for fighting their way back Back to Gilis Alexander shoots over McConnell and he didn’t get quite enough under that one And Hallebertton has got the ball here for the Pacers trailing by five Bryant and then Bryant with the dunk They closed the gap over the last few possessions but can they push through and grab the lead yeah it feels like they’ve ramped up their intensity They have forced good things to happen Now they’re back in it Streak it in Here’s Hallebertton And the dunk by Hallebertton They’ve been aggressive during this run but they’ve also played under control I think the communication on offense is working at every level right now What a run for this group Lord he’s checked in for Joe Nimhart He’s checked in for Indiana All right let’s check in with Ally Leforce Hi guys Well Mark Dagnel was just reviewing the plan with his team He seemed pleased with this team’s performance saying quote “We’re on track We’re doing everything right Keep it tight out there and let’s take back the lead in this series.” Back to you Great work Ally Thanks Let’s remember Shake Alexander is 6’6 so getting on the interior is not a problem And a look now at how the offensive approach has been going here so far for the Pacers Their offensive game plan has been simple Look to shoot it often from outside the arm And the results have been outstanding I think the other thing they’ve done exceptionally well tonight is shoot the mid-range and take advantage of those opportunities Anytime they’re given a look they have delivered That free throw good from Gilg Alexander What’s been amazing to watch is Shay Gil Alexander going from good player to now putting his name at the very top of the list in terms of great guards in the league That one misses He missed a chance to put them up by three You know he’d like to have that one back Pass to Hallebertton Now Tin now here’s Nimhard Dort defending Five on the clock The shot by Nimhard No good The Thunder have got four of eight shots to drop here in this final quarter Wiggins with a screen on Hallebertton Gilas Alexander passes to Wiggins into the lane and Bryant pulls it down Indiana on offense They’re on a 15-3 run to the paint Jordan with a double team and it’s going to be a 3second call Boy that’s the last thing they needed this game Too close to be making those kinds of errors Got you Here you go Here you go Thunder with a lead One shot Here’s Gilas Alexander Dor outside Knocked away Dors with a steal Wiggins outside Caruso outside Beyond the arc Hits the trifecta Caruso’s got five points now this quarter Cool calm and collected at a critical juncture in this game There’s a screen by Tom Here’s Nhart out of bounds It’ll go to the Thunder Oklahoma City leading by five Williams with the screen Gil just Alexander from outside and Toppin pulls it down Toppin’s got seven rebounds in the game Back to Matan Pass to Bryant It counts and the foul It’s going to be on Alex Caruso Yeah I really like their game plan offensively coming out of the half They’ve been efficient and effective but they’re still chasing the lead So for Oklahoma City Hardenstein he’s checked in for Williams Williams comes in for Wiggins And Williams is subbed in for Caruso Miles Turner he’s checked in for Indiana Seakkum comes in from Aan 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 just Alexander on the wing defended by Halbert and he got the whistle on the way up So he’ll be headed to the line for a pair Take a break Take a break That free throw good from Gildas Alexander What you love about Shay Gilis Alexander is this young man’s work ethic He is a gym rat who’s always looking for ways to improve Joe’s checked in for Oklahoma City Benedict Matherin he’s checked in for Indiana Both free throws good from Gilgis Alexander He couldn’t get to the line once in the first half Coach must have really talk to him at the break Seak outside Solid defense from Williams And so it’s Williams with it He brings it up for the Thunder Earlier they held a 23-point lead They’re going at it on offense Neither team backing down I’ll tell you we have seen great execution from both teams Neither one giving an inch here Seakum outside Cranked it in off the glass Seakum’s got 27 Yeah this is where the length of Pascal Seaka makes him so hard to stop Even with contact he’s able to get through or around Williams against back to Gilis Alexander The big triple Gilg Alexander If it ain’t broke don’t fix it They should continue to ride the hot hand Hallebertton pass to Turner The three Valerant mounted from distance 19 points in the game Woo he’s been hot from out there helping to keep them in this game And you don’t need to tell him that He’s used the three-point shot as his primary weapon today Joe pass to Williams Back to Joe and he gets it to go Joe’s got his first two points That’s been typical of their performance today They’re sharing the ball and creating good shots Seakkum outside Back to Hallebertton Nimart outside Pass to Seakum Six on the shot clock Oh and there’s the whistle on the shot So two free throws for him coming up Well with that 6’9 length right Seakum uses those long limbs to create contact get himself some free throws Nicely done The first free throw is good One of the things that we’re watching happen with Pascal Seakum is the willingness to accept more and more responsibility both from a leadership and a productivity standpoint guys and it has been something else to watch that growth Homegrren he’s checked in for Joe and the Pacers also making a change Nmith’s checked in and that one goes in two from the line that time Thunder leading by four Outside Gilg Alexander Shay Gildas Alexander has become the master at drawing fouls shooting two We’re going to push it on the miss We’re going to push it on the miss That free throw good from Gilgis Alexander Both free throws good from Gilas Alexander Here’s Hallebertton Pass to Turner and here’s Nhard The three is up Connects from downtown They’re really employing a deep range initiative here in the fourth and it’s working It feels like they have worked their perimeter game to perfection Swinging the ball cashing in from the outside What a performance all night He has made an impact at the offensive end Now he’s trying to shut the door Seakum outside Turner screen on homere to the inside Turner with the dunk Well the beauty of Pascal Seakum’s game he’s still growing and the guy is so unselfish Outside back to Gilas Alexander tries the spin move Clock at six Fires from 14 Indiana with a rebound Seakum’s got rebound number seven tonight Pass to Turner There’s a screen by Turner Shoot from 12 A tad short but it’s good off the front iron And it’s now only a one-point Oklahoma City lead And Gilis Alexander’s got the ball here for Oklahoma City Down low Gilis Alexander with the hammer Shay Gilgus Alexander One of the calmst most clutch players in the league That’s a big time moment And we’ll have a timeout here Called by Rick Carile He was quite emphatic demanding the timeout Clearly wanting to address strategy with his team Everyone heat Back to Nmith Pass to Hallebertton Oh Hallebertton He is game Hallebertton has the kind of personality that keeps him steady in big time moments How about that unfades Gil Alexander against Hallebertton Gil Alexander passes to Homegrren Shot clock at six Hallebertton with some nice D Indiana trailing here Linhardt with it and it’s D picking him up to take the lead Here’s Seakum and he misses the go ahead basket and that close out certainly made a difference Well no question he altered that shot and most of the time that’s just as good as blocking it An excellent opportunity here sees in the lead right now would be they set the screen the Thunder with the rebound outside Gilous Alexander uses the glass on the layup Gil Alexander’s got 43 points What a moment for Gilg Alexander in the clutch Yes sir Homegr against Seattle Oh and he got fouled on his way up He’ll head to the line to shoot two It’s going to go on Chad Homegrren And that hurts as he doesn’t get the first one to fall Trying to focus now for the second And that trip showing up empty Missing both Thunder leading by three Here’s Gilis Alexander Yes Pass There is no moment too big No pressure too heavy for Mr Shake Gildas Alexander The delivery is on time Inside Seakam in the post home’s there and he’s going to the line for two The officials saw contact while he was going up put on first and that shrinks the margin to just four Seakum hits them both Yeah they desperately needed those free throws and he delivered It’s down to a one possession game They’ll probably slow things down now Burn the clock while you have the lead I like that And there’s a whistle that’ll belong to Shay Gilus Alexander So that’ll be his second foul of the game We’re in the bonus We’ll go to the line to shoot two He gets the first and that brings him within two here Seakum hits them both Well this is why you run your offense through him in important situations You know he’s going to deliver Gil just Alexander with a ball Turner covering and the stakes were high right there What a bucket I’ll tell you that changes things doesn’t it good job young fella What a game And we’ll have a timeout here Called by Rick Carile Critical moment here He’s not taken any chances 29 seconds left in the game Oh well a huge basket to tie the game That’s one of those clutch shots he’s known for When the pressure is high he seems to be the most locked in And we’ve got a timeout called by Mark Dagno The pressure is on and he’s got a plan to share with his guys 27 seconds left in the fourth quarter Now here’s Gilis Alexander Hardenstein with a screen on Hallebertton Gilas Alexander passes to Williams Five to shoot 18 ft out Gilas Alexander finds Dort Oh he missed it Time expires We’re going to overtime We’ll take a quick break and then get you glad to have you with us as we get going in overtime Neither team giving an inch in this game And here’s Hallebertton Some serious height in the middle Homegrren the four Hardenstein the five Gilgus Alexander runs the point with Gord at the two and it’s Williams in at the three the small forward There are no easy comebacks but they really had to dig deep for this one Yeah to start off with so many mistakes and still now find a way where everything’s working It allows their momentum and confidence to continue to build Six on the shot clock Here’s Gilch’s Alexander The rebound by N Smith You got to love how they’ve been crashing the boards fighting hard for every miss Indiana leading Hallebertton with a ball Here’s the teardrop The body control of Hallebertton Tough When Hallebertton gets this close to the cup he’s got that little teardrop Very tough to stop it Here’s Gilis Alexander gets the bucket and the foul It’s going to be on Tyrese’s Hallebertton I love this game plan That’s 10 points in a row from the close One shot That free throw good from Gilgus Alexander Overtime just getting started here Just about a minute in Seakum outside Back to Hallebertton outside D Smith fires from deep The Thunder pull it in So Dorch’s got four rebounds in the game Outside Williams Dor pass to Homegrren Now here’s Hartinstein Pass to Gilgus Alexander Yet another bucket That’s 52 points for him Making it all look too easy right now Hallebertton pass to Dear up top Seakov The three is up The Thunder with the rebound Harden Stein’s got rebound number 11 to the middle and Williams punches it home That’s the athleticism you talk about with Jaylen Williams This guy can get off his feet And it’s Rick Carile calling timeout here No doubt he’s going to utilize the opportunity to make sure they’re all on the same page here Heat Heat Here’s Nimhart We are in overtime if you just joined us 2 and 1/2 minutes through it Here’s Hallebertton driving in and that time also a miss shot Thunder leading by three Williams passes to Gilg Alexander A rebound by Turner Turner’s got rebound number 13 tonight with that one Hallebertton Pass to Seakov And here’s Turner He’s guarded by Hardenstein Three-pointer Hallebertton drains the triple Hallebertton’s got seven points here in the quarter Great shooters trust their shooting motion Tyrese Hallebertton with the jumper Just Alexander against Hallebertton Jose Alexander passes to Williams Takes a three Just five on the clock and they get it back The steel and stolen by Williams Pass to Hardenstein Gourd with it Here’s Gilchis Alexander defended by Hallebertton Here’s Nesmith And so he draws the foul headed to the line to shoot a pair So the first one drops and that gives him a lead So he goes two for two at the line and it’s a two-point ball game You know he doesn’t let that opportunity slip by Bur some big shots at the line Alexander looking it over from deep Hol Oh the long ball from Homegrren These moments are important for Homegrren’s development He needs to keep sinking those big time shots Homegr against Seakum now right side pass to Nart the Pacers again can’t hit and Homegrim’s got the ball here for the Oklahoma City Thunder earlier they held a 23-point lead Alexander no good from 11 ft now Hallebertton and he’s going for the lo and stolen by Holren gets stored on the wing He’s covered by Seakkum That’s to Homegrren The Pacers pull it in This might be a turning point Massive possession here There’s a 4second difference from the shot clock and the game clock The pass to Seakum Oh offline And they commit an intentional foul We’ll see another one of those So they get into the penalty Yeah just a must foul situation to stop the clock And an intentional foul right there Take a break Take a break Two shots He drops the first one and that’ll put him up two And so he drops them both and it’s a three-point game Boy it doesn’t get much bigger than that A perfect trip to the line to give them the critical three-point cushion What poise And it’s Rick Carile calling timeout here And coach didn’t want to take any chances in this situation which is why he called the toaching perspective What are the keys to focus on here tricky situation here They need some kind of bucket to stay alive And it’s either got to be a three-pointer or a score quickly and take the foul Heat Heat And it’s the Pacers with the ball It’s a three-point game And they need to stop the clock So there’s the foul Yeah And there’s no question they have to foul now I’m sure they would have preferred to avoid it And he misses the first one Boy he wanted that one to go And he can’t make the second free throw either Missed them both The whole arena knows they need a three And good There’s another He’s on a tear offensively lighting up the scoreboard with a purpose And how about this he now holds the team single game record for postseason scoring And Mark Dagnel has called a timeout There is a lot on the line and he is determined to make sure everyone’s on the same page Here’s Gilg Alexander Ooh no good there Potential game winner was off the mark Another as we play into another overtime the tension continues to build Both teams refusing to lay down Here we go Now here’s Nimhard Dort defending Now Nimart Turner a screen on Gilis Alexander Allever for three Connects again from distance and he’s letting it fly from long range to devastating effect and has now tied the franchise record for triples in a playoff game Just Alexander against Hallebertton Here’s Williams and Williams punches it home They were totally in sync on that play Targeted the pass beautifully and Hallebertton has got the ball here for the Pacers They lead by one Oh a clear foul there on the miss shot So he’ll get a pair at the line Oh forcing the issue Hallebertton in attack mode He misses the free throw Good on the second one And it’s the Thunder with the ball pass to Hartinstein and Hardenstein slams it in Well you see SGAA and the strides he’s making as a playmaker This guy is so good on point with his reads Nimhard outside with it back to Nith kicks it out to Seako Clock at six Screen on Homer And here’s Seakos for three The Pacers again can’t hit And for the Thunder they’re shooting about 56% in this one Homegr The pass to Williams And there’s the screen Shoots over Nith A little luck that time as it drops Williams has got six here in the corner Indiana trailing here Here’s Nimhart down low Here’s Seakum Oh an amazing finish with a hand right in his face This guy’s got incredible allaround skill set Pascal Seakum from the paint Yes sir Here’s Williams It’s rebounded by Indiana Now here’s Nart to the inside Here’s Turner and then Turner with the dunk And this is why Miles Turner is such a high percentage scorer You combine length athleticism and basketball skills Good luck with that defense Pass to Gilis Alexander Hallebert with a steal Unloads from 13 Oklahoma City grabs a miss Got rebound number eight here already in the game Dort finds Gilas Alexander Thor a screen on Hallebertton Back to Dort Williams from long range Drills it from deep Williams has got 31 Williams is like a vibe I mean this guy gets it He knows they need points there and he takes it upon himself to deliver Seakum pass to Smith Seakum against Holdren Six to shoot Hallebertton No good And he almost made them regret defending him so loosely Here’s Williams Pass to Gilas Alexander Another bucket Wow This game has his name written all over it He has been phenomenal An offensive onslaught Seakum against Homegrren turn screen on Homegrren Here’s Seakum and he can’t make that one in Oklahoma City leading by three Pass to Gilas Alexander Another one falls Amazing And he’s been dominant so far in this one shouldering the offense Really taking it to the opposition Seakum outside Here’s Turner Now Seakum Let the floater go and a foul called on the way up So he’ll take two from the free throw line Boy Pascal Seakum can put a ton of pressure on the defense This guy has physicality that you love First free throw is good and that shrinks the margin to just four Seakum hits them both So it’s Oklahoma City now Earlier they held a 23-point lead with the floater So it’ll be two free throws He was fouled in the act of shooting They’ll pin that one on Pascal Seakum Well there’s a level of aggressiveness that you must contend with with Gilus Alexander on the offensive end You love to see him force the issue He hits the first one and that gives him a four-point cushion So he gets them both and it’s a five-point game He knew what was riding on those foul shots and didn’t mess around making this a two-possession game And we’ll have a timeout here called by Rick Carile He’s looking to make some very important adjustments here Let’s hear from our analysts Give us your take on the strategy being discussed right now They don’t want to waste time here If they can score fast enough they can go back on D and try to get a stop instead of having to foul pass to Turner And here’s Seakum Back to Turner And stolen by Hardenstein And they go to the intentional foul First free throw is good and that increases the lead to six and he hits both free throws here and it’s a seven-point game Stellar work at the charity strike trying to build out this lead and you know they’re extremely disappointed right now I mean this one getting away from them Well they definitely have some things to work out and you would love to see them finish this game the right way And now we’ve got an intentional foul shooting two He gets the first and that increases the lead to six And he cannot convert on the second that misses So it’s the Pacers now Out of bounds It’ll be Thunderball You can tell the moment the pass left his hands he knew he messed up And so they foul intentionally He drops the first one and that makes it a seven-point lead And so both free throws good and it’s an eight-point ball game Time called here Indiana decides to talk it over They’re trailing by eight All right guys What’s your take a lot to talk about here but hey this game is likely out of reach Well maybe it could wait until after the game because this one is over Here’s Hallebertton No good A bit long that time This OT has been somewhat lackluster mainly because both teams are clearly exhausted And I’ll tell you what this game is in the books Not quite sure why they’re delaying the inevitable by fouling And no good as the first free throw misses We’ll see if he can hit the second That’s off as well So he misses both Carterstein finds Williams Gord for three Sinks the tray They’ve been a different squad here Going to be a thunder Here we go First trip to the free throw line for him tonight on the floor for Indiana Hallebertton and Nhard the one and the two Seakum at power forward with Turner in at center and it’s kneemith in at the three Now here’s Williams to the paint Here’s Holren There’s Holren on the slam And you know as a roller coin shows great hands and he makes nice adjustments moving down outside Lee Smith with it working on Williams Here’s Nimhart He buries it from three Nimart’s got six What a beautiful stroke from range Defensively you’ve got to try to take him out of his comfort zone outside Williams Oh nice D from N Smith Never easy to stop this guy at the rim but that is a beautiful contest right there Seakam gets the bucket Wow what a start to this half Three for three dictating the pace on the offensive end They’re rolling early Gilg Alexander passes to Homegrren Shot clock at five Ooh the toughness of Homegrren Boy that’s three for four this half You like that they’re starting with a little bit of extra energy Nice Seakum outside Nimhard outside Hallebertton A screen on Dorton Nimhard The pass to Seakum Here’s Turner And then Turner with the dunk Miles Turner is simply a workhorse I mean he keeps plays alive with his length and activity Gilas Alexander passes to Homegrren Back to Gilas Alexander Taking it inside SGA on fire to start the second half 45 from the field and Hallebertton has got the ball here for the Pacers Six-point game Turner with the dunk How about that he’s 7 ft tall and Miles Turner because of that ability to move in any direction at any moment is a big time problem inside Now here’s Holgren Give him eight points Now outside Williams good now seven for 11 on the night and he is stronger than he looks trust me I mean Williams has the bulk to win those tough battles inside outside Dmith inside that’s good’s got seven now in this corner thunder Er leading by four That’s to Homegrren Gets Dort on the wing Hardenstein with it Here’s Williams Second chance effort Oh and there’s the whistle on the shot So two free throws for him coming up And they’ll give that one to Miles Turner And these will be his second and third shots at the line here He’s off on the first Tophin He’s checked in for Indiana on the mission on the miss and the second free throw is good Pacers trail by five Hallebertton for three Oh Hallebertton deadly from deep They’ve been pretty lax with their perimeter defense giving up a lot of three-pointers And we’ve got a timeout called by Mark Dagnel Coach wants to speak to his guys maybe alter some of the game plan Heat up here So it’s Oklahoma City now At one point they led by 16 Hartinstein with a screen on Hallebertton Fires high post and the shot is good Drop it in off the front of the rim Gilgis Alexander’s got 21 points in the game Pacers trail by four Lard the pass to Seakum Rejected by Homegrren Wow I mean the 7’6 wingspan coming in handy Homegrren loves swatting away shots just like this Lee Smith passes to Hallebertton The ball’s knocked loose Oh it’s stolen by Gilis Alexander and it’s Williams off the drive Oh nice D from Nith It’s been that kind of quarter for him The shot has just been unreliable Hallebertton finds Seakkum Back to Hallebertton Spins Second shot opportunity Oh the sweet touch inside by Hallebertton Looks like we’re starting to see a pattern here Not afraid to get in the paint and get wet Gilgis Alexander against Hallebertton Homegrren with a screen on Hallebertton And the big finish by Homegrren And before he even leaves the floor Congr has the ball at rim level Hallebertton outside Pass to Seakum Hallebertton with a ball Martin Stein covering Hallebertton Pass to Seakum Down it goes And a great assist by Hallebertton Hallebertton’s got his third assist of the night here in the second half They’re really focused on stretching the floor And guys boy when you’re hitting it sure does work It obviously opens up major options at the offensive end Now here’s Gilg Alexander Five on the clock Here’s Williams Gets it to go from 8 ft Williams has got 20 Well this guy has been efficient and effective all night That IQ has been on display Here’s Hallebertton Another one falls for Indiana Dyres Hallebertton is putting in work right now This guy getting to his spots and scoring with ease Hallebertton against Gilis Alexander Back to Dor Stolen Here’s Seakkum and no good Had a chance to take the lead and Pomgrren’s got the ball here for the Thunder They lead by one Dor for three Knocks down the long J So Dorch got himself going with a triple His first basket of the game Here’s Nimhart He has six Tophin outside Nimhard outside Shot clock at six Oklahoma City grabs the miss That’s a shot he makes with regularity but that time the defense up to the challenge Williams misses Pacers trail by four Here’s Seakum The shot no good Good work defensively by Hartinstein Here’s Homegrren Shot is off Four for seven in the game now Nhard with it And it’s Dor picking him up and he sinks that one hitting the back of the rim on the way in Hallebertton’s got 19 points Hallebertton a huge part of this offense which is why he has the confidence in these catch and shoot situations No hesitation Now here’s Gildas Alexander 21 points in the game Pass to Hardenstein for it outside Hardenstein passes to Homegrren The three The rebound by Nemhard Indiana’s gone three of four from outside in the second half Down low and stolen by Hardenstein Here’s Hren Holren finishes with style in transition And guys what do you think about the hustle stats for Oklahoma City their defensive intensity has served them well It kept the offense scrambling and resulted in several steals And let’s give them credit to the shot blocking on display They set the tone early and have kept the pressure on defensively And we’ll have a timeout here called by Rick Carile He’ll take the opportunity to regroup So for Oklahoma City Williams has checked in for Hartinstein Wiggins comes in for Chad Homegrren And it’s Alex Caruso in for Gilgis Alexander Benedict Matherin he’s checked in for Indiana McConnell comes in for Tyrese Hallebertton Thunder on D At one point they led by 16 and stolen by Williams Maverick against Williams Wiggins outside Williams a screen on Toppen Here’s Wiggins Off with the layup Well we didn’t see the same kind of control we’re used to seeing from him This guy is usually a tremendous finisher Maverick finds top to the inside and stolen by Caruso Outside Williams Wiggins outside pass to Dort Clock at six Wiggins No good Pacers trail by four Gathering passes to McConnell Seakum with it Williams defending Seakum against Williams Limart Oklahoma City grabs a miss Williams has got four rebounds now with the drive and he converts the layup Williams has got six here in the corner Oh I love the ferocity on the drive Williams doesn’t lack confidence tearing towards the rim McConnell outside pulls it in from the elbow That drops and it comes off an assist from Seakum Seakum’s got his fourth assist in this one Caruso against McConnell Wiggins for three Gets the three ball to go Wiggins has got 13 He’s a go-to guy for them because he’s that consistent Time and time again he delivers against Williams Outside for McConnell Parked it down low that time Got hit with the 3second call Joe’s checked in for Dor The Pacers also with a sub Shepard He’s checked in for Nimhart Thunder leading by seven Caruso outside Pass to Wiggins And he was fouled in the act of shooting Opportunity for a three-point play here Their interior D continues to look shaky Not a good matchup for them right now He shot two free throws in the games made one and missed one The Pacers making a switch here Bryant’s checked in Get there’s 53 seconds left in the third Seakum outside Got it again That makes him eight for 15 for the night I’ll tell you despite this guy’s strong play in this period they’re still behind Someone else has got to step up Wiggins with a screen on Tophen to the middle Oh it’s stolen by Seakum Hey right here 24 seconds left in the third and it’s Matan missing and they just continue to dominate the boards Here’s Williams Oh and he got fouled on his way up He’ll head to the line to shoot two 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 The free throw drops for Williams It’s both from the stripe Wiggins against Seakum There’s the three Oh it would have counted had it fallen but it is offline And so it’s Jaylen Williams making things happen for the Thunder He’s been lighting it up tonight 24 points More Rick Carile had some advice for his team Let’s hear what he had to say Keep playing Keep playing Don’t worry about it Don’t worry about it A lot of game left but hang in there guys Hang in there And some encouraging words from Rick Carile pleading with his guys to stay strong Yeah Ba he wants to keep them from getting into their heads You have to trust the system and play with confidence Then everything evolved from there And let’s get you back onto the court for more of this pivotal game five Aaron Wiggins out there with Alex Caruso Then it’s Shay Gilchis Alexander It’s Isaiah Joe and it’s Williams in at the center position That’s the lineup for Oklahoma City They really have a commanding lead not just in points but in rebounds as well Gil Alexander on the wing SGA working through contact inside We’ve seen that more than once today An effortless basket inside McConnell against Gilgus Alexander toen outside Allebertton outside 13 ft out Oklahoma City grabs a miss Bill Russo’s got his fourth rebound in this one Gil just Alexander feeling it out a bit Wiggins from long range The Pacers pull it in outside Matherin Hallebertton outside cash toen outside for McConnell Just five to shoot and there’s a 3second violation I think that’s going to stick with them for a while Huge mistake at a critical juncture in the game and I think the intention doesn’t always equal the result Wrong play wrong time McConnell against Gilis Alexander And he can’t get that one Great D that time from McConnell We’re about 2 minutes into the fourth here Alleton outside three-pointer Score it 13 shots nine makes Solid He’s hit four now from behind the arc Two in each half Making an impact Caruso against Mather Wiggins outside The shot that time not on target Pacers trail by nine McConnell outside pass to Hallebertton Launches it Williams grabs the board Williams has got five rebounds in the game outside Joe’s Alexander passes to Joe Wiggins down low He’s against Tophen And the shots good by Wiggins More points coming from inside In that respect they’ve been the more aggressive team Oliver outside and count the basket He was fouled and he’s going to the line for one more And the Thunder making a change here Dors checked in and the Pacers also making a change Nimhart’s checked in Free throw no good for Hallebertton A superb scorer and a talented distributor Tyresese Hallebertton is exactly the type of point guard every team would love to have And Hallebertton has got the ball here for Indiana So far in the fourth they’ve allowed just six points Coffin a screen on Gilis Alexander Here’s Hallebertton out of bounds of the Oklahoma City’s ball And even losing big you have to maintain composure if you want to avoid embarrassment And we’ve got a timeout called by Mark Dagnel He is not messing around Calling them into the huddle Time now to hear from our reporter Ally Leforce Hi guys Well Mark Dagnel was just reviewing the plan with his team He loves what the D has been able to accomplish saying to his team “Every turnover is a big success for us Keep forcing those errors Don’t let them feel comfortable out there So expect them to keep trying to be disruptive.” Appreciate the report Ally We’ve played just over three and a half minutes now in the fourth quarter Caruso outside Pass to Wiggins Takes it inside Off target at the rim Pacers trail by 11 And he lobbs it up to the rim and a slam dunk by Toppen Explosive above the rim player Mr top and have at it now Gilas Alexander Wiggins outside Williams with the screen Wiggins passes to Williams and Williams punches it home Well what he lacks in size for a trip center he makes up for with all that athleticism Boy can he elevate Nimhard outside high arcing shot and that one goes out of bounds Last touch by Toppen And when you’re attempting to make a comeback it’s so hard to overcome those kind of mistakes Here’s Gilg Alexander Pass to Wiggins for three That one’s good And so Gilis Alexander with the assist Wiggins just got 11 in the second half Pacers trail by 14 Nimhard outside now Hallebertton takes the three The Hallebertton three What a response Well offensively this guy has been cooking They’re definitely not losing because of him Wiggins with a screen on Hallebertton Here’s Gilg Alexander and the shot counts He’s fouled and it’s a chance for a three-point play Hardenstein he’s checked in for Oklahoma City Williams comes in for Wiggins Miles Turner he’s checked in for Indiana Seakum comes in for Tophen We got this We got this miss And the free throw no good What’s been amazing to watch is Shay Gildas Alexander going from good player to now putting his name at the very top of the list in terms of great guards in the league Back to Hallebertton and you can count it He’ll go to the line with a chance at a three-point play Can’t blame the deficit on him He’s been scoring at will this period Here’s Gilis Alexander Oo excellent D there from Turner Pacers trail by 10 Drive by Nimhart Seaka Pass to Hallebertton Outside Maz Back to Hallebertton Down to five on the shot clock Unable to get that one Good work defensively by Gilg Alexander Williams passes to Gilas Alexander Spa takes it himself Yep Count it Gilis Alexander’s got 27 points Well that’s a big time strong take right there by Shay Gildis Alexander on the deck Score it Yes sir Back to Hallebertton to the inside Here’s Turner Oh a dun A foul A powerhouse move He’s got a chance for one more at the line It’s on Isaiah Hardenstein Homegrren he’s checked in for Oklahoma City Nmith he’s checked in for Indiana 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 Back to Williams Oh and a fast break for the Pacers Drops in the layup for two No doubt about it guys We’ve got a ball game here I’m sensing a major momentum swing after the steel and run out With a screen on Hallebertton here’s Gily’s Alexander It’s wide right hits off the rim Pacers trail by seven And he got the whistle on the way up So he’ll be headed to the line for a pair It’s going to go on Chad Homegrren Well this is part of the evolution of Tyrese Hallebertton getting an opportunity at the free throw line Take break First one falls for him They’re finding a rhythm from the line as they try to cut into this deficit 10 Both free throws good for Hallebertton Staring at this deficit They’re trying to be more aggressive and get themselves to the line Gilg Alexander against Hallebertton Hardenstein passes to Homegrren Six on the shot clock Oklahoma City’s got to hurry They got to get up a shot Williams misses I’m sure he’s kicking himself He hates to blow that kind of opportunity Here’s Hallebertton going to take and he was fouled while in the act of shooting So he’ll take two free throws Well the speed on Hallebertton made the difference there The defense’s only option was to foul him Shoot First one falls Yeah they’re playing catch-up at this point but they’ve done a nice job at the free throw line here in the second half And both free throws good for Hallebertton Finally getting himself to the free throw line He was sitting back in the first half with no free throws to show for it Dorne outside back to Gilg Alexander to the paint Hardenstein against Turner It’s stolen by Hallebertton Three on three Poke loose Oh it’s stolen by Gildis Alexander SCA just powering through contact Shay Gildas Alexander has now emerged into a superstar And on nights like this guys he’s Unstoppable outside Hallebertton against Gil Alexander Hallebertton The pass to Turner Now here’s Gil Alexander He’s guarded closely and so he draws the foul headed to the line to shoot a pair And he makes a First one miss Williams drops them both and Hallebertton has got the ball here for the Indiana Pacers They trail by seven Out of bounds of the Oklahoma City’s ball Thunder leading by seven Gilg Alexander passes to Hartinstein Back to Gilgis Alexander Gilas Alexander drills a three Well you love that they’ve been able to rely on him time and time again You love the effort here late And it’s Rick Carile calling timeout here He wants to make sure everyone is aligned given the situation right now Heat up here on defense of Thunder At one point they led by 16 Pass to Seakum over Hulgrren That’s good from Seakum on the assist by Hallebertton Hallebertton’s got five assists tonight Thunder leading by eight Now Homegrren And here’s Dort He’s guarded by Nimhart Back to Homegrren Clock at six Down low And Turner with the block How about Turner’s ability to anticipate when the shooter is going to release Couldn’t be better at timing his rejections Hard the pass to Turner on the wing Nhard short for defending The shot by Nhard No good Oklahoma City has gone two of three from beyond the arc here in the fourth And there’s another one for the Thunder Yeah and certainly room for growth from Pongren in the mid-range But good to see him taking the shot rather than passing on high post Seakum Wurn’s there Hallebertton pass to Nith That’s good And Hallebertton gets the assist Hallebertton’s got six assists in the game Pass to Hardenstein Dort for three The rebound by Turner Turner’s got five rebounds tonight Gilgis Alexander against Hallebertton Now here’s Seakum A minute nine left in the fourth quarter He can’t get it to go Oklahoma City leading by seven Scored outside Here’s Williams The rebound by N Smith Indiana’s gotten three threes to fall out of four attempts here in the fourth Seakum it’s good And he drew contact on the shot So he will go to the line A three-point play opportunity a chance here to possibly put the game away They have to remain focused to get it done And so they choose to intentionally foul 44 seconds left in the fourth quarter here Inside it’s intercepted Well getting in the lane and making your presence known is crucial part of the defense for these guys Here’s Seakkum That shot off Some solid defense from Williams and he commits the intentional foul and he cannot get the first one to drop Tough a miss And he’s able to hit the second one And that puts him up five And we’ll have a timeout here Called by Rick Carlile He’s decided it’s time to clarify the situation Leaving little room for error Heat up here Here’s Nesmith So it’ll be two free throws He was fouled in the act of shooting Lou Dort picks one up So the first one drops and that shrinks the margin to just four and good on the second So he makes them both Yeah just a fruitful trip to the line He’s made this a onep possession game And now they decide to foul intentionally Good on the first and that gives him a four-point cushion Second one is good Getting both at the line and it’s a five-point game He’s able to make it a two-p possession game with some solid work at the line right there Here’s Seakkum Count it What a beautiful shot Brings him within three We call that patience Veteran play That’s a big time delivery by Pascal Seattle Pressure put pressure And a smart choice right there I mean you can’t allow them to just frame the clock He hits the first one and that gives him a four-point mission Penny hits both free throws here and it’s a five-point game Here’s Hallebertton and looking for a quick bucket here You’ve got to run a play that’s a quick strike You’ve got to immediately foul after that He’s done a dynamite job rebounding the basketball and no issues fighting it out against the big guys down low Yeah and there’s no question they have to foul Now I’m sure they would have preferred to avoid it He gets the first and that increases the lead to six And so he drops them both and it’s a seven-point game And so the Thunder take the win And with this win they piled on the pressure They only need one more victory to close the series out This was a All right Ally thank you And that concludes our coverage of game five of the NBA F And the Pacers start off with the ball Let’s check out Indiana’s starting lineup Seiakim is the four and he’ll be next to Turner at the five Allebertton in the back court Nemar to his side and it’s knee Smith in at the three and the shot goes in from Seakkum Well when he finds the shot he wants Seakum is a threat from range Bounce pass from Gilas Alexander Neard with it Dort covering Pass to Seakkum Turner with a screen for Seakkum down low They get a hand on it No altered shots don’t show up on the official stat sheet but as we saw there he does a great job of doing that as well as collecting the rebound The Thunder shooting their first shots of the night from a charity strike The first one falls And the growth that Shay has shown over the years it has come on so fast with how he has improved but he’s adding to his game just Alexander hits them both Well when he gets into a groove at the free throw line it doesn’t just last for tonight This might be two weeks two months something like that To the left side wing Now here’s Nmith He’s guarded by Williams Just five on the clock Hallebertton passes to Turner Misses the baby hook for him It’s harder to miss that shot than it is to make that shot I think he was anticipating a bit of a bump there Williams That’s good Gil just Alexander’s nothing if not a creator to make that pass in sleep Now here’s Nmith He’s guarded by Williams Nid the pass to Hallebertton and Hallebertton slams it in And Hallebertton if he gets that little runway he’ll show you how athletic he can be Pass to Homer Gilis Alexander kicks to Dort Now Williams over Nmith and it’s good off the back rebound in Williams has got his second bucket of the night out Yeah as a shooter Williams is fairly flexible Here’s Hallebertton And that’ll be two free throws coming up Officials on the call with the foul That one on Gilas Alexander He’s getting his first free throw attempt of the night right now That’s good from Hallebertton You know young players who come into the league you want to see if they can bring it every night Hallebertton has certainly fit that bill Hallebertton hits them both So valuable to this team Hallebertton gives them whatever they need when they need it This guy is both patient and prolific And it’s Gilis Alexander missing for Indiana They’ve gone two for four from the field so far to the middle Siakov and the rejection by Hungren Long 71 with that 76 wingspan Home can alter or block just about every shot in his vicinity Oklahoma City moving it around and there is a whistle that goes on Andrew Nehar That’s his first foul Now here’s Williams D right on him Nice contest by Turner One of the top interior defenders in our league As good a shot blocker as anyone Nice back and forth this first half And this could continue to go back and forth the entire way And Rick Carw decides to call timeout He wants to talk to his guys Heat Heat Smith finds Turner Gil Alexander with the steel Here’s Williams and it’s Williams finishing it up Well you got to be careful around SGA He’s got those quick hands and he’s ready to pick pockets And so it’s Hallebertton who brings up the ball for the Indiana Pacers trailing by four Fires for three Thunder with the rebound Just over three and a half minutes gone here in the first Time now to turn to our sideline reporter David Aldridge David Well I talked with head coach Mark Dagnel I asked him about the challenger facing Miles Turner He said “This guy is a problem for our offense Miles is an incredible shot blocker You have to know where he is on the floor at all times.” Now we don’t normally hear a coach talk about somebody’s defense first but Turner is that guy All right David Thanks Here’s Meard after the made shot from Shade Gilis Alexander Pocket six Shot to stop the run Seakum That’s good This is a solid opening quarter right here Very active and creating a lot of good opportunities for himself Pass to Homer Gilg Alexander sets the screen for Homer on the wing Williams uses the glass to finish the lane Williams has got eight points Every time that he gets scored on during this run it’s come from inside the paint Siaka left side Hallebertton with it He’s picked up by Homer Hallebertton That’s good Standing 65 Hallebertton One of those longer lanky guards that can get out there and use his size to disrupt Homegrren The pass to Gilg Alexander from the line And all around the run that time before dropping in Six points for Shay Gilis Alexander Hallebertton passes to Siak It’s rebounded by Hartinstein Hartinstein’s got his fourth rebound with that last one here tonight Williams can’t get it to go Pacers trail by six Turner with a screen on Williams He Smith the pass to Turner and he gets the whistle Two free throws coming up Yeah that was bound to get ugly Turner is so assertive working inside Defense got messy And a closer look here at the scoring breakdown for the Thunder People say the mid paint shot is dying but so far in this one that has not been the case for this team So much good energy and flow tonight and that has really come out a great ball move The guys have been open and as soon as they are they get the ball 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 the total package Both free throws good from Turner The Thunder leading by four Homegrren with a screen on Hallebertton Pass to Homegrren The shots good Fil Alexander making the play and playing up tempo Prolevel ball can be hard for some guys but easily made the transition And Rick Carle decides to call timeout And coach has decided they need a moment to talk things over Heat Heat Kneesmith The pass to Turner Back to Nith Buries it from three-point range Sweet pass from Turner He’s really been working on his ability to pass the ball Gilas Alexander kicks to Homegrren Gilas Alexander against Hallebertton to the paint Turner with the steal And here’s the fast break Zakum leading the way Basket good Shots are just flowing for him right now having a really strong court And he’s got his first chance at the line here Pascalak has really worked on his game over the years Barely scored as a rookie and worked himself into an allNBA selection Now here’s Dors Here’s Hart for three Homer seakum pulls it in Left side turn and trying for the go-ahead basket It doesn’t go in Dort passes to Gilg Alexander Homerren sets the screen for Gilas Alexander And the officials calling for a 3second violation And Oklahoma City making a change here Caruso’s checked in And a change for the Pacers TJ McConnell He’s checked in for Hallebertton The Pacers have gone six and 12 from the field here in the first quarter Pass to Nemhar back to McConnell Indiana moving it around Here’s Siaka It’s rebounded by Oklahoma City Hardinstein’s got his fifth rebound in this one That’s the free fly It’s rebounded by Ni Smith Indiana trailing here Pass to McConnell Now Turner the pass to Siakum Down to five on the shot clock Hands the shot from the wing Seakum’s got 10 Just looks like he’s got more feel tonight Like he’s really got a good grip on that ball as he’s letting it go Back to Williams Here’s Caruso now Here’s Williams He’s got eight to the inside And the dunk by Harden Shine We’ll see if they can finally hold on to a lead It’s been back and forth all night Well you can tell they really want to increase this lead They can’t keep letting them take it from throwing it down on that one Turner really showing off that athleticism Pass to Hartinstein And here is Dort Homerren sets the screen for Dort and foul on the shot So he’ll get a chance at the line Well Dort has that great compact fire hydrant type of build and he’ll take that kind of contact The Thunder have had two chances at the line already making them both that free throw no good One of the things that I think opponents struggle with is Lugan’s Dort and his build You rarely see combination of a guy that might not be that tall but has that kind of width and explosiveness athletically Williams he’s checked in for Oklahoma City Wiggins comes in for Chad Hungren Indiana also making some changes Obie Tins checked in for Turner Benedict Mathering comes in for Aaron Nesmith and Shepard subbed in for Andrew Nema Lugans Door continues to find ways to impress you and expand his offensive game but he knows he’s coming to the league as a defender and he takes a tremendous amount of pride in it Chopping No one around him Offensive rebound Shephard That’s good You don’t want to ever give up points on the boards That’s the lesson for the team there That’s a hustle play to save points Williams passes to Caruso Back to Williams That’s in That’s his fifth field goal He’s shooting a hot 71% 5 for seven inside Taken away by Williams 151 left in the first Outside Dors Williams in the post covered by Seakum That’s good from Williams The assist by Wiggins Well guys this first half has been about as tightly contested as you could hope for There have been a lot of lead changes Now here is Siako 10 points for him Pass to Shepard outside Matanos on Williams Matan for three Dort grabs the miss and so it’s Dort with it He brings it up for Oklahoma City They come into the game following the win on Sunday and it just seemed to me they wanted it more I mean you look at the second chance buckets didn’t play a whole lot of up and back I mean they stayed with each shot grabbing the rebound converting when they could throws it down And Toppin on top of the world there 54 seconds left here in the opening quarter And here is Williams 10 points for him It’s his first trip to the line And that one falls for Williams Just keep seeing more and more evidence about Jaylen Williams being the total package a swingman who scores it rebounds passes and can defend And the Thunder making a switch here Elis Alexander checked in The Phasers also changing it up Bryant comes in for Pascal Siaka Hallebertton subbed in for Shepard and Williams drops them both 44 seconds left to play in the first quarter Hallebertton against Gilis Alexander Brian a screen on Williams and contact on the shot So he’ll be shooting free throws here That run on Williams Yeah that athleticism of Matan is what makes him such a tough one to guard First one falls for him And I like the drive of this kid Matine really a team player Isaiah Joe he’s checked in for the Thunder That one is no good He was able to tie it up He has to be disappointed that he could not give his team the lead And it’s Wiggins with the jam So far both teams scorching hits You got to love it Yeah Made for TV game here Pace is great Scoring is coming in bunches And both of the teams feeling confident right now Now here is Hallebertton covered by Joe Hallebertton outside and the Pacers can’t get it to go And so it’s Jaylen 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’ll take a quick break and then back to the action here And we’re back with you as these two teams do battle in their quest for an NBA championship What stands out to you from Oklahoma City in this one hey why take jump shots when you can get your points at the rim yeah that worked wonders for them in the quarter We’ll see what kind of adjustments get made The Thunder with the lead Alex Caruso out there with Wiggins Then there’s Shay Gildish Alexander Then it’s Williams and it’s Joe in at the two guard That’s the group for Oklahoma City getting going here in the second Now here’s Gilgish Alexander Six to shoot over McConnell Toppen pulls it in And Indiana shooting with confidence 50% from the field so far And the call on the shot It sends in to the line for Indiana They have shot six or seven at the line Take break Take break Two shots That’s good for McConnell and both free throws good for McConnell The Thunder shooting so well 63% the offense working as one cohesive unit There’s a screen by Williams and they call an illegal screen here Beyond the leaning you could see his feet more set on that screen Easy call Got to hold firm or you’re going to get a call Here’s McConnell Pass to screen by Bryant Gilgis Alexander comes with the double team Now McConnell over Joe off to a good start as he hits his first shot attempt If you’re waiting for him to miss when he’s that open you’re going to be in for a long wait Here’s Gilas Alexander He made that one Basket number three for him He’s also missed two They should continue to get the ball inside The defense struggling to contain sets a screen for Hallebertton The three-pointer no good And the Thunder with the possession here outside Gilis Alexander over McConnell and the basket by Gilas Alexander Gilis Alexander’s got 10 points in the game Excellent shot from SGA I like seeing them shake loose in the mid-range Here’s Hallebert Lets it go with a three The basket is good That’s his sixth attempt in his third make It has been nip and tuck through the first half Exactly guys The way it’s seessawed back and forth Unbelievable Now here’s Wiggins Pass to Joe Back to Wiggins Williams has a screen for Wiggins from past the ark Drills it from outside Wiggins has got his second basket of the night Both teams running perimeter oriented plays that are working Well both of them looking towards the three-point line and I like to see that especially when the results are made buckets Now here is Hallebertton He’s got nine That is the perfect technique to rebound I mean he shields his man kept him behind and then he’s off to the races And that one’s good Caruso that’s pretty much not how they would defend the three-point line Somebody’s got a shadow in the mouth And so it’s Rick Carw here calling timeout looking for a breather And maybe just one or two things to talk about Heat Heat Heat Heat Now about 3 minutes gone in this second quarter of basketball Bryant dishes to top it Here’s Matan Misses the lane And they haven’t been able to turn it into a big lead but their rebounding advantage is starting to add up Wiggins can’t hit from in close Pacers trail by five outside Mapperin passes to Hallebertton Screen by Bryant Bounce pass Hallebertton That one good for two Bryant’s got his first two points This is just good point guard fundamentals from Tyrese Hallebertton going to the pick and roll to create a bunch of options Here’s Joe He’s covered by Hallebertton Joe with it Nothing on the board He gets really smooth sometimes Gilgus Alexander has some size and he challenged the defense with it that time This is his second trip to the free throw line and he can’t get the first one in that 2018 draft You think about those names Donic Jiren Jackson Jr and Shay Gil just Alexander Boy that’s a lot to begin with Catching up on the changes for Oklahoma City Hartinstein comes in for Williams And it’s Dort in for Isaiah Joe And he’s good on the second And here’s Albertton He’ll bring it up for the Indiana Pacers Four-point game Pass to Toppin Here’s Nemo Good on the three-point shot Pretty fundamental play there from Obie Topphen getting it to the wide open shooter Oklahoma City has gone four and six from outside the arc tonight Hardenstein with a screen on Hellbert Hardenshine with it Wiggins outside Five to shoot Oklahoma City needs to get off a shot and he gets the bucket Gilg Alexander’s got 13 Pacers trail by three Hard the pass to Han to Nhard Indiana moving the ball Pass to Chopin Now here’s Turner He’s defended by Hortonstein Turner kicks to Topin beyond the arc Caruso grabs the miss And he didn’t punish them for the weak coverage there but they can’t count on him to continue missing And the call will go against Benedict Matan That’ll be his second foul of the game That’s It’s close but you know didn’t get on balance quick enough A different look for Oklahoma City Chad Homegrren He’s checked in for Aaron Wiggins And Jaylen Williams is subbed in for Alex Caruso Indiana also making some changes Seakum is checked in for Cho and it’s kneemith in for Benedict Nathan Seakum with it She’s picked up by Gilg Alexander Siaka passes to Nehar Turner with a screen on George He clings that one off the back iron and down it falls Nearard’s got five points now in the quarter Pass to Homegrren Now Williams And it’s sent back by Turner An elite rim protector and shot blocker Turner excels in rising up and denying those shots He Smith the pass to Nemo Tracks in the tray Neard’s got his third basket of the night It has been nip and tuck through the first half Exactly guys The way it’s seessawed back and forth Unbelievable Fast break Here comes Indiana shooting foul as the whistle blows He’ll shoot two free throws Can’t be overzealous with Hallebertton And when you are he embraces that He got the whistle for Indiana They have shot the ball well from the free throw line Eight of nine That’s good from Hallebert And they have yet to miss a shot from the line here this quarter Callebertton hits them both Thunder trailing by four on the wing Williams knees covering They get it again And that’s good A nice job in the glass as they pick up two on the second effort And Jaylen Williams had a plan there to outwork the defense He knows you got to bring it to the paint Siaks to Hallebertton Back to Seakum Back falls Nice feed that time from Hallebertton Seakum’s got the lead up to five now for the Pacers Gilis Alexander against Hallebertton Homerren sets the screen for Gilg Alexander It’s rebounded by Indiana Here’s Nemhard He’s got eight No good His first miss after three makes Here’s Williams And the rebound goes to the Patience Seakam’s got rebound number five here tonight It’s to Hallebertton Now here’s Nesmith Turner with a screen on Williams Here’s Nith His shot is good making him a perfect two for two from the floor Now how about how he sets his man up there runs him right into the screen and then gets the basket And Mark Dagno calls timeout He wants to check in with his team and regroup Alex Caruso he’s checked in for Gilis Alexander TJ McConnell he’s checked in for the Pacers Here’s Caruso Pass to Homegrren Dort with the ballish down low Turner with the steel in the corner It’s kneemith must be coverage Here’s Neard Three-pointer It’s Chad Homegrren with the rebound Pass to Williams It’s picked off Here’s Nith and N Smith with the slam Agile play to get his hand in there and get the steal Intelligent play to immediately start the break to stop the run Now here’s from the arc It’s rebounded by Ni Smith Pacers leading by nine Here’s defended by Homer And that was almost a block Still did enough to alter the shot Yeah altering the shot Just as long as there’s a miss that kind of energy not wasted Taking it up strong against size He does not lack for confidence Yeah hard to stop it there if you’re the big man That’s just too good a shot and great concentration Here’s Seiakum It’s in and good for his sixth field goal in 10 attempts Well Seakum a guy you do not want to get hot And Caruso’s got the ball here for the Oklahoma City Thunder Martin Shine finds Dort and a miss there on the triple And offensively they’ve gotten stuck on the perimeter Falling in love with the jumper Pass to McConnell Back to N Smith Here’s the three Hits it from three-point range And it’s a 12-point Indiana lead They’ve been outstanding from beyond the arc this quarter Their percentage has been climbing steadily On the Wayne Williams Knee Smith covering The shot by Williams No good And this quarter he has clearly been off the mark Meard the pass to McConnell Now here is Seiakum Turner with a screen for Seakum Shot clock at six Out of bounds Oklahoma City takes possession Benedict Nathan He’s checked in for the bases We’ve got 123 left in the first half Pass to Caruso Over in the corner Dort And here is Homegrren Hands it from downtown Homegrren’s got his second basket of the night And with that threat of the outside jumper a home run generates space for this offense Outside Turner it’s stolen by Harton Shine to the paint Here’s Homer Good The nice assist for Williams Homegr’s got eight points And great job from Homer I like when he shows confidence attacking inside Knocked loose on the wing Matherine a three-pointer off the mark Rare you’ll see him miss such an open look No good on the triple Acers leading by seven Pass to Seakum It’s Nehard on the wing Here’s Nmith Seiakum outside Shot clock at five Drives to the hoop and block That one goes Karin off the glass Here’s Williams Well timed pass and he goes straight to the bucket for the layup And now it’s only a fivepoint pacer lead And a close game so far through the first two quarters as we reach halftime It’s the Pacers They’re up by five And for 2K Sports we’ll be back here at Paycom Center right after this They’ve been getting to the line a lot I mean fearless at the offensive end You like guys who are willing to throw their bodies around and make things happen Shaq not just willing they like that style of play Looking at this series for the Indiana Pacers still alive but facing some long odds How do they keep hope alive well I think those tough moments are what reveal a lot of character Ernie I mean and that’s all for us Now it’s time to send it back to Kevin Haron for the beginning of the third quarter So glad to have you with us here as we bring you more action from courtside at game five One of the stories here Jaylen Williams getting it done today Yeah and through the first two quarters he has been the offense for this team Yeah he’s he’s shouldering the load right now and looking really comfortable while he’s doing it And here now the Thunder on the court right now for the Pacers the forward spots with N Smith and Seakum Allebertton in the back court Nemar to his side and it’s Turner in at the five down low Now here’s Nith after the miss from Jedgrim And obviously his momentum from the last game has carried over here tonight Yeah and the coach pretty smart for zoning in on him and giving him opportunities to stay with that confident play Now here’s Holmes Williams inside Knee Smith covering Hartinstein passes to Williams Good work defensively by Turner Well a lot of players in the league are going to make that shot and for him it’s pretty much automatic It’s a good defensive effort to prevent the layup Here’s Hallebertton Turner with a screen for Hallebertton Launches it kicks it out to Seakkum That balls Nice feed that time from Turner And now it’s a 10-point pacer lead Gild Alexander passes to Dort Williams with the ball Knee Smith covering and Williams Here we go Turner with the steel Kneesmith with the ball Dort covering throughout his career Seakum gets himself to the foul line a lot Adept at using that length and he’ll earn some free throws here Pasers have shot 10 of 11 at the line Nice work so far for them That free throw missing and the second free throw Good And we’re just about a minute and a half into the third quarter of basketball Gilas Alexander against Hallebertton And a lot of contact on that one So he’ll shoot two here Gilas Alexander does a good job of just staying aggressive And that just forces the defense to do something This is his third trip to the free throw line in the game Take a break Take a break Two shots First free throw is good Just Alexander hits them both Indiana leading by nine Hallebertton feeling it out a bit Pass to Seakkum Turner with a screen on Homegrren Here’s Seakum Two free throws coming up and they call the shooting foul You know Seakum is going to bring some intensity inside He’s embracing the chance to be fouled He’s shooting free throws Number four and five here And the first one drops Seakum hits them both And now around two minutes gone by in this half Outside Dort Seakum against Homegrren Here’s Williams It’s rebounded by Nesmith Nmith has got rebound number five here tonight Crosses over Siaka kicks to Turner Pass to Nemo Stolen by Dort Throws down the breakaway jam And Dort there on full display both ends Once he swipes it away the offense comes easily Hallebertton against Alexander Hallebertton Knees with the ball Now here is Hallebertton He’s got 11 Four on the clock There’s the triple That’s rebounded by Oklahoma City If you told me this was the kind of game he was going to have I would not have expected them to be in front right now On the wing Gilis Alexander He’s covered by Hallebertton And it’ll be his fourth time going to the free throw line in the game shooting two That’s good from Gilas Alexander That’s also good So he hits both free throws And so it’s Hallebertton who brings up the ball for Indiana Their defense has only allowed six points in the second half Now here is Hallebertton Smith finds Hallebertton and foul on the shot He’ll shoot two at the free throw line Got one on Homerren and he’s got his first free throw of the game And the first one at the line is good And no matter what one of the big positives they can take away from this game is how well they’ve performed at the line And Son Smith nails both of them We’ve gone about three and a half minutes into the third now Gildas Alexander passes to Dorren the screen to the inside and stolen by Siakum Hallebertton passes to Turner and it’s Turner finishing it off Nice find by Hallebertton Just a great feel for the game And so it’s Oklahoma City with it They trail by 11 Williams a screen on Hallebertton Gilgis Alexander That’s a two-pointer That’s the six make from the field He’s taken nine shots and missed but three You can’t just stop when there’s a big set up Got to fight over it as a defender That’s one that the coaches will watch tomorrow with that player You hate to see him give up in that situation Hallebertton against Gilas Alexander And there’s another one for the Thunder This is what Gilas Alexander does He attacks you relentlessly Outside turner kicks to Hallebertton And there’s the try and the rejection by Hren Shots good by Turner Thunder trailing by 11 Gildas Alexander passes to Hart and Shine Now here’s Dor Stolen now Neard Eight points for him down low Seakum deciding where to go with it shoots over Homegrren and Homegrren pulls it down Homegrren’s got six rebounds now in the game Gilis Alexander against Hallebertton Now here’s Gilis Alexander He’s covered closely Off the mark for the fourth time this game He is seven for 11 now Seiakum outside Let’s go He’s off on that one for Oklahoma City They’ve gone three of seven on field goal attempts here in the second half Homegrren kicks to Gilg Alexander Picked by Williams from the arc That’s in and the Pacer lead is cut down to eight And the bucket from Gildish Alexander This is not a player who likes to be trailing in any game That lights a fire up It’s Neard on the wing and right away they match it with a three-pointer of their own Neard’s got 11 points Oklahoma City’s gone six of 11 when they’ve taken the three-point shot tonight Very respectable Hartinstein with the screen for Gilg Alexander And there it is for him Gilg Alexander’s got 13 points here in the second half alone This is a one-man show right now He’s on a mission to get him out of this hole Again Siak Smith the pass to Siak to the paint Here’s Hallebertton And Hallebertton slams it in And that kind of sums up how this game is going Uh-huh Attack minded all the way Yeah Great read Calls his own number and then sends it home Now here’s Dort He’s got five Pass to Williams Six on the shot clock Back to Hardenstein Homerren The pass to Dort There’s Williams with the three They get the rebound And here is Homegrren Get it Here’s Gilis Alexander He can’t get that one to fall Excellent defense there from Hallebertton Go Yep that one goes in there Hallebertton’s got the lead Up to 13 now for Indiana Defense doing their best to put Hallebertton off balance but he stays flexible Kind of warps around the defense and adjusts to the contact Here’s Gilgis Alexander and it’s sent back by Turner Now the Pasers moving it up Seakum for three It’s rebounded by Oklahoma City Williams has got his fourth rebound in this one to the middle Here’s Gilis Alexander Now here’s from the arc Pacers leading by 13 Go look go right here Seakum left side pass to Turner Jacks up a three It’s rebounded by Oklahoma City Homerren’s got his seventh rebound here tonight Here’s Gilgis Alexander Back to Homegrren Hardenstein in the high post Here’s Williams The 15-footer Good Williams has got 20 Again it’s Jaylen Williams He is in a groove playing with confidence Just keep finding out And so it’s Rick Carw here calling timeout He’s ready to talk things through with the team And a new group in here for the Thunder Williams he’s checked in for Hartinstein Wiggins comes in for Jet Homegrren Isaiah Joe he’s checked in for Dort And it’s Alex Caruso in for Gilis Alexander Williams with the steel It’s Joe on the wing He’s covered by McConnell Joe passes to Williams He gets it to fall That makes it just a single digit lead 22 points for Williams Yeah that’s one way to get back into this game Keep getting him the ball and let him make the shot McConnell against a screen for Williams and once again off the mark by Indiana He’s getting good looks on the floor but he simply cannot bury anything right now He’s got to stay confident though because everyone knows he can hit those shots Williams finds Williams Doesn’t go for it Pacers leading by nine 146 left in the third Pass to Matherine Siaken inside He’s against Wiggins He just doesn’t look like himself this quarter Something’s missing Well he’s missing and it’s starting to affect a little bit in his body language and you just don’t want to see that Here’s Siaka That’s good And it’s McConnell with the assist McConnell’s got his third assist on the night And a breakdown here guys The hustle stats for the Pacers They have been a wrecking ball defensively coming up with steals being active with their hands and just doing a terrific job of disrupting the rhythm Man scoring off of turnovers is so helpful I mean you get easy opportunities at the rim It devastates the opponent They’ve done a great job tonight of converting on those chances Joe passes to Williams Williams kicks to Caruso Pass to Wiggins Williams a screen on Seyakum Just five to shoot and that one’s good Wiggins Well that play never gets old The pick and roll will still be an offensive staple 100 years from now Trust me Now 8 seconds separate the two clocks Williams against Yako Here’s Toppin Sinks the three-pointer Toppins got five And the coaching staff loving this confidence in Obie Toppins catch and shoot game And the foul on Obie Toppin That’s his first foul Mattherin against Williams puts up a deep three and no good on the last second attempt this time And here at the end of the third quarter it’s a double- digit ball game Pacers lead by 12 And for 2K Sports we’ll be back here at Paycom Center right after this And let’s go back to a terrific pass that we’re calling tonight our State Farm assist of the game Yeah and I I like the fact we get to see this pass one more time A magnificent feed and you love to see your offg guard taking over the playmaking duties with this much skill Sometimes that’s what can separate some of the best players Not just creating for yourself but creating for others as well 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 Shay Gilis Alexander Williams is out there with Aaron Wiggins and it’s Alex Caruso and it’s Joe in a shooting guard It’s the lineup in the game for Oklahoma City Well there’s more he could have done in this game for sure but it hasn’t kept them from pulling ahead Screen by Riggins Here’s Gilg Alexander Toppen pulls it in Toppins got his fifth rebound right now in the game And here’s McConnell Pass to Chopin McConnell scanning the floor Four on the shot clock Indiana needs to get a shot off and it’s Bryant And they’re trailing by 12 on the wing Gilas Alexander and oh boy a lot of contact there but he gets the call and will shoot two It’s going to be on Obie Toppen And I like the fact that the defense is looking to protect the rim at all costs Take a break Take a break Two shots The miss The first free throw is good Wow They’ve made every free throw here in the second half on the miss Gilg Alexander hits them both Fourth quarter Still young just over a minute playing to Hallebert Some nice passing here by Indiana Back to Bryant Launches a three That’s good And it’s Hallebertton with the assist Hallebertton’s got his fourth assist in this one On the wing Gilgus Alexander He’s covered by McConnell Gilgis Alexander against McConnell Now here’s Gilis Alexander He’s guarded closer and Matherine has got the ball here for the Indiana Pacers This is the most they’ve led by 13 points Hallebertton with it and he gets the whistle for the 3second call and Oklahoma City making a change here Dorsch checked in and a change for the Pacers Neards checked in Oklahoma City’s gone six of 14 with the three ball tonight Just a little over 40% And the officials have called the illegal screen right there That’s going to draw a whistle every time down the floor Not even close to being a legal screen Yeah everybody saw that one That was pretty blatant there Oh yeah Indiana leading by 13 Pass to Toppin Hallebertton on the wing Here’s Neard Now Chompin covered by Wiggins Toppen Good Top and not letting the defense hold him back For those just joining us fourth quarter here We’re just over 2 and 1/2 minutes into it Hallebertton against Gilas Alexander And that’s a foul called on Shane Gilas Alexander That’s his third foul of the game Indiana’s gone one and two from three-point range here in the fourth Hallebertton on the wing just Alex undercover trailing by 15 right wing Here’s Caruso at balls Nice feed that time from Wiggins Wiggins has got three assists now in this one for Indiana They’ve gone two for five on field goal attempts in the fourth quarter Pass to Hallebertton It’s stolen by Gil Alexander Dort with the ball Hallebertton picks him up Now Gilgus Alexander Five on the clock Goes up the baseline That’s short off the rim And the stroke definitely lacking confidence this quarter Nothing on target Nimhard The pass to Hallebert made that one It’s his seventh of the contest Seven for 15 from the floor Well we’ve seen that movie a few times haven’t we an easy bucket in the paint And Mark Dagno calls timeout It’s a chance for them to regroup and refocus Heat Heat Heat Heat Heat Heat It’s time now to hear from our Hall of Fame reporter David Aldridge What’s the latest David thanks guys I was able to hear Mark Dagno talking to his team during the break Now coach challenged him He said “This goes beyond this game Show me how much heart you have for the season Fight until the final buzzer guys Back to you Thank you David And it’s out of bounds to the Thunder as Oklahoma City retains possession A split second late but almost came up with a steal there Real close And I’m sure next time you might time that a little bit better and get a hand on it Here’s Wiggins outside Gilis Alexander Wiggins A screen on Hallebertton Back to Wiggins from deep and a great assist by Gilg Alexander as that one goes in Such an improved part of SGA’s game Love his passing skills inside And this is one of the things that makes Matan so exciting to watch that ability to finish on Alioops Gil Alexander against Hallebertton to the paint and the basket is good and he’s got a chance here for one more at the line and he’s really shot the ball well but but it hasn’t been contagious Throw good Wiggins Here’s Hallebertton Tapping a screen on Gilas Alexander Hallebertton Matan against Corso And they recover Toppen finds Nemhard There’s a screen by Tophen Tries again Score the bucket He’s made five so far Shooting a very clean five of seven Yeah that’s the third bucket in a row from the paint This defense needs to clog those lanes in the middle Gilas Alexander and he makes good on the layup Gilas Alexander’s got four this quarter Gilas Alexander is such a tough cover especially his size Hallebertton outside Brian sets the screen for Hallebertton He’s looking for Bryant and finds him Not the kind of aggressive defense they need to cut into the lead Yeah you have to protect the rim Greg a little better Good job to recognize the opportunity That’s just very solid offense Gil Alexander and he uses the glass on the layup Gil Alexander’s got 32 points Well the rest of the team has looked pretty bad tonight but he’s done a fantastic job of scoring the ball and carrying the load on offense Here’s Hallebertton And that one is off Nice defense from George Outside Gilgis Alexander Caruso a screen on Hallebertton and the basket by Gilis Alexander Gilg Alexander has blossomed into this forceful guard Just look at this performance Hallebertton against Gilis Alexander screen on George Pocket four Puts up a deep three Rebound by Williams And they’re trailing by eight Now here’s Gish Alexander Pass to Dor Oh wow And that one is hammered home How’s that for a show dort looking like he wants to be in the dunk contest with slams like that And that’s life above the rim courtesy of our AT&T 5G slam cam for Indiana They’ve gone six or 12 from the field here in the fourth and even 50% Capital screen on Gilgus Alexander Here’s Hallebertton Good D by Gilgus Alexander And Gilis Alexander’s got the ball here for the Oklahoma City Thunder Caruso sets the screen for Gilg Alexander Outside Dorch and a great assist by Gilg Alexander as that one goes in Gilis Alexander’s got assist number eight now on the night Pacers leading by three Now Nemo outside down low and Bryant kicks to Topin pass to Nemo Shot clock at six over Alexander and once again off the mark by Indiana Oklahoma City’s gotten off to a great start from three-point range in the final quarter under a perfect three A three The rebound by Hallebertton Hallebertton’s got four rebounds in this game They could use a bucket And that’s two points on the layup Hallebertton’s got 10 points in just the second half And Hallebertton looks absolutely unfased by the moment Dort passes to Gilg Alexander It’s rebounded by Indiana Hallebertton with it He’s picked up by Dillis Alexander A nice shot by Hallebertton Trying more and more to utilize the three-pointer It’s a good idea That’s his second three of the game One in each half And Mark Dagnel calls timeout And clearly an important juncture He’s going to have some choice words with his team Heat up here Heat Heat for the Thunder Hartinstein He’s checked in for Williams Chad Hungren comes in for Wiggins And it’s Williams in for Alex Caruso The pacers also changing it up Turner’s checked in for Bryant Pascal Seakum comes in for Topin and it’s kneemith in for Benedict Nathan A floater Basket is good He’ll get a chance for one more at the line This is a oneman show right now He’s on a mission to get him out of this hole Find the lane Find the lane Go side And here are the Pacers now The biggest lead of the game 15 points to the middle Here’s Nman as for the first time this game He’s five for six Thunder trailing by five Homer finds Gildas Alexander Tries it from nine And that one drops for him Gil Alexander’s got 13 points in just this quarter And SGA is used to burying these kind of big time shots just an outstanding leader for this team He Smith the pass to Hbert just fine on the clock and it’s blocked by Gil Alexander Love to see that kind of effort from Gildas Alexander on the defense You can get in your head at times floats one blanketed by the D who fights to the rim for the lane and now just a one-point pacer lead Indiana’s gotten off four three-pointers in the final quarter and two of them have fallen Hallebertton against Gilgal the pass to Hallebertton counting Hallebertton’s got 15 points in just the second half Tyrese feels like kind of an old school player He’s got some flavor to his game and love the mid-range that time Gil just Alexander can’t get it to go Pacers leading by three The pass to Hbert and Play stops whistling what looks to be an illegal screen That’s going to draw a whistle every time down the floor Not even close to being a legal screen Yeah everybody saw that one That was pretty blatant there And that replay showed just how forceful that block was And this is postseason play at its finest Refusing to give up shots here in the playoffs Oklahoma City’s gotten off to a great start from three-point range in the final quarter They’re a perfect three of three And it’s Gilg Alexander missing And taking care of the ball has been a problem for them That’s something they got to fix While the defense have been good a lot of these turnovers have been over here And this is an advantage of having size in the back court However using that link to cause trouble he cannot get the First one to drop Tough one to miss That’s off his limb So he misses both And so here is Oklahoma City It’s a three-point game Dort passes to Homer Gilges Alexander against Hallebertton for a three Homering The rebound by Hallebertton And so they foul intentionally It’s the first that gives them a four-point cushion And so both free throws are good And it’s a five-point game And just like that this game is a two-possession affair Time called here The Thunder decide to talk it over They trail by five What do you think coach’s focus is going to be here they’re trying to get back in this thing They need a score It’s funny at this point in the game the coach is asking the team to be perfect They haven’t been to this point Heat Heat Heat Heat Heat Heat Heat Heat Homegrren finds Williams Jordan wide open in front and he has brought them to within two points Man I’ll tell you what the pressure is cranked up Who better to call than this guy you have to foul but I’m sure they would have liked to foul someone different Right on the first and that makes it a three-point lead So against them both it’s a four-point ball game And Gilgis Alexander’s got the ball here for the Thunder Pass to Homegrren Latrey gets rebounded by Indiana And now they foul and stop the clock Had to foul and on that occasion to stop the clock That’s the enemy in this situation And that hurts as he doesn’t get the first one to fall trying to focus now on the second and he does get the second one and that puts them up by five 8 seconds left in the fourth Now here’s from the arc They grab their own miss So it’s Indiana picking up the win People were writing their obituary before this game but this win cast the series in a whole new light now And listen they still got to win two more but after seeing how they perform tonight is there any doubt Kevin they’re capable of it i mean we could be in the midst of a major comeback No doubt at all You’re right And that concludes our coverage of game five of the NBA Finals For Brent Barry Greg Anthony and David Aldridge this is Kevin Harland along with our 2K Sports crew thanking you for tuning in But first let’s reveal our player of the game Tyrese Hallebertton
