[Music] hey hey hey and it’s Turner in at the pivot spot manning the middle for the Thunder the four and the five the lengthy pair of Homegrren and Hartenstein gilis Alexander runs things with Gord to his side and it’s Williams at the small forward position and a wideopen look for Joish Alexander and it’s good assisting in the play was Williams sgaa from way out there knocking down the [Applause] three [Music] [Applause] shot back to Hbert shoots over Gilus hit some rim on the way in and the bucket’s good and he’s not going to miss many of those especially that wide open no he’s automatic from the mid-range and the defense knows that it’s a mistake to give up a shot like that goes up at the stripe it’s rebounded by N Smith pass to [Applause] Nemo and the call on the shot sends him to the line and really the defense found him there to prevent the layup but that’s exactly what you need to do the Bers free throws of the game [Applause] [Applause] and the first one drops [Applause] [Applause] and both free throws good for Nehar and Gilis Alexander’s got the ball here for Oklahoma City to bounce back from Wednesday’s loss yeah you can see they were pressing in that one and the shooting percentages dipped because of it pal said “Anytime you’re having trouble getting over that 40% field goal mark it’s probably not going to be your night.” Or the three sinks the triple gil Alexander’s got a pair of threes now in the first quarter for Oklahoma City and here are the bases Albert and [Applause] Patrick and in the first a little over a minute and a half in hires the three gets rebounded by Oklahoma City and here is Dort pass to Gilis Alexander goes to the reverse layup and taps it in gilg Alexander’s got eight points about the agility of Shay Gilis Alexander able to get around that inside contact [Applause] hallebertton feeling it out a bit that’s his second shot and his second basket he’s two for two and giving up some inches inside but makes up for it with an aggressive style yeah the big man not going to slow him down from getting that deuce hartinstein against Turner williams outside that one doesn’t drop and so it’s Turner with it he brings it up for the Pacers trailing by two allebertton passes to Turner noward as Denise Smith six to [Applause] shoot over again and he’s good on the three ball seakum that’s a developing area so don’t give him a reason to shoot another outside Williams and oh boy a lot of contact there but he gets the call and will shoot two i tell you what he earned his money on that foul the Thunder shooting their first foul shots of the night here william taking two shots 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 he hits both from the strike here’s Hallebertton outside turner pass to [Applause] Nemo gilg Alexander again hallebertton the shot by Turner no good oklahoma City has gone two or four from beyond the arc to start the game homegrren the pass to Harden back to Homegr oh good on the triple and on an open look like that he’s very gifted at making those deep coverage nothing that time he’s 0 for two the Thunder with the lead a drop by Homegr bank in off the glass oh the long strides of Homer on display this is why you can’t give him the lane and Rick Carwle decides to call timeout but he’s made the decision he wants to huddle up with this guy and on the screen now is the 2K leaderboard with a rundown of this postseason’s assistance tyrese Hallebertton on top and of course Shay Gilas Alexander i think these two guys are having a little personal competition here in the playoffs to see who will finish with the most [Applause] assists and so here is Indiana it’s a three-point game hallebertton outside a three-pointer is right on target hallebertton’s got seven points boy Hallebertton consistent with that shot for Oklahoma City they’ve gone 50% from the field to this point four of eight hartinstein passes to Dort and they wasted no time getting those three points down nice answer back there love to see the competitor both teams finding ways to the three-point line and trying to take advantage from distance it’s deflected it’s stolen by Gil Shaander over in the corner [Applause] dort on the left block neard grabs the board you know they don’t score on that shot but they’re going to be happy with those kinds of possessions [Applause] turner finds Seakkum green by Seakum no problems knocking that one down he has five well Seakum playing unselfish and a better option just to drop that one off oklahoma City’s gone 306 50% from deep so far tonight here’s Gilas Alexander and a lot of contact on that one so he’ll shoot two here it’s going to be on Siaka for Oklahoma City then on two for two in the game at the line shane Gilg taking two shots [Applause] first one falls for and money from the stripe sga could close his eyes and knock that down gil 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 siakum passes to Hallebertton turner with a screen on Gilis Alexander hallebertton no good his touch from mid-range that’s almost always good that won’t shake his confidence pass to Williams shoots over Nemar and a great move by Williams yeah as a shooter Williams is fairly flexible pacers trail by four [Music] outside here’s Helbert it’s rebounded by Oklahoma City and I was sure that was money on that one but everyone is afforded an easy miss or two yeah that happens important thing is for players just don’t beat yourself up and make a miss like that cost you another play for Indiana they’ve gotten five of 10 shots to drop in this game so far tight at the 50% mark hard finds [Applause] Hallebertton count it from 12 hallebertton’s got nine points and he is really in a zone right now playing and scoring with confidence pass to Hartinstein back to Gildas Alexander played in with a nice touch off the glass 12 points for him flat out taking the game over and there’s no way he’s going to give it up outside turner [Applause] here’s Misman he claims that one off the back iron and down it falls sweet pass from Turner he’s really been working on his ability to pass the ball kilus Alexander looking around that one good for two and the Thunder lead by four and boy he’s really in a groove dominant performance last game same thing this time out seems to be nobody standing in his way no roadblocks for him to get to his spot capitalize continue to be aggressive against George here’s a three off the mark the Thunder lead by four dort kicks to Gilis [Applause] Alexander driving to the basket it falls for the sixth time in seven tries this contest that’s 86% this is what Gilas Alexander does he attacks you relentlessly here’s Nemard five points in the game and it’s Hellbertton missing and they have a narrow edge here in rebounding early on and you wonder what kind of a role that’s going to play moving forward the shots good from Gildas Alexander only one miss in his first eight attempts coming out of the gate strong and Rick Carile decides to call timeout he’s ready to talk things through with the [Applause] team for your Thunder for the Thunder williams has checked in for Harden aaron Wiggins comes in for Jed Homegrren and it’s Alex Caruso in for Dor so an entirely new group in now for Indiana obie Toppins checked in for Turner benedict Mathering comes

of guys that time a good decision and Gilis Alexander’s got the ball here for the Thunder the 11footer and it goes out of bounds last touch by Tin and Oklahoma City making a change here joe’s checked in the Pacers making a change [Applause] here and here now the Thunder six-point lead left side williams five to shoot good and the story here Kevin early on is how well they shot the basketball razers have gone eight of 15 from the field shooting above 50% here tonight pass to Siak Wiggins with the rebound they’ve been beating them to a lot of those loose balls and rebounds here to start a chance to extend the lead to double digits but it’s no [Applause] good caruso against Reon Williams here’s McConnell and off the front iron and in it goes punch counter punch impressive offensive production early on who’s going to miss first every time one team scores the other team right back at you here’s Williams 11 ft out and he hits it williams has got six points you can’t just stop when there’s a pick 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 here’s Siako takes the 12-footer and hits he has five creating some space in the twoman game seakum read that one right outside Williams and the rebound goes to the Pacers teammates right now covering up for the type of off performance he’s having in terms of scoring this has not been his best night here’s Siaka and contact on the shot so he’ll be shooting free throws here most of the is going to bring some intensity inside he’s embracing the chance to be foul now let’s take a moment to get your guys take on the scoring for the Thunder and guys I love the movement doing a great job of just getting the ball on a string creating some opportunities well a lot of the players are doing a good job as well of scanning the interior part of the paint all those inside looks those are paying off shay Gildish Alexander checked in for Williams hallebertton’s checked in for the Pacers and he can’t hit the second and Pascal Seakum has really worked on his game over the years barely scored as a rookie and worked himself into an allNBA selection 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 it’s just very solid offense and a wide open look for Hallebertton drills the three-pointer hallebertton’s got 12 this is not a player who likes to be trailing in any game that lights a fire williams a screen on McConnell it’s stolen by Mattherin three seconds separate the shot clock and game clock down low here’s Hallebertton and he gets the whistle two free throws coming up can’t be overzealous with Hallebert and when you are he embraces that you got the whistle he’s getting his first free throw attempt of the night right now [Applause] that’s good from Hallebertton and Hallebertton a guy you just continue to see grow game by game an exceptional talent and a great mind and Indiana making a change here lions checked in he hits one and misses one each at the line so valuable to this team hallebert gives them whatever they need when they need it this guy is both patient and prolific gil Alexander with it williams a screen on McConnell and here’s Gilis Alexander outside jesus Alexander guys has been on display for the Oklahoma City Thunder going on an absolute rampage and it’s time for more of the NBA finals on 2K Sports what a time of year and for the Thunder guys what stands out to you so far well the coaches preach ball movement and we saw exactly why in that first quarter everybody just feeling the energy of the basketball as they moved it around and lots of hands were touching it here’s McConnell on the court for Indiana he’ll be topping out there with Thomas Bryant then there’s Benedict Matan then it’s Hallebert and it’s McConnell in at the wide now here is Hallebertton covered by Joe it’s good and the Thunder lead is cut down to just one on the basket from Hallebertton defense doing their best to put Hallebertton off balance but he stays flexible kind of warps around the defense and adjust to the contact gil Alexander against McConnell and Gil just Alexander the bucket on the assist by Williams and they keep hammering away at him inside forcing the ball into the paint allebertton pitch to Thompson over in the corner allebertton outside pocket six and another one in the scoring column for him he’s seven of 10 from the field hallebertton piling up points he can thank his impressive work ethic for that up top Gilas Alexander he’s covered by McConnell and yes it’s good d has been just completely helpless and turned around he’s so dangerous when he’s in this kind of rhythm allebertton for three misses fourth time against seven makes in this game well after getting off to a great start hitting those first two shots he’s definitely regressed a little bit in this quarter pacers trail by three here’s Matan good and McConnell gets the assist matan’s got his first basket of the night and using that body to his advantage Matan will learn to control his strength as he grows in the league the shots good from Gildasine [Applause] indiana’s gotten fewer than half of their three-pointers to go down tonight they are four for nine pass to Hallebertton bryant outside hallebertton kicks to Bryant the shot goes down and gets this game back to even bryant’s got himself going with the triple his first basket of the game here’s Gilgis Alexander and Gilg Alexander throws it down giljis Alexander has blossomed into this forceful guard just look at this performance [Applause] and for those of you just joining us in the second quarter with about 3 minutes gone by Hallebertton and the Pacers tag on two more there’s so much about Hallebertton that shows that he plays well beyond his years just Alexander and he’s open it’s rebounded by Bryant the defense better tighten up on the mid-range they’re much much tighter you expect him to make every single one of those oklahoma City has gone three of seven tonight from three-point territory basket is good he’ll get a chance for one more at the line they are attacking the rim and getting great results and he’s got his first chance at the line here hartinstein’s checked in for the Thunder dort comes in for Isaiah Joe indiana also making some changes miles Turner he’s checked in for Thomas Bryant and Andrew Nehard’s subbed in for TJ McConnell [Music] the free throw drops for Caruso closing in on four minutes played here in the second quarter pass to [Applause] top now here’s Turner to the middle and stolen by Caruso and now a fast break for the Thunder and the dunk by Hardenstein that’s a stomach punch guys turn it over and give him a free run to the B oh you’re so right no question who has the momentum now execution with pace that’s a bad turnover that simply was telegraphed and this is an advantage of having size in the back court caliber using that length to cause trouble two shots take a break take a break [Applause] shot and he knocks down the first one [Applause] calibbertton hits them both the Thunder leading by three now gilis Alexander he’s got 26 wiggins a screen on Hallebertton it’s tipped toppin with the steel and here we go hallebertton

dorch got it all tied up now for the Thunder you size up to D sometimes you take a little bit of an extra count and D did it that time remard finds Hallebertton trying to come right back with a three of his own it’s no good now here’s Gilas Alexander 26 points for him solid shot from the distance of the 14 ft gilas Alexander’s got 28 boy has he put his foot on the pedal here this quarter he’s doing a terrific job in terms of leading their offense turner with the screen on Gilis Alexander hallebertton for three cans it from downtown 28 points for him it’s first triple of the second quarter

quarter so far caruso kicks to Dort three-pointer the rebound by Turner turner’s got his fifth rebound right now in the game here’s Nehard five points in the game seakum outside pass to Hallebertton over hallebertton no good oklahoma City trailing hartenstein passes to Caruso here’s Homegr fires from deep dort misses and close to making the defense pay for the lack coverage that time here’s Siaka and they call the foul so a chance at the line for one more coming up and one area where they’ve improved here in the second quarter is getting the ball in the paint that inside scoring has gotten much stronger tj McConnell he’s checked in for Indiana [Applause] and that one misses trailing by three williams inside he’s covered by McConnell and he drops in the layup off the glass williams has got eight points just takes advantage of the deep in a way that very few players playing today can do ziakum deciding where to go with it turner with a screen for Saka knocked away williams with the steal here’s Homegrown down in the low post it goes co’s got his second bucket of the game to go and looking to get stronger homer fights through the bump tons of time for him to grow into that round got a piece of it here’s Siaka indiana again turning it over these players can flat out shoot the rock the 2K leaderboard shows us the top three-point shooters in the playoffs well you look at Nesmith second in the league extremely accurate from beyond the arc he is having so much success from beyond the three-point line some guys just thrive on this kind of pressure the Thunder with the lead and here is Williams he’s got eight pass to Homegrren outside Williams this one for three nehard grabs the board indiana’s gone past the three-point line for 13 of their shots six of 13 oklahoma City’s gotten into trouble with the three ball in the second quarter only hitting one of five attempts dort kicks to Caruso hardenstein with a screen on McConnell and that one’s good caruso and I like the fact that he really was unfaced by that scoreless first quarter and now you can see him getting into a rip and Denise Smith to the inside here’s Nemo the dunk and the foul a powerhouse move and he’s got a chance for one more at the line that one on Williams this will be his third free throw shot of the game isaiah Joe he’s judging for the Thunder what’s [Applause] [Applause] up and so it’s Williams who brings it up for the Thunder pass to Homer joe in the corner outside Dort and again Oklahoma City with the triple and that’s his second in this quarter guys he’s made three so far this game and is showing no signs of slowing down [Applause] kneesmith with the ball williams picks it up and the rejection by Hren shots good by Turner you know he’s had better starts obviously but he’s shaking it off here in the second pass to Hartinstein outside Dortenstein with the screen for Dort and the Thunder another three bottom line you need shooters on your team who can space the floor well there’s no doubt he’s a legitimate threat from downtown and he’s demonstrating that in this game red finds McConnell turner with the screen just fine on the clock that’s good and it’s McConnell with the assist mcconnell’s got three assists tonight well we’ve seen that movie a few times haven’t we an easy bucket in the paint outside Dort there’s 42 seconds left in the second quart [Applause] hardenstein passes to Homer over Seakum homerren can’t hit pacers trail by three pass Denise Smith indiana moving it [Applause] around it’s Neard on the wing defended by Dors he gets it in there neard’s got five points now in the quarter joe with it still without a basket holren can’t [Applause] hit shave Gilgus Alexander guys has been on display for the Oklahoma City Thunder he got into double digits for the quarter with 10 points total and we’ll be right back after this they’re not showing enough fight defensively take some pride in getting some stops this is when your leader has to step in and say something yeah tough to beat a team that’s shooting double nickels from the field [Applause] and glad to have you with us as we get going here in game two you know Shane Gilas Alexander has been exceptional here tonight guys well we’ll find out if they were able to find an answer for him over the break he was scoring with ease in that first half yeah just way too easy out there and I’m sure coach is going to make that a priority at halftime [Applause] indiana trailing here the four and the five the lengthy pair of Homegrren and Hartenshot gilis Alexander runs things with Dort to his side and it’s Williams at the three the small four that’s the lineup out there for the Thunder for the lead pass to Nemo that falls nice feed that time from Hallebertton nearard’s got 13 nice find by Hallebertton just a great feel for the game hardenshine with it here’s Dors and right away they match it with a three-pointer of their own and the Thunder lead by one now him inside

williams working [Applause] around buries it down low he’s got 10 third quarter of basketball we’re about a minute and a half in here’s Nehard he’s got [Applause] 13 and two free throws coming up unable to get that one to go with all the content yeah easy call he is three for three from the free throw [Applause] line taking two shots [Applause] first free throw is good [Applause] and that one goes in two from the line that time oklahoma City has gone one of two from beyond the arc since coming out of the [Applause] break williams with a clean look and he gets it to go hitting off the back of the rim williams has got four this quarter okay good game plan to start the second half three of four so far from the field against Alex burton outside shot clock at six shoots the three and once again off the mark by Indiana oklahoma City leading by three gilgus Alexander passes to Hartinstein and it’s sent back by Turner and here we go fast break hallebertton’s got it lays it up off the glass hallebertton’s got 30 an excellent awareness and effort hallebertton getting involved and finishing that time on the break gilas Alexander with it now guarded by Shiak offensive rebound and he uses the glass on the layup gilis Alexander’s got 30 down the stretch he’s been flat out awesome he helped them get the lead and now he’s making sure they keep it and Rick Corw decides to call timeout wants to talk some things over might be seeing some things to adjust here are the NBA’s top scorers during this postseason as shown on the 2K leaderboard shade Gilis Alexander his second and he’s taken off on a tremendous scoring streak at the perfect time i mean obviously he’s established himself as a premier playoff performer kneesmith with the ball he’s against Williams siaka kicks to Hallebertton wants to get it to Turner and does and it’s crucial that Turner remains assertive like this because it’s how he’s going to get these calls it’s his first trip to the line miles turn two [Applause] shots and he makes the first 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 [Applause] Packers he doesn’t get the second one for Oklahoma City they’ve gone 4-7 to get things started here in the second half wasted no time on that one george got a pair of threes now here in the third for the Thunder the size and skill of Gorge is pretty unique really effective at any [Applause] position in the third quarter just over 3 and 1/2 minutes off the clock here’s Memo to N Smith hits it from three-point range n Smith has got five now and you’re asking for more trouble than you can handle if you’re going to let him just roam free from beyond the ark homegrren kicks to Gilg [Applause] Alexander from outside the arc seakum pulls it in seakum’s got his fourth rebound with that last one here tonight he had six points from long range in the first half but nothing’s fallen here since [Applause] lays up the pick for the tie it counts and the foul one on Homegrren well an assertive Seakum is an effective seak this will be his fourth shot at the line in this one at the line of the cop and that drops so they now lead by one and here’s Gilis Alexander he’ll bring it up for Oklahoma City outside Williams tipped away turner with the steal to the paint here’s Seiakum and Seakkum throws it down what a throw down seakum making sure no one gets in his way thunder have gone five of nine on field goal attempt since halftime and the foul on Miles Turner that’ll be his second foul of the game first [Applause] [Music] team Alexander against Hallebertton his shooting this quarter has to be a huge concern especially when they’re behind like this can he find a rhythm seakum mounts up turner with a screen on Hardenstein they get the rebound pass Denise Smith neard with it out of bounds oklahoma City takes possession and that’s just carelessness there i mean you have got to have your head during the game now the Thunder making a switch here caruso’s checked in and Indiana with a change here too benedict Matine he’s checked in for Nith hartinstein passes to Caruso and here is Dort oklahoma City moving it around and that time also a missed shot and got to like what they’ve been doing down low in the post shooting foul as the whistle blows he’ll shoot two free throws and they didn’t shoot it very well from the line in the first half but they’ve gotten much better since halftime and it’s helped them to secure the lead what do you guys think so far about the offensive approach for the Pacers you love how they’ve lived in the paint making the defense just consistently have to collapse and still finding ways to convert well the three-point shot has been absolutely huge for them this entire game and let’s be honest you have to knock down threes to win games these days the first one falls and a good job bringing that free throw percentage up here in the second half doing a great job at the line [Applause] and both free throws good for Nehart and he’s given them a good contribution at the line tonight getting there a lot and delivering on his opportunities and Mark Dagno calls timeout this will give him a chance to discuss some potential alterations [Applause] [Music] let’s hear it [Applause] now here’s Dors defense is right there and here’s Kilis Alexander outside gets rebounded by Indiana near got rebound number five here for tonight launches it for Thunder pull it in not sure how he finds himself in so much space there he’s kicking himself for whiffing a bit on that one outside Gilgish Alexander six on the shot clock here’s the floater misses and the dry spell continues all the energy is on the other side right now and every miss just makes it worse well the other team is scorching hot and they come down on this end and can’t find a way to get the embers going siakum kicks to Hallebertton gets to the rim for two with the D all over him hallebertton’s got the lead up to seven now for Indiana and Mark Dagno calls timeout wants to regroup and go over the strategy tyrese Hallebertton with a strong contribution so far in this one they got to be using this timeout to think about a personnel change or a game plan change to try to slow him down [Applause] good [Applause] hartinstein passes to Gilg Alexander lays it in without an inch of room around him gilas Alexander’s got 32 points in the game pacers leading by five pass to Nemo on the wing matarin defended by Caruso and the foul on Miles Turner and that’ll be his third foul so [Applause] far the Thunder have gone six of 14 since halftime a little cold from the field [Applause] dort left side pass to Caruso dort with a screen for Caruso the three-pointer no good indiana’s gone a less than productive two of six from three-point land in the second half memar the pass to Matherine [Applause] caruso grabs the miss there’s a little bit of pressure on him but not enough to cause him to miss a shot that’s in that close seakum against Williams dort misses and so it’s Turner with it he brings it up for the Pacers it’s a five-point game pass to Methin now here is Siako hallebertton for three and the three ball is good hallebertton’s got seven now in this quarter no hesitation from Tyrese Hallebertton he’s a confident guy the Thunder shooting a troubling 38% in the third not the finest work of this offense and there is a whistle that goes on Andrew Nehar that is his first foul of the game for the Thunder Williams comes in for Isaiah Hartenstein and Aaron Wiggins is subbed in for Gilg Alexander indiana also making some changes topin comes in for Turner and it’s TJ McConnell in for Hallebertton here’s Williams 12 points for him caruso a screen on Matin here’s Williams whistle blows bucket is good he’ll have a chance at the line to make it a three-point play and Jaylen Williams had a plan there to outwork the defense he knows you got to bring it to the paint the Thunder shooting their sixth attempt the tyranny strike in the game isaiah Joe he’s judging for Dor and a change for the Pacers ryan’s check in williams pacers leading by five McConnell kicks to pass to Matie whistle blows basket is good so a chance here for a three-point play a skillful move there by Matine against the contact somehow finding a way to get the shot to fall first trip to the free throw line for him tonight [Music] [Applause] free throw good Matarin and one difference this have is that when they get to the line they’re converting [Applause] now here’s Williams 15 points in the game over topping and a kind roll that time off the rim as that one falls williams has got 17 and since halftime he has been a different player pass to Matherine seakum outside ryan with a screen for Seiakum off target with his three well if he wants to make the defense work he’s got to start knocking down the threes only one so far in this game for him and none since halftime and not being as aggressive from the three-point line anymore that they had a lot more in that first half to the middle here’s Siaka it’s rebounded by Oklahoma City williams has got four rebounds in this game pass to Williams lets it go from deep it’s rebounded by Indiana pass it to [Applause] Siako we’ve got 123 left in the third quarter bryant with it covered by Joe and they double up Bryant and the officials calling for a 3second violation thunder trailing by four outside Williams it’s stolen by Matan topin with it now defended by Wiggins seakum can’t hit from in close oklahoma City shooting an outstanding 53% for the game and there’s the foul on the shot he’ll go to the line for two thunder shooting their seventh and eighth free throw attempts for the game right here at the line william take a break take a break two shots he’s off on the first [Applause] and he’s good on the second and so it’s McConnell with it they’ll bring it up for Indiana three-point lead pass to Tophen bryant against Williams and a wide open look from Matan good and the assist goes to Bryant eight points here for Benedict Matan williams against Toppen shots good by Williams and there’s a pattern starting to take shape here they’re working it inside and getting good shots from close [Applause] range mcconnell scanning the floor pocket six and stolen by Wiggins here’s Williams and again it’s Oklahoma City three quarters to play in a close game here it’s the Pacers they lead by two and when we return we’ll get the fourth and let’s go back to a terrific pass that we’re calling tonight our State Farm assist of the game and the definition of teamwork right there guys i mean what great communication between them and what a beautiful feat well coaches talk about it all the time but to be able to play with that kind of feel nice play collaborating improvising and organic three tense quarters behind us one more to go thanks for being with us as we begin the fourth on the court right now for the Basel they’ve got Bryant benedict Matherine is out there with Tophin that’s TJ McConnell and it’s Hallebertton and at the shooting guard pass to Joe to take the lead it’s good from long range joe’s got his first three points of the game on the finishing end the catch and shoot joe is dead now Hbert outside Min trying to answer back but that three is off the mark the Thunder with the lead joe with it right side Gilgus Alexander begins passes to Gilgish Alexander the kick out to Williams oh good on the three and they had some boxed coverage that turned into no cover williams with the steel here’s the break to the big dunk at the end of the break got to take care of the ball they’ll punish you if you’re that careless that’s right and that’s severe punishment right there how about the sequence in its entirety momentum swing and you love the effort here bryant with a screen on Caruso the shots good from Hallebertton running the pick and roll with just tremendous patience and poise hallebertton reading the defense so well he exploited that opening outside gil Alexander takes it off the glass gil Alexander’s got 34 gil just Alexander such a tough cover especially at his side [Applause] and here’s the Burton outside good and McConnell gets the assist mcconnell’s got six assists in the game and great intensity here down the stretch he’s not one to shrink in the moment take a look at him locked in right now in this moment wants the ball in his hands and feels real comfortable with the shot he’s taking here’s Wiggins plays it up and paints it in and the Thunder lead by two that’s an excellent play call to free him up from the defense well taking advantage of that opportunity it does not get any more high percentage than that mcconnell finds Toppin quarter keeps moving right along three minutes gone so far time on the clock mer and foul on the shot he’ll shoot two at the free throw line and one of the problems from the first half that shotty work at the free throw line they needed to fix that and they’ve been much improved since the break in a moment now to quickly take a look at the offensive approach for the Thunder credit them for not settling i mean they’ve been in attack mode off the dribble all game long and thus far it’s paying off well if we add another thing to it it’s about the urgency they’ve played with and when you look at the eyes of these guys they’re focused wanting to get up tempo and that’s helped them score on the fast break and I like the drive of this kid matine really a team player and the Thunder making a switch here dort checked in the Pacers also with a sub nemard’s checked in and so he hits both and here’s Gilgis Alexander he’ll bring it up for Oklahoma [Applause] City pass to Garuso crs the three-pointer such an improved part of SGA’s game love his passing skills pacers trail by three with it hallebertton pass it to Matan that ball falls nice feed that time from Hallebertton and it’s 13 points here for Benedict Matan now Gilis Alexander and he could not get that one to go out of contact and he’ll go to the line for two it goes on Tyrese Hallebertton so slippery in there gildas Alexander makes great adjustments to get what he wants [Applause] giler first free throw is good and the growth that Shay has shown over the years it has come on so fast with how he has improved that he’s adding to his game and he makes both free throws indiana’s gone two in the fourth quarter from Long Re good shooting so far hallebertton finds Matie brian a screen on Caruso [Applause] caruso against Matan bucket is good matine’s got the game tied up here for Indiana what a motor matan can go all night and and he has what a performance here’s George carries it from three-point range george got 21 in the game well he should be playing this game with an apron on because he’s right here’s Hallebertton and it’s Jay Gilis Alexander with the rebound caruso with the ball picked up by Bright caruso hits to Wiggins back to Gilles Alexander wiggins has a screen for Dory off target from outside aces trail by three here’s Nemo pass the topper no good from outside outside Gilgus Alexander and foul on the shot so he’ll get a chance at the line it’s going to be on Obi-Wan just Alexander does a good job of just staying aggressive and that just forces the defense to do something [Applause] shooting two that’s good from Gilgus Alexander Hartenstein he’s checked in for Oklahoma City williams comes in for Aaron Wiggins turner’s checked in for Indiana pascal Seakum comes in for [Applause] chopping diligious Alexander hits them both acers trail by five outside Matin shaves over Caruso matan good aan’s got nine points in the quarter he was sitting back a little bit there in the first half but feels like showtime now and he’s ready to put some major points up on the board turner with the steal and here’s the fast break seakum leading the way uses the glass to finish the lane you see the mobility on the break seakum goes after every easy scoring opportunity he sees williams passes to Hart [Applause] shot to wide open the thunder with another miss and I thought that was going to fly looks good from here pass to Matan no that time in the shot that would have put them on top thunder have gotten into a pretty good groove going six of 10 here in the final quarter now [Music] Caruso here’s the screen from outside off the mark that’s a look you cannot pass up it’s also one you should miss and it’s Turner finishing it off hard to stop Turner in close as soon as he has prime positioning he is going for the slam pass to Dort Gilis Alexander kicks to Caruso shot clock at six here’s Gor and it’s sent back by Turner and I would not test Turner miles has led blocks and just has great timing hardest jumps and Mark Dagno calls timeouts he knows every possession is critical now ready everyone home ready he’s checked in for Oklahoma City aaron Kneesmith has checked in for the Pat and while we’ve got a moment let’s send it over to our terrific reporter David david hey guys during the last break here’s what Mark Dagnel was telling his team now with the game in the balance he had some encouraging words for his team he said “This is what we wanted we thought if we kept it close we could pull it out now let’s go out there and do just that back to you guys thank you David here’s Gilg Alexander nails it from the high post gil Alexander’s got 40 points he is at his best and it matters most this game is theirs as long as he can keep this up calibbertton Nation here’s the pick here’s Siaka it’s Kren with the rebound homer’s got his seventh rebound of the game with that last one to the inside outside for Gus Alexander the bucket is good he’ll have a chance for one more here it goes on coaches love Gilas Alexander and the way that he’s working he’s refusing to give in against that kind of airtight defense first personal foul find the legs one shot before your thunder Alexander shooting one that’s good from Gilas Alexander pacers trail by four outside to Nemo and a miss there on the triple well the D really getting away with one there no one on him that’s going to be good nine out of 10 times and it’s Gilas Alexander missing seakum with it he’s picked up by Gilas Alexander [Applause] and they call the foul so he’s got the and one chance here to make it a three-point play and you know how hard Turner goes has the strength needed to work through the contact and finish [Music] [Applause] 91 and the free throw no good for Oklahoma City they’ve got a pretty good rhythm going offensively shooting eight of 15 for the quarter dort passes to Homer outside Gilus Alexander good on the triple gil Alexander’s got 46 points sga doesn’t rely on the three to get his points but man it’s falling watch out he’s to Hellbert four on the clock wants to get it to Turner and does takes the Galu pass and dunks it down easy to understand why they go to Turner here and they trust in his ability to come through dort with the ball connects again from distance and he’s letting it fly from long range to devastating effect and he’s now tied the franchise record for triples in a playoff game here’s Nishn and they come right back with their own three-point 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 here’s Homegrren there’s the three it’s rebounded by Tyresese Hallebertton hallebertton got rebound number five here tonight there are times when you want your guards to be aggressive and Hallebertton there with a great [Applause] take two shots [Applause] that’s good from Hellbert [Applause] [Music] hallebertton hits him both yeah not the guy that you want to put at the line in these moments he’s not missing these now here’s Williams over Nmith williams can’t get it to go and Turner kicks to Hallebertton two minutes remaining in the game two minutes 158 left in the game turner with a screen on Williams nemo and once again off the mark by Indiana and Gilgus Alexander’s got the ball here for the Oklahoma City Thunder they lead by one and he’s fouled pretty hard on that shot but he’s got the chance to pick up the points at the line [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] he drops the first one that will put them up by two [Applause] and he hits more free throws here so now it’s a three-point game you just have to understand that hours and hours of practice mean that clutch free throws become easy here’s the two free throws coming up and they call the shooting foul here throughout his career Siaku gets himself to the foul line a lot adept at using that ring he’ll earn some free throws here [Applause] so the first one drops and that brings them within two siakum hits them [Applause] both 131 left to play here in the fourth here’s Gilis Alexander the shot no good excellent defense there from Hallebertton to take the lead and that one clearly a foul gets the whistle and two shots coming up [Applause] [Applause] that’s the first and that ties the game up and so making both free throws better give them the lead here and how about the composure there at the line a ton of pressure on those free throws and he knocks them both in and it’s Gilg Alexander missing and Indiana shooting in the fourth has been tremendous 59% pass to Syakum from seven good that is world class love seeing that there a huge possession and he nets it and Mark Dagno calls timeout here the magnitude at this juncture in the game clearly warranting a timeout [Applause] from deep he’ll just have yet another bucket talk about the night he’s had that’s Gordon ties him for the single game playoff tie for this team he has been nothing short of amazing tonight a legendary playoff performance from him and so it’s Rick Carile here calling timeout and he knows there’s no room for mistakes and wants everyone on the same [Applause] page here’s Yakam over Homegrren it’s rebounded by Hartinsten up top covered by Seakum the pass to Hartin and here’s the fast break seakum leading the way money sakum seakum that’s a big time play and Mark Dagno calls timeout here coach clearly feeling the necessity to regroup with so much at stake here and talking about the approach now what are they looking at big chance here to tie it with a bucket they just need a solid play right now and coach going through his index cards to find one to get something going 29 seconds left in the fourth quarter and another one falls and he’s on a tear offensively lighting up the scoreboard with a he now holds the team’s single game record for postseason scoring [Applause] the free throw off from Gilgus Alexander allebertton outside there’s 10 seconds left to play in the final quarter six to shoot here’s Siaka oh missed it had a foul to give there but rather not have it cost your team [Applause] [Applause] and the first of two no good break no good at the strike this time second this is [Applause] also and regulation now complete we will go to overtime and for 2K Sports we’ll be back here at Paycom well four quarters weren’t enough to decide this ball game sit back and enjoy as we move on to overtime here we go the four and the five the lengthy pair of Homegrren and Hartenshine gilgis Alexander runs things with Gord to his side and it’s Williams at the three turner looking around and Denise Smith is looking for Siak and finds him hallebertton for three gets the three-pointer to fall hallebertton’s got 45 points coming into the league scouts had some uncertainty about Hallebertton’s jumper mostly because of the way it looks to push shot out front but show he’s more than capable as a shooter and sometimes as a point guard you got to take things into your own hand yeah right it’s okay to be selfish when you have a chance well if he’s calling his own number there’s a reason for it they respect the decision making from him out there outside pocket six indiana needs to get a shot with Siaka and the rejection by Hogren here’s Dort and the layup’s good off the glass dort’s got 26 dort can be streaky but man when he gets in the rhythm they’re going to start to find him hallebertton passes to Nemo turner for three gil Alexander pulls it in and you could tell he thought that triple was going to fall it’s a nice passing by Oklahoma City williams shot is off for Indiana they’ve gone one and three from the floor since the start of Peith yes and the foul that one on Gilas Alexander and the combination of his quickness and soft touch around the rim really allows him to pull off shots like that a lot of players don’t have the reverse in their arsenal one [Applause] And Gilgus Alexander’s got the ball here for the Oklahoma City Thunder outside [Applause] to pass to Hartenstein now here’s Homer just five to shoot williams outside burries the long range jumper he’s got 25 man I’ll tell you what the pressure is cranked up who better to call than this guy and Rick Cornwall decides to call timeout and clearly an important junction he’s going to have some choice words with his [Applause] team and you know what to do just under 2 and 1/2 minutes past here in this overtime ghard shot is good that play never gets old the pick and roll will still be an offensive staple 100 years from now trust me [Applause] homer sets the screen for Gilis Alexander pascal Seakum grabs the miss seakum’s got rebound number 10’s not that Denise Smith and here’s Albert takes the three sinks the three-pointer hallebertton’s got 48 and Hallebertton looks absolutely unfazed by the moment [Applause] alexander against good that’s another bucket you see how easily he’s getting buckets to be this hot must be a heck of a feeling no doubt and get this he’s now tied for the third most points in a playoff game ever alongside Donovan Mitchell who got 57 in the bubble back in 2020 [Music] [Applause] yeah big play on the front end to finish despite getting hacked there and big on the back end to hit the free throw seakum inside working on home tries again and seakum with the nice bucket inside seakum’s got 23 points oh huge basket by Siakman we’ve seen this before in the final and it’s sent back by [Applause] Turner now here’s N alexander recover and the foul called on Pascal Siaka that’ll be his second foul of the game oh great defense they anticipated the play and got there first trailing by three outside kiljis [Applause] Alexander the rebound by Hallebertton indiana’s gotten six points by way of the three-point shot in overtime they’re two of four on their attempts from G and delivering in the clutch here with zero fear running the ball it matters most real good and that tacks another big point onto the lead great N1 play showing us now a little bit of that killer instinct Alexander against Hallebertton it falls and now they trail by just four outside pass to Siak away it’s rebounded by Oklahoma City here’s Dort outside for Gilg Alexander connects again and that bucket looks as wide as the Pacific Ocean he just can’t miss a phenomenal offensive exhibition now he is tied the alltime story mark for points in a playoff game and the great Michael Jordan may stand alone but not in this category he’s got some shot clock at six here’s and that’ll be two free throws coming up officials on the call with the foul and so he’s picked up his final foul for the rest of the game and luckily they’ve got terrific at that position if there’s one spot on the floor where they can afford to lose somebody that would probably be it [Applause] and he cannot get the first one to drop tough one to miss [Applause] he’s able to hit the second one and that will put them up by two and more dead calls timeout here pivotal moment in this game he’s not taking any chances he’ll call time what do you think we’re going to see here big chance here to tie it with a bucket they just need a solid play right now on coach going through his index cards to find one to get something [Applause] going gil Alexander with it to tie it up again on an avalanche and that bucket if you can believe it sets a new all-time record for points in a playoff game craig the way he came out tonight you can feel the level of his focus he put his team on his back and has delivered an incredible offensive show and it was way back in 1986 that Michael Jordan set the record of 63 points and when you surpass the greatest of all time you’ve done something [Applause] [Applause] special and so we are tied again at the end of overtime now we’re headed to overtime number two and for 2K and with another overtime in front of us the question is who will blink first nobody wants to give in a lot of pride now on the line here we go and play stops whistling what looks to be an illegal swoop that one stings there hurts so much more to turn the ball over especially with how tight the game is and Indiana shooting so far very efficient all around about 55% [Applause] hallebertton outside shoots over Kilus Edwards and the Pacers can’t get it to go there’s Williams plays it up and despite of the excellent defense at that Williams has got 27 again it’s Jaylen Williams he is in a groove playing with confidence just keep finding him he’s with the Bastion Emma overton outside for three caruso grabs the miss not quite enough defense that time around just lucky he was off they get it back outside for Dilas Alexander six on the shot clock and yet again Pascal Seakum grabs the miss seakum’s got rebound number 12 here already in the game a nice shot by Nith and Seakum showing off his vision with a nice pass oklahoma City trailering outside williams back to Gil Alexander shoots and it’s good off the back of the rim and in nice read as usual by Gilas [Applause] Alexander and here is Met to [Applause] Nemo and Rick Carile decides to call timeout he’s not taking any chances and wants to huddle him up right away here they come fans it’s your one and only [Applause] girl [Applause] here’s Lee Smith it falls for the sixth time in seven tries this contest that’s 86% how about the inbound pass there easy bucket here’s Gilus Alexander finds the bottom of the bucket from 13 ft out and the jump shot has been a dimension of this game where they’ve had it outside dmo Alexander against Hallebert four here’s Seakum and again it’s Indiana well at that mid-range Sakum has a nice face up game outside Dort back to Gilus Alexander oklahoma City moving it around and again for three and talk about stepping up he’s having a playoff game these fans will never forget that last three means he’s got the most threes in a single playoff game in franchise history smith can’t get it to go you know what though sometimes you can be too open i think it may have surprised him and that’s why he missed and foul on the shot so he’ll get a chance at the line [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] and that hurts as he doesn’t get the first one to fall trying to focus now on the second [Applause] That’s good going one or two from the line and that makes it a three-point lead and so here is Indiana [Applause] now and right there you can you can see the impact of L so tough to defend once he gets to his spot [Applause] red on the first and that brings them within two [Applause] seakum hits them both oklahoma City shooting has been terrific 54% on the game here’s Gilis Alexander gets rebounded by Indiana seiakum outside at the top of the key hallebertton nice move pass to Turner seakum [Applause] outside shoots over Caruso it’s good and this is how deadly Seakum can be when he’s cooking like this you just feed him and get out of the way and it’s Oklahoma City’s ball and you hear this crowd they know he just set the three-point single game playoff record well they’ve seen lots of stars over the years but this guy he has the most threes in a single game for their team [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] gorgees alexander again caliber here’s the net and a lot of contact on that one so he’ll shoot two here oh this is [Applause] all first free throw is good and that will put them up by two [Applause] and so he drops them both it’s a three-point game here’s Gilg [Applause] Alexander going inside count it and that shot brings them to within just one this Alexander gonna celebrate that one you can probably expect to see him slow it down yeah [Applause] milaka and there’s the foul Alex that’s his third foul so far from the situation in effect so we’ll have a line for two [Applause] he hits the first one and that will put them up by two [Applause] so he goes two for two at the line and it’s a three-point game well important there to have the three-point lead because only A3 can tie it up now and Mark Dagno calls timeout here this is a huge moment folks in this game and he wants to be prepared turning here to our analysts what about those guys come to your mind and if you can get a three shoot it otherwise get the quick two and a five don’t force something up you got to be smart [Applause] here from deep Gilis Alexander gets rebounded by Indiana with an intentional foul there stops the clock you have to foul but I’m sure they would like to foul somewhat different so the first one drops and that gives them a four-point cushion [Applause] so against them both and it’s a five-point game and just like that this game is a two-possession affair no time to waste on this possession time is not on their side right now they’re aware and it’s still a rare sight to see rebound numbers like the one he’s had tonight well this kind of effort will energize the team and get you going just gobbling up every board [Applause] [Applause] and he drops the first one and that increases their lead to six [Applause] second one is good getting both at the line and it’s a seven-point game and they’ve been a different team here in overtime they they just seem to have lost their energy nailed from three-point land so a close game sees Indiana take this one and this win puts them squarely in the driver’s seat in this series up now break two zip with all the momentum on their side i mean [Music] and it’s Turner in at the pivot spot manning the middle for the Thunder the four and the five the lengthy pair of Homer and Hartinstein gilis Alexander runs things with Gourd to his side and it’s Williams at the small forward position and a wide open look for Gilis Alexander and it’s good assistant on the play was Williams SGA from way out there knocking down the [Applause] three [Music] [Applause] out back to Hallebertton hits some rim on the way in and the bucket’s good and he’s not going to miss many of those especially that wide opener you know he’s automatic from the mid-range and the defense knows that it’s a mistake to give up a shot like that goes up with the strike it’s rebounded by Ni Smith pass to [Applause] Nemo and the call on the shot sends him to the line and really the defense bound there to prevent the layup but that’s exactly what you need to do are shooting their first free throws of the game [Applause] [Applause] and the first one drops [Applause] [Applause] and both free throws good for Nemhar and Gilis Alexander’s got the ball here for Oklahoma City needed to bounce back from Wednesday’s loss yeah you could see they were pressing in that one and the shooting percentages dipped because of it pal so anytime you’re having trouble getting over that 40% field goal mark it’s probably not going to be your night or the three sinks the triple gil Alexander’s got a pair of threes now in the first quarter for Oklahoma City and here are the bases now hallebertton and Bassmo and in the first a little over a minute and a half inch hires the three it’s rebounded by Oklahoma City and here is Dort pass to Gilis Alexander goes to the reverse layup and taps it in gilas Alexander’s got eight points about the agility of Shay Gilis Alexander able to get around that inside contact [Applause] hallebertton feeling it out a bit that’s his second shot and his second basket he’s two for two and giving up some inches inside but makes up for it with an aggressive stop yeah the big man not going to slow him down from getting that deuce hartinstein against Turner williams outside that one doesn’t drop and so it’s Turner with it he brings it up for the Pacers trailing by two hallebertton passes to Turner now Denise Smith six to [Applause] shoot home against Siaka and he’s good on the three ball seakum that’s a developing area so don’t give him a reason to shoot another outside Williams and oh boy a lot of contact there but he gets the call and will shoot two i tell you what he earned his money on that foul the Thunder shooting their first foul shots of the night here william taking two shots 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 he hits both from the strike here’s [Applause] Hallebertton outside Turner pass to [Applause] Nemo gil Alexander against Hallebertton the shot by Turner no good oklahoma City has gone two or four from beyond the arc to start the game homegrren the pass to Hartinstein back to Homegrren oh good on the triple and on an open look like that he’s very gifted at making those weak coverage play nothing that time he’s 0 for two the Thunder with the lead a drop by Homer banked in off the glass oh the long strides of home on display this is why you can’t give him the lane and Rick Carw decides to call timeout but he’s made the decision he wants to huddle up with his guys and on the screen now is the 2K leaderboard with a rundown of this postseason’s assist leaders tyrese Hallebertton on top and of course Shay Gilis Alexander i think these two guys are having a little personal competition here in the playoffs to see who will finish with the most [Applause] assists and so here is Indiana it’s a three-point game hallebertton outside a three-pointer is right on target hallebertton’s got seven points boy Hallebertton consistent with that shot for Oklahoma City they’ve gone 50% from the field at this point four of eight hartenstein passes to Dort and they wasted no time getting those three points back nice answer back there love to see the competitor both teams finding ways to the three-point line and trying to take advantage from distance it’s deflected it’s stolen by Gil Alexander over in the corner [Applause] dort on the left block neard grabs the board you know they don’t score on that shot but they’re going to be happy with those kinds of possessions [Applause] turner finds Seakum green by Seakum no problems knocking that one down he has five well Seakum playing unselfish and a better option just to drop that one off oklahoma City’s gone 306 50% from deep so far tonight here’s Gilgis Alexander and a lot of contact on that one so he’ll shoot two here it’s going to be on Siaka for Oklahoma City they’ve gone two for two in the game at the line [Applause] sh taking two shots [Applause] first one falls for him and money from the stripe sga could close his eyes and knock that down gilg 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 siaka passes to Hallebertton turner with a screen on Gildas Alexander hallebertton no good his touch from mid-range that’s almost always good that won’t shake his confidence pass to Williams shoots over Nehar and a great move by Williams yeah as a shooter Williams is fairly flexible pacers trail by four seakum outside here’s Helbert gets rebounded by Oklahoma City and I was sure that was money on that one but everyone is afforded an easy miss yeah that happens important thing is for players just don’t beat yourself up and make a miss like that cost you another play for Indiana they’ve gotten five of 10 shots to drop in this game so far right at the 50% mark hard finds Hallebertton count it for 12 hallebertton’s got nine points and he is really in a zone right now playing and scoring with confidence pass to Hartinstein back to Gildas Alexander played in with a nice touch off the glass 12 points for him flat out taking the game over and there’s no way he’s going to give it up outside turner [Applause] here’s Misman he claims that one off the back iron and down it falls sweet pass from Turner he’s really been working on his ability to pass the ball gil Alexander looking around that one good for two and the Thunder lead by four and boy he’s really in a groove dominant performance last game same thing this time out seems to be nobody standing in his way no roadblocks for him to get to his spot capitalize continue to be aggressive burton against Gil Alexander here’s a three off the mark the Thunder lead by four dort kicks to Gilgal [Applause] driving to the basket it falls for the sixth time in seven tries this contest that’s 86% this is what Gilas Alexander does he attacks you relentlessly [Applause] here’s Nehard five points in the game and it’s Hallebertton missing and they have a narrow edge here in rebounding early on and you wonder what kind of a role that’s going to play moving forward the shots good from Gilgus Alexander only one miss in his first eight attempts coming out of the gate strong and Rick Corle decides to call timeout he’s ready to talk things through with the team [Applause] now for your thunder [Applause] for the Thunder williams is checked in for Hartstein aaron Wiggins comes in for Jen Homegrren and it’s Alex Caruso in for Dorch so an entirely new group in now for Indiana obie Toppins checked in for Turner benedict Mathering comes in for Niss shepard’s checked in for Andrew Neh and it’s TJ McConnell in for Hallebertton [Applause] and here are the Pacers now trailing here by eight we’re topping a big player that can see over the top of guys that time a good decision and Gilgish Alexander’s got the ball here for the Thunder the 11footer and it goes out of bounds last touch by Toppen and Oklahoma City making a change here joe’s checked in the Pacers making a change [Applause] here and here now the Thunder six-point lead left side Williams five to shoot good and the story here Kevin early on is how well they shot the basketball razers have gone eight of 15 from the field shooting above 50% tonight pass to Wiggins with the rebound they’ve been beating them to a lot of those loose balls and rebounds here to start a chance to extend the lead to double digits but it’s no [Applause] good caruso against Topon Williams here’s McConnell and off the front iron and in it goes punch counter punch impressive offensive production early on who’s going to miss first every time one team scores the other team right back at you here’s Williams 11 ft out and he hits it williams has got six points you can’t just stop when there’s a pick 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 here’s Seiakum takes the 12-footer and hits he has five creating some space in the twoman game seakum read that one right outside Williams and the rebound goes to the Patriots teammates right now covering up for the type of off performance he’s having in terms of scoring this has not been his best night here’s Seakum and contact on the shot so he’ll be shooting free throws here most is going to bring some intensity inside he’s embracing the chance to foul now let’s take a moment to get your guys take on the scoring for the Thunder and guys I love the movement doing a great job of just getting the ball on a string creating some opportunities well a lot of the players are doing a good job as well of scanning the interior part of the paint all those inside looks those are paying off shay Gildish Alexander checked in for Williams allebertton’s checked in for the Pacers and he can’t hit the second and Pascal Seakum has really worked on his game over the years barely scored as a rookie and worked himself into an allNBA selection not the kind of aggressive defense they need to cut into the lead yeah you have to protect the rim Ray a little better good job to recognize the opportunity it’s just very solid offense and a wide open look for Hallebertton drills the three-pointer hallebertton’s got 12 this is not a player who likes to be trailing in any game that lights a fire williams a screen on McConnell it’s stolen by Matan 3 seconds separate the shot clock and game clock down low here’s Hallebert and he gets the whistle two free throws coming up can’t be overzealous with Hallebert and when you are he embraces that you got the whistle he’s getting his first free throw attempt of the night right now [Applause] that’s good from Hallebertton and Howallebertton a guy you just continue to see grow game by game an exceptional talent and a great mind and Indiana making a change here lions checked in he hits one and misses one each at the line so valuable to this team hallelbert gives them whatever they need when they need it this guy is both patient and prolific gil Alexander with it williams a screen on McConnell and here’s Gilis Alexander outside jay Jones Alexander guys has been on display for the Oklahoma City Thunder going on an absolute rampage and it’s time for more of the NBA finals on 2K Sports what a time of year and for the Thunder guys what stands out to you so far well coaches preach ball movement and we saw exactly why in that first quarter everybody just feeling the energy of the basketball as they moved it around and lots of hands were touching it here’s McConnell on the court for Indiana he’ll be topping out there with Thomas Bryant then there’s Benedict Matan then it’s Hallebertton and it’s McConnell in at the wide now here is Hallebertton covered by Joe it’s good and the Thunder is cut down to just one on the basket from Hallebertton defense doing their best to put Hallebertton off balance but he stays flexible kind of warps around the defense and adjusts to the contact gil Alexander against McConnell and Gil just Alexander the bucket on the assist by Williams and they keep hammering away at him inside forcing the ball into the paint albertton pitched to over in the corner allebertton outside pocket six and another one in the scoring column for him he’s seven of 10 from the field hallebertton piling up points he can thank his impressive work ethic for that up top Gilas Alexander he’s covered by McConnell and yes it’s good d has been just completely helpless and turned around he’s so dangerous when he’s in this kind of rhythm hallebertton for three misses fourth time against seven makes in this game well after getting off to a great start hitting those first two shots he’s definitely regressed a little bit in this quarter pacers trail by three here’s Matan good and McConnell gets the assist

him to make every single one of those oklahoma City has gone three of seven tonight from three-point territory basket is good and he’ll get a chance for one more at the line and they are attacking the rim and getting great results and he’s got his first chance at the line here hartinstein’s checked in for the Thunder dort comes in for Isaiah Joe indiana also making some changes miles Turner he’s

count and D did it that time demhard finds Allebertton trying to come right back with a three of his own it’s no good now here’s Gilas Alexander 26 points for him solid shot from the distance of the about 14 ft gilas Alexander’s got 28 boy has he put his foot on the pedal here this quarter he’s doing a terrific job in terms of leading offense turner with a screen on Gilis Alexander hallebertton

team for the Thunder Homer he’s checked in for Wiggins and Jaylen Williams is subbed in for Gilis Alexander then for the Pacers Pascal Seakum comes in for Top It and Aaron E smith subbed in for Benedict [Applause] Matanie oklahoma City has gone one of two on three-pointers here in the second quarter so far caruso kicks to Dort three-pointer the rebound by Turner turner’s got his fifth rebound right now in the game here’s Meard five points in the game seakum outside pass to Hallebertton shaves over Caruso hallebertton no good oklahoma City trailing hartenstein passes to Caruso here’s Homegr fires from deep dort misses and close to making the defense pay for the lack coverage that time here’s Siaka and they call the foul so a chance at the line for one more coming up and one area where they’ve improved here in the second quarter is getting the ball in the paint that inside scoring has gotten much stronger tj McConnell he’s checked in for Indiana [Applause] and that one misses and they’re trailing by three williams inside he’s covered by McConnell and he drops in the layup off the glass williams has got eight points just takes advantage of the deep in a way that very few players playing today can do siaka deciding where to go with it turner with the screen for Siaka knocked away williams with the steal here’s Homegr from down in the low post it goes homegr’s got his second bucket of the game to go and looking to get stronger home fights through the bump tons of time for him to grow into that rank got a piece of it here’s Siaka indiana again turning it over these players can flat out shoot the rock the 2K leaderboard shows us the top three-point shooters in the playoffs well you look at Nmith second in the league extremely accurate from beyond the arc he is having so much success from beyond the three-point line some guys just thrive on this kind of pressure the Thunder with the lead and here is Williams he’s got eight pass to Homegrren outside Williams this one for three nehard grabs the board indiana’s gone past the three-point line for 13 of their shots six of 13 oklahoma City has gotten into trouble with the three ball in the second quarter only hitting one of five attempts dort kicks to Caruso hardenstein with a screen on McConnell and that one’s good caruso and I like the fact that he really was unfaced by that scoreless first quarter and now you can see him getting into a rip yeah denise to the inside here’s Nemo the dunk and the foul a powerhouse move and he’s got a chance for one more at the line that one on Williams this will be his third free throw shot of the game isaiah Joe he’s judging for the Thunder one shot [Applause] [Applause] and so it’s Williams who brings it up for the Thunder pass to Homer joe in the corner outside Dort and again Oklahoma City with the triple and that’s his second in this quarter guys he’s made three so far this game and is showing no signs of slowing down [Applause] knees with the ball williams picks him up and the rejection by Hungren shots good by Turner you know he’s had better starts obviously but he’s shaking it off here in the second pass to Hartenstein outside Dort hartenstein with the screen for Dort and the Thunder another three bottom line you need shooters on your team who can space the floor well there’s no doubt he’s a legitimate threat from downtown and he’s demonstrating that in this game he’s read McConnell turner with the screen just five on the clock that’s good and it’s McConnell with the assist mcconnell’s got three assists tonight well we’ve seen that movie a few times haven’t we an easy bucket in the paint outside Dort there’s 42 seconds left in the second quarter [Applause] henstein passes to Homer over Seiakum homerren can’t hit pacers trail by three pass Denise Smith indiana moving it [Applause] around it’s Neard on the wing defended by Dw he gets it in there neard’s got five points now in the quarter joe with it still without a basket holdren can’t [Applause] hit shay Gilis Alexander guys has been on display for the Oklahoma City Thunder he got into double digits for the quarter with 10 points total and we’ll be right back after this they’re not showing enough fight defensively take some pride getting some stops this is when your leader has to step in and say something yeah tough to beat a team that’s shooting double nickels from the field [Applause] and glad to have you with us as we get going here in game two you know Shane Gilis Alexander has been exceptional here tonight guys well we’ll find out if they were able to find an answer for him over the break he was scoring with ease in that first half yeah just way too easy out there and I’m sure coach is going to make that a priority at halftime [Applause] indiana trailing here the four and the five the lengthy pair of Homegrren and Hartenshot gilis Alexander runs things with Dort to his side and it’s Williams at the three the small four that’s the lineup out there for the Thunder for the lead pass to Nemo that ball falls nice feed that time from Hallebertton neard’s got 13 nice find by Hallebertton just a great feel for the game hardenshine with it here’s Dor and right away they match it with a three-pointer of their own and the Thunder lead by one now him inside and blocked the ball with his palm what a defensive play for three homer Pascal Seakum grabs the [Applause] miss nice defense from Torch that’s one for their first four to start the second half williams working [Applause] around buries it down low he’s got 10 third quarter of basketball we’re about a minute and a half in here’s Nehard he’s got 13 [Applause] and two free throws coming up unable to get that one to go with all the content yeah easy call he is three for three from the free throw line andrew taking two shots [Applause] first free throw is good [Applause] and that one goes in two from the line that time oklahoma City has gone one of two from beyond the arc since coming out of the [Applause] break williams with a clean look and he gets it to go hitting off the back of the rim williams has got four this work okay good game plan to start the second half three of four so far from the field burton against the Burton outside shot clock at six shoots the three and once again off the mark by Indiana Oklahoma City leading by three gilgus Alexander passes to Hart and shot and it’s sent back by Turner and here we go fast break hallebertton’s got it lays it up off the glass hallebertton’s got 30 an excellent awareness and effort hallebertton getting involved and finishing that time on the break gilas Alexander with it now guarded by Shiakam offensive rebound and he uses the glass on the layup gil Alexander’s got 30 down the stretch he’s been flat out awesome he helped them get the lead and now he’s making sure they keep it and Rick Corw decides to call timeout wants to talk some things over might be seeing some things to adjust right now here are the NBA’s top scorers during this postseason as shown on the 2K leaderboard shade Gilis Alexander is second and he’s taken off on a tremendous scoring streak at the perfect time i mean obviously he’s established himself as a premier playoff performer kneesmith with the ball he’s against Williams siaka kicks to Hallebertton wants to get it to Turner and does and it’s crucial that Turner remains assertive like this because it’s how he’s going to get these calls it’s his first trip to the line miles turn two shots [Applause] and he makes the first 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 [Applause] Packers he doesn’t get the second one for Oklahoma City they’ve gone 47 to get things started here in the second half wasted no time on that one george got a number of threes now here in the third for the Thunder the size and skill of George is pretty unique he can really effective at any [Applause] position in the third quarter with just over 3 and 1/2 minutes off the clock here’s Memo and Denise Smith hits it from three-point range n Smith has got five and you’re asking for more trouble than you can handle if you’re going to let him just roam free from beyond the arc homegrren kicks to Kilis [Applause] Alexander from outside the arc seakum pulls it in seakum’s got his fourth rebound with that last one here tonight he had six points from long range in the first half but nothing’s fallen here since [Applause] they have the pick with a tie it counts and the foul one on Homer well an assertive Seakum is an effective seak this will be his fourth shot at the line in this one seak shot and that drops so they now lead by one and here’s Gilgis Alexander he’ll bring it up for Oklahoma City outside Williams tipped away turner with the steel to the paint here’s Seiakum and Seiakum throws it down what a throwdown seaka making sure no one gets in his way thunder have gone five of nine on field goal attempts since halftime and the foul on Miles Turner that’ll be his second foul of the game second personal first [Applause] [Music] gilas Alexander against Hallebertton his shooting this quarter has to be a huge concern especially when they’re behind like this can he find a rhythm seakum outside turner with a screen on Hardenstein they get the rebound pass Denise Smith nehard with it out of bounds oklahoma City takes possession and that’s just carelessness there i mean you have got to have your head in the game the Thunder making a switch here caruso’s checked in and Indiana with a change here too benedict Matan he’s checked in for Hardenstein passes to Caruso and here is Dort oklahoma City moving it around and that time also a missed shot and got to like what they’ve been doing down low in the post shooting foul as the whistle blows he’ll shoot two free throws and they didn’t shoot it very well from the line in the first half but they’ve gotten much better since halftime and it’s helped them to secure the lead what do you guys think so far about the offensive approach for the Pacers you love how they’ve lived in the paint making the defense just consistently have to collapse and still finding ways to convert well the three-point shot has been absolutely huge for them this entire game and let’s be honest you have to knock down threes to win games these days the first one falls and a good job bringing that free throw percentage up here in the second half doing a great job at the line [Applause] and both free throws good for Nemhawk and he’s given them a good contribution at the line tonight getting there a lot and delivering on his opportunities and Mark Dagno calls timeout this will give him a chance to discuss some potential alterations let’s hear it [Applause] now here’s Dors defense is right there and here’s Gilis Alexander outside it’s rebounded by Indiana nemar’s got rebound number five here tonight launches it the Thunder pull it in not sure how he finds himself in so much space there and he’s kicking himself for whiffing a bit on that one outside Gilgish Alexander six on the shot clock here’s the floater misses and the dry spell continues all the energy is on the other side right now and every miss just makes it worse well the other team is scorching hot and they come down on this end and can’t find a way to get the embers going siakum kicks to Hallebertton gets to the rim for two with the D all over him hallebertton’s got the lead up to seven now for Indiana and Mark Dagno calls timeout wants to regroup and go over the strategy tyrese Hallebertton with a strong contribution so far in this one they got to be using this timeout to think about a personnel change or a game plan change to try to slow him down [Applause] good [Applause] hartinstein passes to Gilis Alexander lays it in without an inch of room around him gilgage Alexander’s got 32 points in the game pacers leading by five pass to Nemo on the wing matan defended by Caruso and the foul on Miles Turner and that’ll be his third foul so far [Applause] foul the Thunder have gone six of 14 since halftime a little cold from the [Applause] field dort left side pass to Caruso dort with a screen for Caruso the three-pointer no good indiana’s gone a less than productive two of six from three-point land in the second half meard the pass to [Applause] Matan caruso grabs the miss there’s a little bit of pressure on him but not enough to cause him to miss a shot that’s in that close seakum against Williams dort misses and so it’s Turner with it he brings it up for the Pacers it’s a five-point game pass to Matan now here is Siako hallebertton for three and the three ball is good hallebertton’s got seven now in this quarter no hesitation from Tyrese Hallebertton he’s a confident guy the Thunder shooting a troubling 38% in the third not the finest work of this offense and there is a whistle that goes on Andrew Nemo that is his first foul of the game for the Thunder williams comes in for Isaiah Hartenstein and Aaron Wiggins is subbed in for Gilg Alexander indiana also making some changes topin comes in for Turner and it’s TJ McConnell in for Hallebertton here’s Williams 12 points for him caruso a screen on Matan here’s Williams whistle blows bucket is good he’ll have a chance at the line to make it a three-point play and Jaylen Williams had a plan there to outwork the defense and he knows you got to bring it to the paint the Thunder shooting their sixth attempt strike in the game isaiah Joe he’s checked in for Dor and a change for the Pacers lions checked in shooting one pacers leading by five mcconnell kicks to Seattle to Matthew missile blows basket is good so a chance here for a three-point play a skillful move there by Matan against the contact somehow finding a way to get the shot to fall first trip to the free throw line for him tonight [Music] [Applause] free throw good matarin and one difference this have is that when they get to the line they’re converting [Applause] now here’s Williams 15 points in the game over top and a kind roll that time off the rim as that one falls williams has got 17 and since halftime he has been a different player pass to Matin seakum outside ryan with a screen for Seakum off target with his three but if he wants to make the defense work he’s got to start knocking down the threes only one so far in this game for him and none since halftime and not being as aggressive from the three-point line anymore that they had a lot more attempts in that first half to the middle here’s rebounded by Oklahoma City williams has got four rebounds in this game pass to Williams lets it go from deep it’s rebounded by [Applause] Indiana pass it to [Applause] Siako he’s got 123 left in the third quarter bryant with it covered by Joe and they double up right and the officials calling for a 3second violation thunder trailing by four outside Williams it’s stolen by Matin topin with it now defended by Wiggins siakum can’t hit from in close oklahoma City shooting an outstanding 52% for the game and there’s the foul on the shot he’ll go to the line for two thunder shooting their seventh and eighth free throw attempts for the game right here take a break take a break two shots he’s off on the first [Applause] and he’s good on the second and so it’s McConnell with it they’ll bring it up for Indiana three-point lead pass to Bryant against Williams and a wide open look from Matan good and the assist goes to Bryant eight points here for Benedict Matan williams against Tophen shots good by Williams and there’s a pattern starting to take shape here they’re working it inside and getting good shots from close [Applause] range mcconnell scanning the floor pocket six and stolen by Wiggins here’s Williams and again it’s Oklahoma City three quarters a play in a close game here it’s the Pacers they lead by two and when we return we’ll get the fourth and let’s go back to a terrific pass that we’re calling tonight our State Farm assist of the game and the definition of teamwork right there guys i mean what great communication between them and what a beautiful feat the coaches talk about it all the time but to be able to play with that kind of feel nice play collaborating improvising and organic three tanks quarters behind us one more to go thanks for being with us as we begin the fourth on the court right now for the Bes they’ve got Bryant benedict Mattherin is out there with Toughen that’s TJ McConnell and it’s Hallebertton in at the shooting guard pass to Joe to take the lead it’s good from Juan Re joe’s got his first three points of the game on the finishing in the catch and shoot joe is [Applause] dead now helbert outside trying to answer back but that three is off the mark the Thunder with the lead joe with it right side Gilgus Alexander higgins passes to Gildas Alexander the kick out to Williams oh good on the three and they had some boxed coverage that turned into no coverage williams with the steal here’s the break to the big dunk at the end of the break got to take care of the ball they’ll punish you if you’re that careless that’s right and that’s severe punishment right there how about the sequence in its entirety momentum swing and you love the effort here bryant with a screen on Caruso the shots good from Hallebertton running the pick and roll with just tremendous patience and poise hallebertton reading the defense so well he exploited that open outside gil Alexander takes it off the glass gil Alexander’s got 34 gil Alexander such a tough cover especially at his side [Applause] and here’s Burton outside good and McConnell gets the assist mcconnell’s got six assists in the game and great intensity here down the stretch he’s not one to shrink in the moment take a look at it locked in right now in this moment wants the ball in his hands and feels real comfortable with the shot he’s taken here’s Wiggins plays it up and banks it in and the Thunder lead by two that’s an excellent play call to free him up from the defense well taking advantage of that opportunity it does not get any more high percentage than that mcconnell finds top quarter keeps moving right along three minutes long so far five on the clock matthew and foul on the shot he’ll shoot two at the free throw line and one of the problems in the first half that shotty work at the free throw line they needed to fix that and they’ve been much improved since the break in a moment now to quickly take a look at the offensive approach for the Thunder credit them for not settling i mean they’ve been in attack mode off the dribble all game long and thus far it’s paying off well if we add another thing to it it’s about the urgency they’ve played with and when you look at the eyes of these guys they’re focused wanting to get up tempo and that’s helped them score on the fast break and I like the drive of this kid matine really a team player and the Thunder making a switch here dors checked in the Pacers also with the sub nearards checked in and so he hits both and here’s Gilis Alexander he’ll bring it up for Oklahoma [Applause] City pass to Caruso craigs the three-pointer such an improved part of SGA’s game love his passing skills pacers trail by three with it hallebertton passes to Hather back falls nice feed that time from Hallebertton and it’s 13 points here for Benedict Matan now Gilgus Alexander and he could not get that one to go out of contact and he’ll go to the line for two it goes on Tyresese Hallebertton so slippery in there gild Alexander makes great adjustments to get what he wants sticking to the shot the first free throw is good and the growth that Shay has shown over the years it has come on so fast with how he has improved that he’s adding to his game and he makes both free throws indiana’s gone two and three in the fourth quarter from long range good shooting so far hallebertton finds Matri on Caruso [Applause] caruso against Matan bucket is good matine’s got the game tied up here for Indiana what a motor matan can go all night and and he has what a performance here’s Dorsch burries it from three-point range dorsch got 21 in the game well he should be playing this game with an apron on because he’s right here’s Hallebert and it’s Jay Gilis Alexander with the rebound caruso with the ball picked up by Bright Caro to Wiggins to Gilus Alexander wiggins has a screen for Tor off target from outside pacers trail by [Applause] three here’s me that’s the top of it no good from outside gilg Alexander and foul on the shot so he’ll get a chance at the line it’s going to be on Obi- Toppen you’ll just Alexander does a good job of just staying aggressive and that just forces the defense to do something [Applause] shoot that’s good from Gilgis Alexander Hartinstein he’s checked in for Oklahoma City williams comes in for Aaron Wiggins turner’s checked in for Indiana pascal Seakum comes in for [Applause] Topin kill Alexander hits them both pacers trail by five outside Matin shoots over to Russo aan good atheran’s got nine points in the quarter he was sitting back a little bit there in the first half but feels like showtime now and he’s ready to put some major points up on the board turner with the steel and here’s the fast break seakum leading the way uses the glass to finish the lane you see the mobility on the break seakum goes after every easy scoring opportunity he sees williams passes to Hart [Applause] shot to wide open the Thunder with another miss and I thought that was going to fly looks good from here pass to Matan no that time in the shot that would have put them on top thunder have gotten into a pretty good groove going six and 10 here in the final quarter now [Music] Caruso here’s the screen from outside off the mark that’s a look you cannot pass up it’s off scope one you should miss and it’s Turner finishing it off hard to stop Turner in close as soon as he has prime positioning he is going for the slam pass to Dort gilg Alexander kicks to Caruso shot clock at six here’s Dors and it’s sent back by Turner and I would not test Turner miles has led and blocks and just has great timing parties jumps and Mark Dagno calls timeouts he knows every possession is critical now get [Music] ready georgia has checked in for Oklahoma City aaron Kneesmith has checked in for the Patriots and while we’ve got a moment let’s send it over to our terrific reporter David david hey guys during the last break here’s what Mark Dagel was telling his team now with the game in the balance he had some encouraging words for his team he said “This is what we wanted we thought if we kept it close we could pull it out now let’s go out there and do just that back to you guys thank you David here’s Gilg Alexander nails it from the high post gil Alexander’s got 40 points he is at his best and it matters most this game is theirs as long as he can keep this up caliber finds Nisha there’s the pick here’s Siaka it’s Ken Holren with the rebound homer’s got his seventh rebound of the game with that last one to the inside outside for Gildas Alexander the bucket is good he’ll have a chance for one more it goes on coaches love Gilas Alexander and the way that he’s working he’s refusing to give in against that kind of airtight defense first personal foul find the legs find the legs [Music] shane Gil Alexander shooting one that’s good from Gilas Alexander pacers trail by four outside to Seakov to Nemo and a miss there on the triple well the D really getting away with one there no one on him that’s going to be good nine out of 10 times and it’s Gilas Alexander missing seakum with it he’s picked up by Gilas Alexander [Applause] and they call the foul so he’s got the and one chance here to make it a three-point play and you know how hard Turner goes has the strength needed to work through the contact and finish [Music] [Applause] and the free throw no good for Oklahoma City they’ve got a pretty good rhythm going offensively shooting eight to 15 for the quarter dort passes to Homer outside Gilgish Alexander good on the triple gilish Alexander’s got 46 points sga doesn’t rely on the three to get his points but man it’s falling watch out he’s to Hellbert four on the clock wants to get it to turn and does takes the alley pass and dunks it down easy to understand why they go to Turner here they trust in his ability to come through dort with the ball connects again from distance and he’s letting it fly from long range to devastating effect and he’s now tied the franchise record for triples in a playoff game pass the Nemo here’s Nishman and they come right back with their own three-point opponents 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 here’s Homer there’s the three it’s rebounded by Tyrese Hallebertton hallebertton’s got rebound number five here tonight there are times when you want your guards to be aggressive and Hallebertton there with a great [Applause] take two shots [Applause] that’s good from Halbert [Applause] hallebertton hits them both yeah not the guy that you want to put at the line in these moments he’s not missing these now here’s Williams over Nmith williams can’t get it to go and Turner kicks to Hallebertton two minutes remaining in the game two minutes 158 left in the game turner with a screen on Williams near and once again off the mark by Indiana and Gilus Alexander’s got the ball here for the Oklahoma City Thunder they lead by one and he’s fouled pretty hard on that shot but he’s got the chance to pick up the points at the line [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] he drops the first one that will put them up by two [Applause] and he hits both free throws here so now it’s a three-point game you just have to understand that hours and hours of practice mean that clutch free throws become easy here’s Siaku two free throws coming up and they call the shooting foul here throughout his career Siaku gets himself to the foul line a lot adept at using that he’ll earn some free throws here [Applause] so the first one drops and that brings them within two seakum hits them [Applause] both 131 left to play here in the fourth here’s Gilis Alexander the shot no good excellent defense there from Hallebertton to take the lead and that one clearly a foul hits the whistle and two shots coming up [Applause] [Applause] that’s the first and that ties the game up and so making both free throws that’ll give them the lead here and how about the composure there at the line a ton of pressure on those free throws and he knocks them both in and it’s Gil Alexander missing and Indiana shooting in the fourth has been tremendous 59% pass to Sakum from seven good that is world class love seeing that there a huge possession and he nets it and Mark Dagenho calls timeout here the magnitude at this juncture in the game clearly warranting a timeout [Applause] from deep he’ll just have yet another bucket think about the night he’s had that score now ties him for the single game playoff tie for this team he has been nothing short of amazing tonight right a legendary playoff performance from him and so it’s Rick Carile here calling timeout and he knows there’s no room for mistakes and wants everyone on the same [Applause] page [Music] here’s Seakum over Homegrren it’s rebounded by Hartinstein homegrren up top covered by Seakum the pass to Hartin and here’s the fast break seakum leading the way money rockum sakum seakum that’s a big time play and Mark Dagno calls timeout here coach clearly feeling the necessity to regroup with so much at stake here and talking about the approach now what are they looking at big chance here to tie with a bucket they just need a solid play right now and coach going through his index cards to find one to get something going 29 seconds left in the fourth quarter and another one fouls and he’s on a tear offensively lighting up the scoreboard with a purpose and how about this he now holds the team’s single game record for postseason scoring [Applause] the free throw off from Gilgus Alexander allebertton outside there’s 10 seconds left to play in the final quarter six to shoot here’s Siaka oh missed it foul again there rather not have it cost your team [Applause] [Applause] and the first of two no [Applause] good no good at the strike this time second misses also and regulation now complete we will go to overtime and for 2K Sports we’ll be back here at Paycom well four quarters weren’t enough to decide this ball game sit back and enjoy as we move on to overtime the four and the five the lengthy pair of Homegrren and Hartenstein gilgis Alexander runs things with G to his side and it’s Williams at the three turner looking around as Denise Smith is looking for Shiak and Pard hallebertton for three gets the three-pointer to fall hallebertton’s got 45 points coming into the league scouts had some uncertainty about Hallebertton’s jumper mostly because of the way it looks to push shot out front but he’s more than capable as a shooter and sometimes as a point guard you got to take things into your own hand yeah right it’s okay to be selfish when you have a chance well if he’s calling his own number there’s a reason for it they respect the decision making from him out there burton outside pocket six indiana needs to get a shot and the rejection by Hendren here’s Dort and the layup’s good off the glass dor’s got 26 dort can be streaky but man when he gets in a rhythm they’re going to start to find him hallebertton passes to Nemo turner for three gil Alexander pulls it in and you could tell he thought that triple was going to fall it’s a nice passing by Oklahoma City williams shot is off for Indiana they’ve gone one and three from the four since the start of Smith yes and the foul that one on Gilis Alen and the combination of his quickness and soft touch around the rim really allows him to pull off shots like that a lot of players don’t have the reverse in their arsenal [Music] [Applause] and Gilis Alexander’s got the ball here for the Oklahoma City Thunder outside to Hartenstein now here’s Holmes just five to shoot williams outside burries the long range jumper he’s got 25 man I’ll tell you what the pressure is cranked up who better to call than this guy and Rick Cornwall decides to call timeout and clearly an important junction he’s going to have some choice words with his [Applause] team and you know what to do just under 2 and 1/2 minutes passed here in this overtime kimhard shot is good that play never gets old the pick and roll will still be an offensive staple 100 years from now trust me [Applause] homer sets the screen for Gilas Alexander pascal Seakum grabs the miss seakum’s got rebound number 10 with that last Denise Smith and here’s Albert takes the three sinks the three-pointer hallebertton’s got 48 and Hallebertton looks absolutely unfazed by the moment gilgame against good that’s another bucket you see how easily he’s getting buckets to be this hot must be a heck of a feeling no doubt and get this he’s now tied for the third most points in a playoff game ever alongside Donovan Mitchell who got 57 in the bubble back in 2020 [Music] [Applause] yeah good play on the front end to finish despite getting hacked there and big on the back end to hit the free throw seakum inside working on home ties again and Seakum with the nice bucket inside seakum’s got 23 points oh huge basket by Siakman we’ve seen this before in the final and it’s sent back by [Applause] Turner now here’s N alexander cover and the foul called on Pascal Siaka that’ll be his second foul of the game oh great defense they anticipated the play and got there first trailing by three outside Kilis [Applause] Alexander the rebound by Hallebertton indiana’s gotten six points by way of the three-point shot in overtime they’re two of four on their attempts from G and delivering in the clutch with zero fear running the ball it matters most real good and that tacks another big point onto the lead great and one play showing us now a little bit of that killer instinct just Alexander against Alberta it falls and now they trail by just [Applause] four outside pass to Siak lead away it’s rebounded by Oklahoma City here’s Dort outside for Gilis Alexander connects again and that bucket looks as wide as the Pacific Ocean he just can’t miss a phenomenal offensive exhibition now he is tied the alltime story mark for points in the playoff game and the great Michael Jordan may stand alone but not in this category he’s got some cover shot clock at six here’s And that’ll be two free throws coming up officials on the call with the foul and so he’s picked up his final fit for the rest of this game and luckily they’ve got terrific at that position if there’s one spot on the floor where they can afford to lose somebody that would probably be it [Applause] and he cannot get the first one to drop tough one to miss [Applause] he’s able to hit the second one and that will put them up by two and Mark Dagno calls timeout here pivotal moment in this game he’s not taking any chances he’ll call time what do you think we’re going to see here big chance here to tie it with a bucket they just need a solid play right now and coach going through his index cards to find one to get something going [Applause] gilas Alexander with it to tie it up again what an avalanche and that bucket if you can believe it sets a new alltime record for points in a playoff game craig the way he came out tonight you can feel the level of his focus he put his team on his back and has delivered an incredible offensive show and it was way back in 1986 that Michael Jordan set the record of 63 points and when you surpass the greatest of all time you’ve done something special [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and so we are tied again at the end of overtime now we’re headed to overtime number two and for 2K and with another overtime in front of us the question is who will blink first nobody wants to give in a lot of pride now on the line here we go and play stops whistling what looks to be an illegal swing nice shot stings there hurts so much more to turn the ball over especially with how tight the game is and Indiana shooting so far very efficient all around about [Applause] 55% allebertton outside shoots over Gilbert and the Pacers can’t get it to go here’s Williams lays it up and despite of the excellent defense at bat Williams has got 27 again it’s Jaylen Williams he is in a groove playing with confidence just keep finding him he’s the best ammo outside for three caruso grabs the miss not quite enough defense that time around just lucky he was off they get it back outside for Gilas Alexander six on the shot clock yet again pascal Seakum grabs the miss seakum’s got rebound number 12 here already in the game a nice shot by N Smith and Seakum showing off his vision with the nice pass oklahoma City trailer outside Williams back to Gil Alexander shoots and it’s good off the back of the rim and in nice read as usual by Gilas Alexander [Music] and here is [Applause] Mismo and Rick Corw decides to call timeout he’s not taking any chances and wants to huddle him up right away here they come fans it’s your one and [Applause] [Applause] only [Applause] Here’s Lee Smith it falls for the sixth time in seven tries this contest that’s 86% how about the inbound pass there easy bucket here’s Gilgus Alexander finds the bottom of the bucket from 13 ft out and the jump shot has been a dimension of this game where they’ve had it outside that’s the Nemo against Hallebert here’s Seakum and again it’s Indiana well at that mid-range Seakum has a nice face up game outside dort back to Gilus Alexander oklahoma City moving it around and again for three and talk about stepping up he’s having a playoff game these fans will never forget that last three means he’s got the most threes in a single playoff game in franchise history smith can’t get it to go you know what though sometimes you can be too open i think you may have surprised him and that’s why he missed and foul on the shot so he’ll get a chance at the line [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] and that hurts as he doesn’t get the first one to fall trying to focus now on the second [Applause] That’s going one or two from the line and that makes it a three-point lead and so here is Indiana now [Applause] there’s right there you can see the impact of L so tough to defend once he gets to the spot [Applause] [Applause] red on the first and that brings them within two [Applause] hits them both oklahoma City shooting has been terrific 54% on the game here’s Gilis Alexander it’s rebounded by Indiana seakum outside at the top of the key hallebertton nice move pass to Turner seakum [Applause] outside shoots over Caruso it’s good and this is how deadly Seakum can be when he’s cooking like this you just feed him and get out of the way and it’s Oklahoma’s finish ball and you hear this crowd they know he just set the three-point single game playoff record well they’ve seen lots of stars over the years but this guy he has the most threes in a single game for their team [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] gilg’s Alexander again here’s the net and a lot of contact on that one so he’ll shoot two here this is [Applause] all first free throw is good and that will put them up by two [Applause] and so he drops them both it’s a three-point game here’s Gilas [Applause] Alexander going inside count it and that shot brings them to within just one this Alexander going to celebrate that one you can probably expect to see him slow it down huh yeah [Applause] milaka and there’s a foul on Alex Caruso that’s his third foul so far from the situation in effect so we’ll head to the line for two [Applause] he hits the first one and that will put them up by two [Applause] so he goes two for two at the line and it’s a three-point game well important there to have the three-point lead because only A3 can tie it up now and Mark Deno calls timeout here this is a huge moment folks in this game and he wants to be prepared turning here to Orlando what guys come to your mind and if you can get a three shoot it otherwise get the quick two and a five don’t force something up you got to be smart here from deep Kilis Alexander gets rebounded by Indiana with an intentional foul there stops the clock you have to foul but I’m sure you would like to file someone different so the first one drops and that gives them a four-point cushion [Applause] so he gets them both and it’s a five-point game and just like that this game is a two-possession affair no time to waste on this possession time is not on their side right now they’re aware and it’s still a rare sight to see rebound numbers like the one he’s had tonight well this kind of effort will energize the team and get you going just gobbling up every board [Applause] [Applause] he drops the first one and that increases their lead to six [Applause] second one is good getting both at the line and it’s a seven-point game and they’ve been a different team here in overtime they they just seem to have lost their energy nailed from three-point land so a close game sees Indiana take this one and this win puts them squarely in the driver’s seat in this series up now break two zip with all the momentum on their side i mean [Music] and it’s Turner in at the pivot spot manning the middle for the Thunder the four and the five the lengthy pair of Homegrren and Hartenshot Gilg Alexander runs things with Gord to his side and it’s Williams at the small forward position and a wide open look for Gilas Alexander and it’s good assisting in the play was Williams SGA from way out there knocking down the [Applause] three [Music] [Applause] outside back to Hbert shoots over Gilus gets some rim on the way in and the bucket’s good and he’s not going to miss many of those especially that wide open no he’s automatic from the mid-range and the defense knows that it’s a mistake to give up a shot like that goes up at the stripe it’s rebounded by N Smith pass to [Applause] Nemo and the call on the shot sends him to the line and really the defense there to prevent the layup and that’s exactly what you need to do the Bers free throws of the game [Applause] [Applause] and the first one drops [Applause] [Applause] and both free throws good for Nemhar and Gilis Alexander’s got the ball here for Oklahoma City to bounce back from Wednesday’s loss yeah you can see they were pressing in that one and the shooting percentages dipped because of it pal anytime you’re having trouble getting over that 40% field goal mark it’s probably not going to be your night or the three sinks the triple gil Alexander’s got a pair of threes now in the first quarter for Oklahoma City and here are the bases now hallebertton [Applause] pass and in the first a little over a minute and a half in fires the three it’s rebounded by Oklahoma City and here is Dort pass to Gilis Alexander goes to the reverse layup and taps it in gilas Alexander’s got eight points about the agility of Shay Gilas Alexander able to get around that inside contact [Applause] hallebertton feeling it out of him that’s his second shot and his second basket he’s two for two and giving up some inches inside but makes up for it with an aggressive style yeah the big man not going to slow him down from getting that deuce hartinstein against Turner williams outside that one doesn’t drop and so it’s Turner with it he brings it up for the Pacers trailing by two allebertton passes to Turner noward as Denise Smith six to [Applause] shoot again seakum and he’s good on the three ball seakum that’s a developing area so don’t give him a reason to shoot another outside Williams and oh boy a lot of contact there but he gets the call and will shoot two i tell you what he earned his money on that foul but Thunder shooting their first foul shots of the night [Applause] [Music] here taking two shots 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 he hits both from the strike here’s [Applause] Hallebertton outside Turner pass to [Applause] Nehar gil Alexander again to Hallebertton the shot by Turner no good oklahoma City has gone two or four from beyond the arc to start the game homegrren the pass to Harden back to Homegrren oh good on the triple and on an open look like that he’s very good at making those deep coverage nothing that time he’s 0 for two the Thunder with the lead a drop by banked in off the glass oh the long strides of home on display this is why you can’t give him the lane and Rick Carile decides to call timeout or he’s made the decision he wants to huddle up with his guys and on the screen now is the 2K leaderboard with a rundown of this postseason’s assist leaders tyrese Hallebertton on top and of course Shay Gilas Alexander i think these two guys are having a little personal competition here in the playoffs to see who will finish with the most assists and so here is Indiana it’s a three-point game hallebertton outside a three-pointer is right on target hallebertton’s got seven points boy Hallebertton consistent with that shot for Oklahoma City they’ve gone 50% from the field to this point four of eight hardenstein passes to Dort and they wasted no time getting those three points down nice answers back there love to see the competitor both teams finding ways to the three-point line and trying to take advantage from distance it’s deflected it’s stolen by Gil Alexander over in the corner [Applause] Dort on the left block neard grabs the board you know they don’t score on that shot but they’re going to be happy with those kinds of possessions turner finds Seakkum green by Seakum no problems knocking that one down he has five well Seakum playing unselfish and a better option just to drop that one off oklahoma City’s gone 306 50% from deep so far tonight here’s Gilas Alexander and a lot of contact on that one so he’ll shoot two here it’s going to be on Siaka for Oklahoma City then on gone two for two in the game at the [Applause] line taking two shots [Applause] first one falls for and money from the stripe sga could close his eyes and knock that down gilis 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 seakum passes to Hallebertton turner with a screen on Gilis Alexander hallebertton no good his touch from mid-range that’s almost always good that won’t shake his confidence pass to Williams shoots over Near and a great move by Williams yeah as a shooter Williams is fairly flexible pacers trail by four seakum [Music] outside here’s Helbert gets rebounded by Oklahoma City and I was sure that was money on that one but everyone is afforded an easy miss or two yeah that happens important thing is for players just don’t beat yourself up and make a miss like that cost you another play for Indiana they’ve gotten five of 10 shots to drop in this game so far at the 50% mark finds [Applause] Hallebertton count it from 12 hellbertton’s got nine points and he is really in a zone right now playing and scoring with confidence pass to Hartinstein back to Gildas Alexander played in with a nice touch off the glass 12 points for him flat out taking the game over and there’s no way he’s going to give it up outside [Applause] turner here’s Misman he claims that one off the back iron and down it falls sweet pass from Turner he’s really been working on his ability to pass the ball gil Alexander looking around that one good for two and the Thunder lead by four and boy he’s really in a groove dominant performance last game same thing this time around seems to be nobody standing in his way no roadblocks for him to get to his spot capitalize and continue to be aggressive burton against Gil Alexander here’s a three off the mark the Thunder lead by four dort kicks to Kilis Alexander driving to the basket it falls for the sixth time in seven tries this contest that’s 86% this is what Gilas Alexander does he attacks you relentlessly [Applause] here’s Nemhard five points in the game and it’s Hallebertton missing and they have a narrow edge here in rebounding early on and you wonder what kind of a role that’s going to play moving forward the shots good from Gilgus Alexander only one miss in his first eight attempts coming out of the gate strong and Rick Carile decides to call timeout he’s ready to talk things through with the team [Applause] [Applause] for the Thunder williams has checked in for Harden aaron Wiggins comes in for Jed Homegrren and it’s Alex Caruso in for Dorch so an entirely new group in now for Indiana obie Toppins checked in for Turner benedict Mathering comes in for Nmith shepard’s checked in for Andrew Nehon and it’s TJ McConnell in for Hallebertton [Applause] and here are the Pacers now trailing here by eight we’re topping a big player that can see over the top of guys that time a good decision and Gilis Alexander’s got the ball here for the Thunder the 11footer and it goes out of bounds the last touch by Tohen and Oklahoma City making a change here joe’s checked in the Pacers making a change [Applause] here and here now the Thunder six-point lead left side Williams five to shoot good and the story here Kevin early on is how well they shot the basketball razers have gone eight of 15 from the field shooting above 50% here tonight pass to Wiggins with the rebound they’ve been beating them to a lot of those loose balls and rebounds here to start a chance to extend the lead to double digits but it’s no [Applause] good caruso against Toen Reon Williams there’s McConnell and off the front iron and in it goes punch counter punch impressive offensive production early on who’s going to miss first every time one team scores the other team right back at you here’s Williams 11 ft out and he hits it williams has got six points you can’t just stop when there’s a pick 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 here’s Seakum takes the 12-footer and hits he has five creating some space in the twoman game seakum read that one right outside Williams and the rebound goes to the Pacers teammates right now covering up for the type of off performance he’s having in terms of scoring this has not been his best night here’s Siaka and contact on the shot so he’ll be shooting free throws here most is going to bring some intensity inside he’s embracing the chance to be foul now let’s take a moment to get your guys take on the scoring so far for the Thunder and guys I love the movement doing a great job of just getting the ball on a string creating some opportunities well a lot of the players are doing a good job as well of scanning the interior part of the paint all those inside looks those are paying off shay Gilish Alexander checked in for Williams allebertton’s checked in for the Pacers and he can’t hit the second and Pascal Seakum has really worked on his game over the years barely scored as a rookie and worked himself into an allNBA selection 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 it’s just very solid offense and a wide open look for Hallebertton drills the three-pointer hallebertton’s got 12 this is not a player who likes to be trailing in any game that lights a fire williams a screen on McConnell it’s stolen by Matan 3 seconds separate the shot clock and game clock down low here’s Hallebert and he gets the whistle two free throws coming up can’t be overzealous with Hallebert and when you are he embraces that you got the whistle he’s getting his first free throw attempt of the night right now [Applause] that’s good from Hallebertton and Hallebertton a guy you just continue to see grow game by game an exceptional talent and a great mind and Indiana making a change here lions checked in he hits one and misses one each at the line so valuable to this team hallebert gives them whatever they need when they need it this guy is both patient and prolific gil Alexander with it williams a screen on McConnell and here’s Gilis Alexander outside shade Gilis Alexander guys has been on display for the Oklahoma City Thunder going on an absolute rampage and it’s time for more of the NBA Finals on 2K Sports what a time of year and for the Thunder guys what stands out to you so far well the coaches preach ball movement and we saw exactly why in that first quarter well everybody just feeling the energy of the basketball as they moved it around and lots of hands were touching it here’s McConnell on the court for Indiana he’ll be topping out there with Thomas Bryant then there’s Benedict Mattherin then it’s Hallebertton and it’s McConnell in at the wide now here is Hallebertton covered by Joe it’s good and the Thunder lead is cut down to just one on the basket from Hallebertton uh defense doing their best to put Hallebertton off balance but he stays flexible kind of warps around the defense and adjusts to the contact gilg Alexander against McConnell and Gilis Alexander the bucket on the assist by Williams and they keep hammering away at him inside forcing the ball into the paint hallebertton pitch to Thompson over in the corner allebertton outside pocket six and another one in the scoring column for him he’s seven of 10 from the field hallebertton piling up points he can thank his impressive work ethic for that up top Gilas Alexander he’s covered by McConnell and yes it’s good d has been just completely helpless and turned around he’s so dangerous when he’s in this kind of rhythm allebertton for three misses fourth time against seven makes in this game well after getting off to a great start hitting those first two shots he’s definitely regressed a little bit in this quarter pacers trail by three here’s Matan good and McConnell gets the assist matan’s got his first basket of the night and using that body to his advantage Matan will learn to control his strength as he grows in the league the shot’s good from Gildas [Applause] indiana’s gotten fewer than half of their three-pointers to go down tonight they are four for nine pass to Hallebertton bryant [Applause] outside hallebertton kicks to Bryant the shot goes down and gets this game back to even bryant’s got himself going with the triple his first basket of the game here’s Gilis Alexander and Gilas Alexander throws it down gilas Alexander has blossomed into this forceful guard just look at this [Applause] performance for those of you just joining us in the second quarter with about 3 minutes gone by Hallebertton and the Pacers tag on two more there’s so much about Hallebertton that shows that he plays well beyond his years just Alexander and he’s open it’s rebounded by Bryant the defense better tighten up on the mid-range they’re much much tighter you expect him to make every single one of those oklahoma City has gone three of seven tonight from three-point territory basket is good he’ll get a chance for one more at the line they are attacking the rim and getting great results and he’s got his first chance at the line here martinstein’s checked in for the Thunder dort comes in for Isaiah Joe indiana also making some changes miles Turner he’s checked in for Thomas Bryce and Andrew Nehard’s subbed in for TJ [Music] McConnell the free throw drops for Caruso closing in on four minutes played here in the second quarter pass the [Applause] topping now here’s Turner to the middle and stolen by Caruso and now a fast break for the Thunder and the dunk by Hardenstein that’s a stomach punch guys turn it over and give him a free run to the Oh you’re so right no question who has the momentum now execution with pace that’s a bad turnover that simply was telegraphed and this is an advantage of having size in the back court caliber using that length to cause trouble two shots take a break take a break two shots and he knocks down the first [Applause] [Applause] one calibbertton hits them both the Thunder leading by three now gilis Alexander he’s got 26 wiggins a screen on Hallebertton it’s tipped toppin with the steel and here we go hallebertton heading to the hoop lays it in off the breakaway hallebertton’s got 23 just a great job of Hallebertton finding his way to

rewarded with some [Applause] points turner against Hartinstein pass to Caruso shot clock at five wiggins a screen on Matarin shot to stop the run caruso no good pacers leading by three turner the

good on the three-point shot dor’s got it all tied up now for the Thunder you size up the D sometimes you take a little bit of an extra count and D did it that time remard finds Hallebertton trying to come right back with a three of his own it’s no good now here’s Gas Alexander 26 points for him solid shot from the distance of the lap 14 ft gil Alexander’s got 28 boy has he put his foot on the pedal here this quarter he’s doing a terrific job in terms of leading their offense turner with the screen on Gilus Alexander hallebertton for three cans it from downtown 28 points for him it’s first triple of the second quarter third of the game and Mark Dagnel calls timeout he wants a minute here to get things straightened out with this team for the Thunder he’s checked in for Wiggins and Jaylen Williams is subbed in for Gilg Alexander then for the Pacers Pascal Seakum comes in for Topin and Aaron E smith subbed in for Benedict Mathan [Applause] oklahoma City’s gone one of two on three-pointers here in the second quarter so far caruso kicks to Dort three-pointer the rebound by Turner turner’s got his fifth rebound right now in the game here’s Nemoard five points in the game seakum outside to Hallebertton over Caruso hallebertton no good oklahoma City trailing hartenstein passes to Caruso here’s Homegr fires from deep dort misses and close to making the defense pay for the lack coverage that time here’s Siaka and they call the foul so a chance at the line for one more coming up and one area where they’ve improved here in the second quarter is getting the ball in the paint that inside scoring has gotten much stronger tj McConnell he’s checked in for Indiana [Applause] and that one misses trailing by three williams inside he’s covered by McConnell and he drops in the layup off the glass williams has got eight points just takes advantage of the deep in a way that very few players playing today can do siakum deciding where to go with it turner with a screen for Saka knocked away williams with the steal here’s Homegrown down in the low post it goes homer’s got his second bucket of the game to go and looking to get stronger home fights through the bump tons of time for him to grow into that ring got a piece of it here’s Siaka indiana again turning it over these players can flat out shoot the rock the 2K leaderboard shows us the top three-point shooters in the playoffs well you look at Nesmith second in the league extremely accurate from beyond the arc he He is having so much success from beyond the three-point line some guys just thrive on this kind of pressure the Thunder with the lead and here is Williams he’s got eight pass to Homegrren outside williams this one for three nhard grabs the board indiana’s gone past the three-point line for 13 of their shots six of 13 oklahoma City’s gotten into trouble with the three ball in the second quarter only hitting one of five attempts dort kicks to Caruso hardenstein with a screen on McConnell and that one’s good caruso and I like the fact that he really was unfaced by that scoreless first quarter and now you can see him getting into a limit [Applause] to the inside here’s Nemo the dunk and the foul a powerhouse move and he’s got a chance for one more at the line that one on Williams this will be his third free throw shot of the game isaiah Joe he’s judging for the Thunder 1 [Applause] [Applause] 2 and so it’s Williams who brings it up for the Thunder to Homer joe in the corner outside Dort and again Oklahoma City with the triple and that’s his second in this quarter guys he’s made three so far this game and is showing no signs of slowing down [Applause] kneesmith with the ball williams picks him up and the rejection by Homer shots good by Turner you know he’s had better starts obviously but he’s shaking it off here in the second pass to Hartenstein outside Dortenstein with the screen for Dort and the Thunder another three bottom line you need shooters on your team who can space the floor well there’s no doubt he’s a legitimate threat from downtown and he’s demonstrating that in this game he’s red finds McConnell turner with the screen just fine on the clock that’s good and it’s McConnell with the assist mcconnell’s got three assists tonight well we’ve seen that movie a few times haven’t we an easy bucket in the paint outside Dort there’s 42 seconds left in the second quarter [Applause] hardenstein passes to Homer over Seakkum homerren can’t hit pacers trail by three pass Denise Smith indiana moving it [Applause] around it’s Neard on the wing defended by Dors he gets it in there nearard’s got five points now in the quarter joe with it still without a basket holren can’t [Applause] hit shade Gilus Alexander guys has been on display for the Oklahoma City Thunder he got into double digits for the quarter with 10 points total and we’ll be right back after this they’re not showing enough fight defensively take some pride in getting some stops this is when your leader has to step in and say something yeah tough to beat a team that’s shooting double nickels from the field [Applause] and glad to have you with us as we get going here in game two you know Shane Gilis Alexander has been exceptional here tonight guys well we’ll find out if they were able to find an answer for him over the break he was scoring with ease in that first half yeah just way too easy out there and I’m sure coach is going to make that a priority at halftime [Applause] indiana trailing here the four and the five the lengthy pair of Homegrren and Hartinstein gilis Alexander runs things with Dort to his side and it’s Williams at the three the small forward that’s the lineup out there for the Thunder for the lead pass to Nemar that falls nice feed that time from Hallebertton neard’s got 13 nice find by Hallebertton just a great feel for the game harden shine with it here’s George and right away they match it with a three-pointer of their own and the Thunder lead by one now inside and blocked the ball with his palm what a defensive play for three homer pascal Seakum grabs the [Applause] miss nice defense from George that’s one for their first four to start the second half williams working [Applause] around buries it down low he’s got 10 third quarter of basketball we’re about a minute and a half in here’s Nehard he’s got [Applause] 13 and two free throws coming up unable to get that one to go with all the content yeah easy call he is three for three from the free throw line taking two shots [Applause] first free throw is good [Applause] and that one goes in two from the line that time oklahoma City has gone one of two from beyond the arc since coming out of the [Applause] break williams with a clean look and he gets it to go hitting off the back of the rim williams has got four this quarter okay good game plan to start the second half three of four so far from the field against Alex burton outside shot clock at six shoots the three and once again off the mark by Indiana oklahoma City leading by three gildas Alexander passes to Hartenstein and it’s sent back by Turner and here we go fast break hallebertton’s got it lays it up off the glass hallebertton’s got 30 an excellent awareness and effort hallebertton getting involved and finishing that time on the break gilas Alexander with it now guarded by Shiakum offensive rebound and he uses the glass on the layup gilis Alexander’s got 30 down the stretch he’s been flat out awesome he helped them get the lead and now he’s making sure they keep it and Rick Corw decides to call timeout wants to talk some things over might be seeing some things to adjust here are the NBA’s top scorers during this postseason as shown on the 2K leaderboard shade Gilis Alexander is second and he’s taken off on a tremendous scoring streak at the perfect time i mean obviously he’s established himself as a premier playoff performer kneesmith with the ball he’s against Williams siaka kicks to Hallebertton wants to get it to Turner and does and it’s crucial that Turner remains assertive like this because it’s how he’s going to get these calls it’s his first trip to the line miles turn two [Applause] shots and he makes the first 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 [Applause] Packers he doesn’t get the second one for Oklahoma City they’ve gone 4-7 to get things started here in the second half wasted no time on that one george got a pair of threes now here in the third for the Thunder the size and skill of Gorge is pretty unique really effective at any [Applause] position in the third quarter just over 3 and 1/2 minutes on the clock here’s Memo to N Smith hits it from three-point range smith n Smith has got five and you’re asking for more trouble than you can handle if you’re going to let him just roam free from beyond the ark homegrren kicks to Gilg [Applause] Alexander from outside the arc seakum pulls it in seakum’s got his fourth rebound with that last one here tonight he had six points from long range in the first half but nothing’s fallen here since [Applause] lays up the pick for the tie it counts and the foul one on Homegrren well an assertive Seakum is an effective seak this will be his fourth shot at the line in this one seak shot and that drops so they now lead by one and here’s Gilgis Alexander he’ll bring it up for Oklahoma City outside Williams tipped away turner with the steal to the paint here’s Seiakum and Seyakum throws it down what a throw down seakum making sure no one gets in his way thunder have gone five of nine on field goal attempt since halftime and the foul on Miles Turner that’ll be his second foul of the game first team [Applause] [Music] Gilas Alexander against Hallebertton his shooting this quarter has to be a huge concern especially when they’re behind like this can he find a rhythm seakum outside turner with a screen on Hardenstein they get the rebound pass Denise Smith neard with it out of bounds oklahoma City takes possession and that’s just carelessness there i mean you have got to have your head on the game the Thunder making a switch here caruso’s checked in and Indiana with a change here too benedict Matan he’s checked in for Smith and Hartstein passes to Caruso and here is Dort oklahoma City moving it around and that time also a miss shot and got to like what they’ve been doing down low in the post shooting foul as the whistle blows he’ll shoot two free throws and they didn’t shoot it very well from behind in the first half but they’ve gotten much better since halftime and it’s helped them to secure the lead what do you guys think so far about the offensive approach for the Pacers you love how they’ve lived in the paint making the defense just consistently have to collapse and still finding ways to convert well the three-point shot has been absolutely huge for them this entire game and let’s be honest you have to knock down threes to win games these days the first one falls and a good job bringing that free throw percentage up here in the second half doing a great job at the line [Applause] and both free throws good for Nehar and he’s given them a good contribution at the line tonight getting there a lot and delivering on his opportunities and Mark Dagno calls timeout this will give him a chance to discuss some potential [Applause] [Music] [Applause] alterations [Applause] stay away [Applause] now here’s Dort defense is right there and here’s Kilis Alexander outside it’s rebounded by Indiana near’s got rebound number five here for tonight launches it for Thunder pull it in not sure how he finds himself in so much space there he’s kicking himself for whiffing a bit on that one outside Gilgish Alexander six on the shot clock here’s the floater misses and the dry spell continues all the energy is on the other side right now and every miss just makes it worse well the other team is scorching hot and they come down on this end you can’t find a way to get the embers going siakum kicks to Hallebertton gets to the rim for two with the D all over him hallebertton’s got the lead up to seven now for Indiana and Mark Dagno calls timeout wants to regroup and go over the strategy tyrese Hallebertton with a strong contribution so far in this one they got to be using this timeout to think about a personnel change or a game plan change to try to slow him down [Applause] hardenstein passes to Gilgus Alexander lays it in without an inch of room around him gilas Alexander’s got 32 points in the game pacers leading by five pass to Nemo on the wing mattherin defended by Caruso and the foul on Miles Turn and that’ll be his third foul so far [Applause] foul the Thunder have gone six of 14 since halftime a little cold from the field [Applause] dort left side pass to Caruso dort with a screen for Caruso the three-pointer no good indiana’s gone a less than productive two of six from three-point land in the second half memar the pass to Matan [Applause] caruso grabs the miss there’s a little bit of pressure on him but not enough to cause him to miss a shot that’s in that close seakum against Williams dort misses and so it’s Turner with it he brings it up for the Pacers it’s a five-point game pass to Matan now here is Siako hallebertton for three and the three ball is good hallebertton’s got seven now in this quarter no hesitation from Tyrese Hallebertton he’s a confident guy the Thunder shooting a troubling 38% in the third not the finest work of this offense and there is a whistle that goes on Andrew Nehar that is his first foul of the game for the Thunder williams comes in for Isaiah Hartenstein and Aaron Wiggins is subbed in for Gil Alexander indiana also making some changes topin comes in for Turner and it’s TJ McConnell in for Hallebertton here’s Williams 12 points for him caruso a screen on Maverin here’s Williams whistle blows bucket is good he’ll have a chance at the line to make it a three-point play and Jaylen Williams had a plan there to outwork the defense he knows you got to bring it to the paint the Thunder shooting their sixth attempt the tyranny strike in the game isaiah Joe he’s judging for Dorch and a change for the Pacers ryan’s check in william shooting one pacers leading by five mcconnell kicks to Seattle to Maverin whistle blows basket is good so a chance here for a three-point play a skillful move there by Matine against the contact somehow finding a way to get the shot to fall first trip to the free throw line for him tonight [Music] [Applause] free throw good matin and one difference this have is that when they get to the line they’re converting [Applause] now here’s Williams 15 points in the game over to it and a kind roll that time off the rim as that one falls williams has got 17 and since halftime he has been a different player pass to Matan seakum outside ryan with a screen for Seiakum off target with his three but if he wants to make the defense work he’s got to start knocking down the threes only one so far in this game for him and none since halftime and not being as aggressive from the three-point line anymore that they had a lot more attempts in that first half to the middle here’s rebounded by Oklahoma City williams has got four rebounds in this game pass to Williams lets it go from deep it’s rebounded by [Applause] Indiana pass it to [Applause] Siako we’ve got 123 left in the third quarter bryant with it covered by Joe and they double up Bryant and the officials calling for a 3second violation thunder trailing by four outside Williams it’s stolen by Matan topin with it now defended by Wiggins seakum can’t hit from in close oklahoma City shooting an outstanding 53% for the game and there’s the foul on the shot he’ll go to the line for two thunder shooting their seventh and eighth free throw attempts for the game right here william take a break take a break two shots he’s off on the first [Applause] and he’s good on the second and so it’s McConnell with it they’ll bring it up for Indiana three-point lead pass to Tophen bryant against Williams and a wide open look for Matan good and the assist goes to Bryant eight points here for Benedict Matan williams against Toppen shots good by Williams and there’s a pattern starting to take shape here they’re working it inside and getting good shots from close [Applause] range mcconnell scanning the floor pocket six and stolen by Wiggins here’s Williams and again it’s Oklahoma City three quarters a play in a close game here it’s the Pacers they lead by two and when we return we’ll get the fourth and let’s go back to a terrific pass that we’re calling tonight our State Farm assist of the game and the definition of teamwork right there guys i mean what great communication between them and what a beautiful feat well coaches talk about it all the time but to be able to play with that kind of feel nice play collaborating improvising and organic three tense quarters behind us one more to go thanks for being with us as we begin the fourth on the court right now for the bases they’ve got Bryant benedict Mathan is out there with Tohen that’s TJ McConnell and it’s Hallebertton in at the shooting guard pass to Joe to take the lead it’s good from long range joe’s got his first three points of the game on the finishing end with the catch and shoot joe is dead now Hbert outside trying to answer back but that three is off the mark the Thunder with the lead joe with it [Applause] right side Gilgish Alexander wiggins passes to Gildish Alexander the kick out to Williams oh good on the three and they had some boxed coverage that turned into no coverage williams with the steal here’s the break to the big dunk at the end of the break got to take care of the ball they’ll punish you if you’re that careless that’s right and that’s severe punishment right there how about the sequence in its entirety momentum swing and you love the effort here bryant with a screen on Caruso the shots good from Hallebertton running the pick and roll with just tremendous patience and poise hallebertton reading the defense so well he exploited that opening outside gil Alexander takes it off the glass gil Alexander’s got 34 gil just Alexander such a tough cover especially at his side and here’s Murbert outside good and McConnell gets the assist mcconnell’s got six assists in the game and great intensity here down the stretch he’s not one to shrink in the moment take a look at it locked in right now in this moment wants the ball in his hands and feels real comfortable with the shot he’s taking here’s Wiggins plays it up and paints it in and the Thunder lead by two that’s an excellent play call to free him up from the defense well taking advantage of that opportunity it does not get any more high percentage than that mcconnell finds Toppin quarter keeps moving right along so far time on the clock mer and foul on the shot he’ll shoot two from the free throw line and one of the problems in the first half that shoddy work at the free throw line they needed to fix that and they’ve been much improved since the break and a moment now to quickly take a look at the offensive approach for the Thunder credit them for not settling i mean they’ve been in attack mode off the dribble all game long and thus far it’s paying off well if we add another thing to it it’s about the urgency they’ve played with when you look at the eyes of these guys they’re focused wanting to get up tempo and that’s helped them score on the fast break and I like the drive of this kid matine really a team player and the Thunder making a switch here dors checked in the Pacers also with a sub near checked in and so he hits both and here’s Gilgis Alexander he’ll bring it up for Oklahoma City [Applause] pass to Garuso crings the three-pointer such an improved part of SGA’s game love his passing skills paces trail by three robin with it hallebertton passes to Hather that balls nice feed that time from Hallebertton and it’s 13 points here for Benedict Matan now Gil just Alexander and he could not get that one to go out of contact and he’ll go to the line for two it goes on Tyrese Hallebertton so slippery in there gildas Alexander makes great adjustments to get what he wants alex shot first free throw is good and the growth that Shay has shown over the years it has come on so fast with how he has improved that he’s adding to his game and he makes both free throws indiana’s gone two in the fourth quarter from long range good shooting so far hallebertton finds Matie brian a screen on Caruso caruso against Matan bucket is good matine’s got the game tied up here for Indiana what a motor matan can go all night and and he has what a performance here’s George burries it from three-point range george got 21 in the game well he should be playing this game with an apron on because he’s right there’s Hallebertton and it’s J gilas Alexander with the rebound caruso with the ball picked up by Bright caruso hits to Wiggins back to Gilas Alexander wiggins has a screen for Dory off target from outside aces trail by [Applause] three here’s Memo that’s the top no good from outside Gilgis Alexander and foul on the shot so he’ll get a chance at the line it’s going to be on Obie Toppenhen just Alexander does a good job of just staying aggressive and that just forces the defense to do something [Applause] shooting two that’s good from Gilgus Alexander Hartenstein he’s checked in for Oklahoma City williams comes in for Aaron Wiggins turner’s checked in for Indiana pascal Seakum comes in for Topin diligious Alexander hits them both aces trail by five outside Matin Shades over to Russo matan good matine’s got nine points in the quarter he was sitting back a little bit there in the first half but feels like showtime now and he’s ready to put some major points up on the board turner with the steal and here’s the fast break seakum leading the way uses the glass to finish the lane you see the mobility on the break seakum goes after every easy scoring opportunity he sees williams passes to Hart [Applause] shot to wide open the thunder with another miss and I thought that was going to fly looks good from here pass to Matan that time and the shot that would have put them on top thunder have gotten into a pretty good groove going six and 10 here in the final quarter now [Music] Caruso here’s the screen from outside off the mark that’s a look you cannot pass up it’s also one you should miss and it’s Turner finishing it off hard to stop Turner in close as soon as he has prime positioning he is going for the slam pass to Dort Gilis Alexander kicks to Caruso shot clock at six here’s Dor and it’s sent back by Turner and I would not test Turner miles has led the NBA blocks and just has great timing his jumps and Mark Dagno calls timeouts he knows every possession is critical now ready everyone home ready he has jumped in for Oklahoma City aaron Kneesmith has checked in for the basics and while we’ve got a moment let’s send it over to our terrific reporter David david hey guys during the last break here’s what Mark Dagnel was telling his team now with the game in the balance he had some encouraging words for his team he said “This is what we wanted we thought if we kept it close we could pull it out now let’s go out there and do just that back to you guys thank you David here’s Gilg Alexander nails it from the high post gil Alexander’s got 40 points he is at his best and it matters most this game is theirs as long as he can keep this up callebertton here’s the pick here’s Siaka it’s Kren with the rebound homer’s got his seventh rebound of the game with that last one to the inside outside for Gildas Alexander the bucket is good he’ll have a chance for one more it goes on coaches love Gilas Alexander and the way that he’s working he’s refusing to give in against that kind of airtight defense personal foul find the legs behind the legs one shot before your thunder Shane Gil Alexander shooting one that’s good from Gilas Alexander pacers trail by four overton outside to seek back to Nemo and a miss there on the triple d really getting away with one there no one on him that’s going to be good nine out of 10 times and it’s Gilas Alexander missing seakum with it he’s picked up by Gilas Alexander [Applause] and they call the foul so he’s got the and one chance here to make it a three-point play and you know how hard Turner goes has the strength needed to work through the contact and finish [Music] [Applause] on the free throw no good for Oklahoma City they’ve got a pretty good rhythm going offensively shooting eight of 15 for the quarter dort passes to Homer outside gil Alexander good on the triple gil Alexander’s got 46 points sga doesn’t rely on the three to get his points but man it’s following watch out he’s to Hallebert four on the clock wants to get it to Turner and does takes the pass and dunks it down easy to understand why they go to Turner here they trust in his ability to come through dort with the ball connects again from distance and he’s letting it fly from long range to devastating effect and he’s now tied the franchise record for triples in a playoff game here’s Nishman and they come right back with their own three-point 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 here’s Homegrren there’s the three it’s rebounded by Tyrese Hallebertton hallebertton got rebound numbers here tonight there are times when you want your guards to be aggressive and Hallebertton there with a great [Applause] take two shots [Applause] that’s good from Hellbert [Applause] [Music] hallebertton hits him both yeah not the guy that you want to put at the line in these moments he’s not missing these now here’s Williams over Nmith williams can’t get it to go and Turner kicks to Hallebertton two minutes remaining in the game two minutes 158 left in the game turner with a screen on Williams nemo and once again off the mark by Indiana and Gilgus Alexander’s got the ball here for the Oklahoma City Thunder they lead by one and he’s fouled pretty hard on that shot but he’s got the chance to pick up the points at the line [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] he drops the first one that will put them up by two [Applause] and he hits more free throws here so now it’s a three-point game and you just have to understand that hours and hours of practice mean that clutch free throws become easy here’s two free throws coming up and they call the shooting foul here throughout his career Siaku gets himself to the foul line a lot adept at using that he’ll earn some free throws here [Applause] so the first one drops and that brings down within two here seiakum hits them [Applause] both 131 left to play here in the fourth here’s Gilgis Alexander the shot no good excellent defense there from Hallebertton to take the lead and that one clearly a foul gets the whistle and two shots coming up [Applause] [Applause] heads of the first and that ties the game up and so making both free throws better give them the lead here and how about the composure there at the line a ton of pressure on those free throws and he knocks them both in and it’s Gil Alexander missing and Indiana shooting in the fourth has been tremendous 59% pass to Syakum from seven good that is world class love seeing Matt there a huge possession and he nets it and Mark Dagno calls timeout here the magnitude at this juncture in the game clearly warranting a timeout [Applause] from deep he’ll just have yet another bucket talk about the night he’s had that score now ties him for the single game playoff tie for this team he has been nothing short of amazing tonight right a legendary playoff performance from him and so it’s Rick Carile here calling timeout and he knows there’s no room for mistakes and wants everyone on the same [Applause] page here’s Seakkum over Homegrren it’s rebounded by Hartinstein up top covered by Seakum the pass to Hartnot and here’s the fast break seakum leading the way money sakum seakum that’s a big time play and Mark Dagno calls timeout here coach clearly feeling the necessity to regroup with so much at stake here and talking about the approach now what are they looking at big chance here to tie it with a bucket they just need a solid play right now and coach going through his index cards to find one to get something going 29 seconds left in the fourth quarter and another one falls and he’s on a tear offensively lighting up the scoreboard with a And how about this he now holds the team’s single game record for postseason scoring [Applause] the free throw off from Gilgus Alexander allebertton outside there’s 10 seconds left to play in the final quarter six to shoot here’s Siaka oh missed it had a foul to give there but you better not have it cost your team [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] and the first of two no good break no good at the strike this time the second misses also and regulation now complete we will go to overtime and for 2K Sports we’ll be back here at Paycom well four quarters weren’t enough to decide this ball game sit back and enjoy as we move on to overtime here we go the four and the five the lengthy pair of Homegrren and Hartenshine gilgis Alexander runs things with Gord to his side and it’s Williams at the three turner looking around and Denise Smith is looking for him and finds him hallebertton for three gets the three-pointer to fall hallebertton’s got 45 points coming into the league scouts had some uncertainty about Hallebertton’s jumper mostly because of the way he looks to push shot out front but he’s more than capable as a shooter and sometimes as a point guard you got to take things into your own hand yeah right it’s okay to be selfish when you have a chance like that well if he’s calling his own number there’s a reason for it there decision making from him out there burton outside pocket six indiana needs to get a shot with Siaka and the rejection by Hungren here’s Dort and the layup’s good off the glass dort’s got 26 dort can be streaky but man when he gets in a rhythm they’re going to start to find him hallebertton passes to Nemo turner for three gilas Alexander pulls it in and you could tell he thought that triple was going to fall some nice passing by Oklahoma City williams shot is off for Indiana they’ve gone one and three from the floor since the start of Smith yes and the foul that one on Gilas Alan and the combination of his quickness and soft touch around the rim really allows him to pull off shots like that a lot of players don’t have the reverse in their arsenal [Music] [Applause] and Gilgus Alexander’s got the ball here for the Oklahoma City Thunder outside [Applause] to pass to Hartenstein now here’s Homer just five to shoot williams outside burries the long range jumper he’s got 25 man I’ll tell you what the pressure is cranked up who better to call than this guy and Rick Cornwall decides to call timeout and clearly an important junction he’s going to have some choice words with his [Applause] team and you know what to do just under two and a half minutes passed here in this overtime shot is good that play never gets old the pick and roll will still be an offensive staple 100 years from now trust me [Applause] homer sets the screen for Gilis Alexander pascal Seakum grabs the miss seakum’s got rebound number 10 with that last Denise Smith and here’s Albert takes the three sinks the three-pointer hallebertton’s got 48 and Hallebertton looks absolutely unfazed by the moment [Applause] alexander against good that’s another bucket you see how easily he’s getting buckets to be this hot must be a heck of a feeling no doubt and get this he’s now tied for the third most points in a playoff game ever alongside Donovan Mitchell who got 57 in the bubble back in 2020 [Music] [Applause] yeah big play on the front end to finish despite getting hacked there and big on the back end to hit the free throw seakum inside working on home tries again and Seakum with the nice bucket inside seakum’s got 23 points oh huge basket by Seakum we’ve seen this before in the final and it’s sent back by [Applause] Turner now here’s Nissan he’ll just recover and the foul called on Pascal Siaka that’ll be his second foul of the game oh great defense they anticipated the play and got there first trailing by three outside Gilgis [Applause] Alexander the rebound by Hallebertton indiana’s gotten six points by way of the three-point shot in overtime they’re two of four on their attempts from G and delivering in the clutch here with zero fear running the ball it matters most real good and that tacks another big point onto the lead great one play showing us now a little bit of that killer instinct bill’s Alexander against Hallebertton it falls and now they trail by just four burton outside pass to Siak eat away it’s rebounded by Oklahoma City here’s Dort outside for Gilas Alexander connects again and that bucket looks as wide as the Pacific Ocean he just can’t miss a phenomenal offensive exhibition now he is tied the alltime story mark for points in a playoff game and the great Michael Jordan may stand alone but not in this category he’s got some shot clock at six here’s And that’ll be two free throws coming up officials on the call with the foul and so he’s picked up his final foul for the rest of this game yeah and luckily they’ve got to rip him down at that position if there’s one spot on the floor where they can afford to lose somebody that would probably be it [Applause] and he cannot get the first one to drop tough one to miss [Applause] he’s able to hit the second one and that will put them up by two and more deadenhole calls timeout here pivotal moment in this game he’s not taking any chances he’ll call time what do you think we’re going to see here big chance here to tie it with a bucket they just need a solid play right now on coach going through his index cards to find one to get something going [Applause] gil Alexander with it to tie it up again what an avalanche and that bucket if you can believe it sets a new all-time record for points in a playoff game craig the way he came out tonight you can feel the level of his focus he put his team on his back and has delivered an incredible offensive show and it was way back in 1986 that Michael Jordan set the record of 63 points and when you surpass the greatest of all time you’ve done something special [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and so we are tied again at the end of overtime now we’re headed to overtime number two and for 2K and with another overtime in front of us the question is who will blink first nobody wants to give in a lot of pride now on the line here we go and play stops whistleing what looks to be an illegal swoop that one stings there hurts so much more to turn the ball over especially with how tight the game is and Indiana shooting so far very efficient all around about [Applause] 55% hallebertton outside shoots over Gilus and the Pacers can’t get it to go here’s Williams lays it up and despite of the excellent defense at that Williams has got 27 again it’s Jaylen Williams he is in a groove playing with confidence let’s keep finding him he’s the best ammo outside three caruso grabs the miss not quite enough defense that time around just lucky he was off they get it back outside for Dilas Alexander six on the shot clock and yet again Pascal Seakum grabs the miss seakum’s got rebound number 12 here already in the game a nice shot by Newmith and Seakum showing off his vision with the nice pass oklahoma City trailer outside Williams back to Gilas Alexander shoots and it’s good off the back of the rim and in a nice read as usual by Gilas [Applause] Alexander and here is [Applause] Mismo and Rick Carile decides to call timeout he’s not taking any chances and wants to huddle him up right away here they come fans it’s your one and only [Applause] girl [Applause] [Applause] here’s Lee Smith it falls for the sixth time in seven tries this contest that’s 86% how about the inbound pass there easy bucket here’s Gilgus Alexander finds the bottom of the bucket from 13 ft out and the jump shot has been a dimension of this game where they’ve had it for outside four here’s Seakum and again it’s Indiana well at that mid-range Seakum has a nice face up game outside Dort back to Gilus Alexander oklahoma City moving it around and again for three and talk about stepping up he’s having a playoff game these fans will never forget that last three means he’s got the most threes in a single playoff game in franchise history smith can’t get it to go you know what though sometimes you can be too open i think it may have surprised him and that’s why he missed and foul on the shot so he’ll get a chance at the line [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] and that hurts as he doesn’t get the first one to fall trying to focus now on the second [Applause] that’s good going one or two from the line and that makes it a three-point lead and so here is Indiana now [Applause] and right there you can you can see the impact of L so tough to defend once he gets to his spot [Applause] red on the first and that brings them within two [Applause] seakum hits them both oklahoma City shooting has been terrific 54% on the game here’s Gil Alexander gets rebounded by Indiana seiakum outside at the top of the key hallebertton nice move pass to Turner seakum [Applause] outside shoots over Caruso it’s good and this is how deadly Seakum can be when he’s cooking like this you just feed him and get out of the way and it’s Oklahoma City’s ball and you hear this crowd they know he just set the three-point single game playoff record well they’ve seen lots of stars over the years but this guy he has the most threes in a single game for their [Applause] team [Applause] yeah heat [Applause] [Music] [Applause] gilg’s Alexander again hallebert here’s the and a lot of contact on that one so he’ll shoot two here oh first free throw is good and that will put them up by two [Applause] and so he drops them both it’s a three-point game here’s Gilg [Applause] Alexander going inside count it and that shot brings them to within just one this Alexander going to celebrate that one you can probably expect to see him slow it down yeah [Applause] milaka and there’s the foul that’s his third foul so far from the situation in effect so we’ll have to defend the line for two [Applause] he hits the first one and that will put them up by two [Applause] so he goes two for two at the line and it’s a three-point game well important there to have the three-point lead because only A3 can tie it up now and Mark Dagno calls timeout here this is a huge moment folks in this game and he wants to be prepared turning here to our analysts what factors guys come to your mind and if you can get a three shoot it otherwise get the quick two and a foul don’t force something up you got to be smart here from deep Gilis Alexander gets rebounded by Indiana with an intentional foul there stops the clock you have to foul but I’m sure they would have liked to foul someone different so the first one drops and that gives them a four-point cushion [Applause] so it gets them both and it’s a five-point game and just like that this game is a two-possession affair no time to waste on this possession time is not on their side right now they’re aware and it’s still a rare sight to see rebound numbers like the one he’s had tonight well this kind of effort will energize the team and get you going just gobbling up every board [Applause] [Applause] and he drops the first one and that increases their lead to [Applause] six second one is good both at the line and it’s a seven-point game and they’ve been a different team here in overtime they they just seem to have lost their energy nailed from three-point land so a close game sees Indiana take this one and this win puts them squarely in the driver’s seat in this series up now two zip with all the momentum on their side i mean [Music] Heat heat n and it’s Turner in at the pivot spot manning the middle for the Thunder the four and the five the lengthy pair of Homer and Hartenstein Gilis Alexander runs things with Gord to his side and it’s Williams at the small forward position and a wide Open look for coaches Alexander and it’s good assisting on the play was Williams SGA from way out there knocking down the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] three back to Hallebertton hits some rim on the way in and the bucket’s good and he’s not going to miss many of those especially that wide open no he’s automatic from the mid-range and the defense knows that it’s a mistake to give up a shot like that goes up at the stripe it’s rebounded by Ni Smith pass to [Applause] Nemo and the call on the shot sends him to the line and really the defense bound there to prevent the layup but that’s exactly what you need to do the Berser free throws of the game [Applause] [Applause] and the first one drops [Applause] [Applause] and both free throws good for Nemhar and Gilis Alexander’s got the ball here for Oklahoma City needed to bounce back from Wednesday’s loss yeah you could see they were pressing in that one and the shooting percentages dipped because of it foul so anytime you’re having trouble getting over that 40% field goal mark it’s probably not going to be your night or the three sinks the triple gil Alexander’s got a pair of threes now in the first quarter for Oklahoma City and here are the bases now hallebertton and Basmo and in the first a little over a minute and a half in fires the three it’s rebounded by Oklahoma City and here is Dort pass to Gilis Alexander goes to the reverse layup and drops it in gilas Alexander’s got eight points about the agility of Shay Gilis Alexander able to get around that inside contact [Applause] hallebertton feeling it out a bit that’s his second shot and his second basket he’s two for two and giving up some inches inside but makes up for it with an aggressive style yeah the big man not going to slow him down from getting that deuce hardenstein against Turner williams outside that one doesn’t drop and so it’s Turner with it he brings it up for the Pacers trailing by two hallebertton passes to Turner now him pass Denise Smith six to [Applause] shoot home against Seiakum and he’s good on the three ball seakum that’s a developing area so don’t give him a reason to shoot another outside Williams and oh boy a lot of contact there but he gets the call and will shoot two I tell you what he earned his money on that foul Thunder shooting their first foul shots of the night here [Music] William taking two shots 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 he hits both from the strike here’s [Applause] Hallebertton outside Turner [Applause] pass to Nemo gilg’s Alexander again hallebertton the shot by Turner no good oklahoma City has gone two or four from beyond the arc to start the game homegrren the pass to Hartenstein back to Homegrren oh good on the triple and on an open look like that he’s very gifted at making the weak coverage play nothing that time he’s 0 for two the Thunder with the lead a drop by Homer banked in off the glass oh the long strides of Homegrrim on display this is why you can’t give him the lane and Rick Carw decides to call timeout but he’s made the decision he wants to huddle up with this guy and on the screen now is the 2K leaderboard with a rundown of this postseason’s assist leaders tyrese Hallebertton on top and of course Shay Gil Alexander i think these two guys are having a little personal competition here in the playoffs to see who will finish with the most assists and so here is Indiana it’s a three-point game hallebertton outside a three-pointer is right on target hallebertton’s got seven points boy Hallebertton consistent with that shot for Oklahoma City they’ve gone 50% from the field to this point four of eight hardenstein passes to Torch and they wasted no time getting those three points back nice answer back there love to see the competitor both teams finding ways to the three-point line and trying to take advantage from distance it’s deflected it’s stolen by Alexander over in the corner [Applause] george on the left blockard grabs the board you know they don’t score on that shot but they’re going to be happy with those kinds of possessions [Applause] turner finds Seakum green by Seakum no problems knocking that one down he has five you know Seaken playing unselfish and a better option just to drop that one off oklahoma City’s gone 306 50% from deep so far tonight here’s Gilgis Alexander and a lot of contact on that one so he’ll shoot two here it’s going to be on Siaka for Oklahoma City then on two for two in the game at the [Applause] line sh taking two shots [Applause] first one falls for him and money from the stripe sga could close his eyes and knock that down gilg 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 siaka passes to Hallebertton turner with a screen on Gildas Alexander hallebertton no good his touch from mid-range that’s almost always good that won’t shake his confidence pass to Williams shoots over Nemo and a great move by Williams yeah as a shooter Williams is fairly flexible pacers trail by four seakum [Music] outside here’s gets rebounded by Oklahoma City and I was sure that was money on that one but everyone is afforded an easy miss too yeah that happens important thing is for players just don’t beat yourself up and make a miss like that cost you another play for Indiana they’ve gotten five of 10 shots to drop in this game so far right at the 50% mark hard finds [Applause] Hallebertton caught it from 12 hallebertton’s got nine points and he is really in a zone right now playing and scoring with confidence pass to Hartinstein back to Gilus Alexander played in with a nice touch off the glass 12 points for him flat out taking the game over and there’s no way he’s going to give it up outside [Applause] turner here’s Misman he claims that one off the back iron and down it falls sweet pass from Turner he’s really been working on his ability to pass the ball gil Alexander looking around that one good for two and the Thunder lead by four and boy he’s really in a groove dominant performance last game same thing this time out seems to be nobody standing in his way no roadblocks for him to get to a spot capitalize continue to be aggressive burton against Gil Alexander here’s a three off the mark the Thunder lead by four dort kicks to Gilgal [Applause] driving to the basket it falls for the sixth time in seven tries this contest that’s 86% this is what Gilas Alexander does he attacks you relentlessly [Applause] here’s Nehard five points in the game and it’s Hellbertton missing and they have a narrow edge here in rebounding early on you wonder what kind of a role that’s going to play moving forward the shots good from Gilgus Alexander only one miss in his first eight attempts coming out of the gate strong and Rick Corle decides to call timeout he’s ready to talk things through with the [Applause] team for your new DC [Applause] for the Thunder williams is checked in for Hartstein aaron Wiggins comes in for Jed Homegrren and it’s Alex Caruso in for Dorch so an entirely new group in now for Indiana obie Toppins checked in for Turner benedict Mathering comes in for Niss shepard’s checked in for Andrew Neh and it’s TJ McConnell in for Hallebertton [Applause] and here are the Pacers now trailing here by eight they’re topping a big player that can see over the top of guys that time a good decision and Gilis Alexander’s got the ball here for the Thunder the 11footer and it goes out of bounds a rash touch by Toppen and Oklahoma City making a change here a few shows checked in the Pacers making a change [Applause] here and here now the Thunder six-point lead left side williams five to shoot good and the story here Kevin early on is how well they shot the basketball razers have gone eight of 15 from the field shooting above 50% here tonight pass to Wiggins with the rebound they’ve been beating them to a lot of those loose balls and rebounds here to start a chance to extend the lead to double digits but it’s no [Applause] good caruso against Toon Williams here’s McCutle and off the front iron and in it goes punch counter punch impressive offensive production early on who’s going to miss first every time one team scores the other team right back at you here’s Williams 11 ft out and he hits it williams has got six points you can’t just stop when there’s a pick 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 here’s Seakum takes the 12-footer and hits he has five creating some space in the twoman game seakum read that one right outside Williams and the rebound goes to the Patriots teammates right now covering up for the type of off performance he’s having in terms of scoring this has not been his best night here’s Siaka and contact on the shot so he’ll be shooting free throws here most is going to bring some intensity inside he’s embracing the chance to be foul now let’s take a moment to get your guys take on the scoring so far for the Thunder and guys I love the movement doing a great job of just getting the ball on a string creating some opportunities well a lot of the players are doing a good job as well of scanning the interior part of the paint all those inside looks those are paying off shay Gildish Alexander checked in for Williams allebertton’s checked in for the Pacers and he can’t hit the second and Pascal Seakum has really worked on his game over the years barely scored as a rookie and worked himself into an allNBA selection not the kind of aggressive defense they need to cut into the lead yeah you have to protect the rim Ray a little better good job to recognize the opportunity it’s just very solid offense and a wide open look for Hallebertton drills the three-pointer hallebertton’s got 12 this is not a player who likes to be trailing in any game that lights a fire williams a screen on McConnell it’s stolen by Matan 3 seconds separate the shot clock and game clock down low here’s Hallebert and he gets the whistle two free throws coming up can’t be overzealous with Hallebert i mean you are he embraces that you got the whistle he’s getting his first free throw attempt of the night right now [Applause] that’s good from Hallebertton and Howallebertton a guy you just continue to see grow game by game an exceptional talent and a great mind and Indiana making a change here lions checked in he hits one and misses one each at the line so valuable to this team hallelbert gives them whatever they need when they need it this guy is both patient and prolific gil Alexander with it williams a screen on McConnell and here’s Gilis Alexander outside jay Jones Alexander guys has been on display for the Oklahoma City Thunder going on an absolute rampage and it’s time for more of the NBA finals on 2K Sports what a time of year and for the Thunder guys what stands out to you so far well coaches preach ball movement and we saw exactly why in that first quarter everybody just feeling the energy of the basketball as they moved it around and lots of hands were touching it here’s McConnell on the court for Indiana he’ll be topping out there with Thomas Bryant then there’s Benedict Matan then it’s Hallebertton and it’s McConnell in at the wide now here is Hallebertton covered by Joe it’s good and the Thunder is cut down to just one on the basket from Hallebertton defense doing their best to put Hallebertton off balance but he stays flexible kind of warps around the defense and adjust to the contact gil Alexander against McConnell and Gil just Alexander the bucket on the assist by Williams and they keep hammering away at him inside forcing the ball into the paint hallebertton pitched to Chompin over in the corner Allebertton outside pocket six and another one in the scoring column for him he’s seven of 10 from the field hallebertton piling up points he can thank his impressive work ethic for that up top Gilas Alexander he’s covered by McConnell and yes it’s good d has been just completely helpless and turned around he’s so dangerous when he’s in this kind of rhythm hallebertton for three misses fourth time against seven makes in this game well after getting off to a great start hitting those first two shots he’s definitely regressed a little bit in this quarter pacers trail by three here’s Matan good and McConnell gets the assist matan’s got his first basket of the night and using that body to his advantage Matan will learn to control his strength as he grows in the league the shots good from Gildasine [Applause] indiana’s gotten fewer than half of their three-pointers to go down tonight they are four for nine pass to Hallebertton bryant outside hallebertton kicks to Bryant the shot goes down and gets this game back to even bryan’s got himself going with the triple his first basket of the game here’s Gilgus Alexander and Gilgus Alexander throws it down giljis Alexander has blossomed into this forceful guard just look at this performance [Applause] for those of you just joining us in the second quarter with about 3 minutes gone by Hlebert and the Pacers tack on two more there’s so much about Hallebertton that shows that he plays well beyond his years just Alexander and he’s open it’s rebounded by Bryant the defense better tighten up on the mid-range they’re much much tighter you expect him to make every single one of those oklahoma City has gone three of seven tonight from three-point territory basket is good and he’ll get a chance for one more at the line they are attacking the rim and getting great results and he’s got his first chance at the line here arinstein’s checked in for the Thunder dort comes in for Isaiah Joe indiana also making some changes miles Turner he’s checked in for Thomas Bryant and Andrew Nehard’s subbed in for TJ McConnell [Music] the free throw drops for Caruso closing in on four minutes played here in the second quarter pass to [Applause] top now here’s Turner to the middle and stolen by Caruso and now a fast break for the Thunder and the dunk by Hardenstein that’s a stomach punch guys turn it over and give him a free run to the Ball Run no question who has the momentum now execution with pace that’s a bad turnover that simply was telegraphed and this is an advantage of having size in the back court caliber using that length to cause trouble two shots take a break take a break two [Applause] shots and he knocks down the first one [Applause] [Applause] callebertton hits them both the Thunder leading by three now gilgis Alexander he’s got 26 wiggins a screen on Hallebertton it’s tipped topin with the steel and here we go hallebertton heading to the hoop lays it in off the breakaway hallebertton’s got 23 just a great job of Hallebertton finding his way to the bucket [Applause] on the wing Gilis Alexander he’s covered by Hallebertton and it’s Gilas Alexander missing indiana’s gone five of 10 from downtown tonight 50% exactly it’s good hallebertton’s got the lead up to one now for Indiana hallebertton using his length and getting in the lane gilg Alexander kicks to Caruso dort with a screen for Caruso and again no good by Oklahoma City and so it’s Turner with it he brings it up for the Patriots [Applause] jordan against [Applause] Matthew from deep turn and Turner stays with him and now a three-point pacer lead effort points by Turner working hard inside getting rewarded with some points [Applause] turner against Henstein pass to Caruso shot clock at five wiggins a screen on Matan shot to stop the run caruso no good pacers leading by [Applause] three turner the bounce pass memard the pass to [Applause] Hallebertton puts it up from 17 thunder with the rebound hartstein’s got his fourth rebound in this one pass to Gilg Alexander outside dorsch fires the three good on the three-point shot dors got it all tied up now for the Thunder when you size up to D sometimes you take a little bit of an extra count and D did it that time hard finds Allebertton trying to come right back with a three of his own it’s no good now here’s Gilas Alexander 26 points for him solid shot from the distance of about 14 ft gilas Alexander’s got 28 boy has he put his foot on the pedal here this quarter he’s doing a terrific job in terms of leading their offense turner with a screen on Gilis Alexander hallebertton for three cans it from downtown 28 points for him it’s first triple of the second quarter third of the game and Mark Dagno calls timeout he wants a minute here to get things straightened out with this team for the Thunder Homer he’s checked in for Wiggins and Jaylen Williams is subbed in for Gilis Alexander then for the Pacers Pascal Seakum comes in for Topin and Aaron E smith subbed in for Benedict [Applause] Matanie oklahoma City has gone one of two on three-pointers here in the second quarter so far caruso kicks to Dort three-pointer the rebound by Turner turner’s got his fifth rebound right now in the game here’s Meard five points in the game seakam outside pass to Hallebertton over Caruso hallebertton no good oklahoma City trailing hartenstein passes to Caruso here’s Homegr fires from deep dort misses and close to making the defense pay for the lack coverage that time here’s Siaka and they call the foul so a chance at the line for one more coming up and one area where they’ve improved here in the second quarter is getting the ball in the paint that inside scoring has gotten much stronger tj McConnell he’s checked in for Indiana [Applause] and that one misses they’re trailing by three williams inside he’s covered by McConnell and he drops in the layup off the glass williams has got eight points just takes advantage of the D in a way that very few players playing today can do siaka deciding where to go with it turner with the screen for Siaka knocked away williams with the steal here’s Homegr from down in the low post it goes homegr’s got his second bucket of the game to go and looking to get stronger home fights through the bump tons of time for him to grow into that rank got a piece of it here’s Siaka indiana again turning it over these players can flat out shoot the rock the 2K leaderboard shows us the top three-point shooters in the playoffs well you look at Nmith second in the league extremely accurate from beyond the arc he he is having so much success from beyond the three-point line some guys just thrive on this kind of pressure the Thunder with the lead and here is Williams he’s got eight pass to Homegrren outside Williams this one for three nehard grabs the board indiana’s gone past the three-point line for 13 of their shots six of 13 oklahoma City’s gotten into trouble with the three ball in the second quarter only hitting one of five attempts dort kicks to Caruso hardenstein with a screen on McConnell and that one’s good caruso and I like the fact that he really was unfaced by that scoreless first quarter and now you can see him getting into a rip back to Eastman to the inside here’s Nemo the dunk and the foul a powerhouse move and he’s got a chance for one more at the line that one on Williams this will be his third free throw shot of the game isaiah Joe he’s judging for the Thunder one shot [Applause] [Applause] and so it’s Williams who brings it up for the Thunder pass to Homer joe in the corner outside Dort and again Oklahoma City with the triple and that’s his second in this quarter guys he’s made three so far this game and is showing no signs of slowing down [Applause] kneesmith with the ball williams picks him up and the rejection by Hungren shots good by Turner you know he’s had better starts obviously but he’s shaking it off here in the second pass to Hartenstein outside Dort hartenstein with the screen for Dort and the Thunder another three bottom line you need shooters on your team who can space the floor well there’s no doubt he’s a legitimate threat from downtown and he’s demonstrating that in this game red finds McConnell turner with the screen just five on the clock that’s good and it’s McConnell with the assist mcconnell’s got three assists tonight well we’ve seen that movie a few times haven’t we an easy bucket in the paint outside Dort there’s 42 seconds left in the second quarter [Applause] hardenstein passes to Homer over Seiakum homerren can’t hit pacers trail by three pass Denise Smith indiana moving it [Applause] around it’s Neard on the wing defended by Dors he gets it in there neard’s got five points now in the quarter joe with it still without a basket holdren can’t [Applause] hit shade Gilgis Alexander guys has been on display for the Oklahoma City Thunder he got into double digits for the quarter with 10 points total and we’ll be right back after this [Applause] they’re not showing enough fight defensively take some pride getting some stops this is when your leader has to step in and say something yeah tough to beat a team that’s shooting double nickels from the field [Applause] and glad to have you with us as we get going here in game two you know Shane Gilis Alexander has been exceptional here tonight guys well we’ll find out if they were able to find an answer for him over the break he was scoring with ease in that first half yeah just way too easy out there and I’m sure coach is going to make that a priority at halftime [Applause] indiana trailing here the four and the five the lengthy pair of Homegrren and Hartenshot gilg Alexander runs things with Dort to his side and it’s Williams at the three the small four that’s the lineup out there for the Thunder for the lead pass to Nemo that falls nice feed that time from Hallebertton neard’s got 13 nice find by Hallebertton just a great feel for the game martin Shine with it here’s Dors and right away they match it with a three-pointer of their own and the Thunder lead by one now him inside and blocked the ball with his palm what an offensive play for three homer Pascal Seakum grabs the [Applause] miss nice defense from George that’s one for their first four to start the second half williams working [Applause] around buries it down low he’s got 10 third quarter of basketball we’re about a minute and a half in here’s Nehard he’s got 13 [Applause] and two free throws coming up unable to get that one to go with all the content yeah easy call he is three for three from the free throw line andrew taking two shots [Applause] first free throw is good [Applause] and that one goes in two from the line that time oklahoma City has gone one of two from beyond the arc since coming out of the [Applause] break williams with a clean look and he gets it to go hitting off the back of the rim williams has got four this work okay good game plan to start the second half three of four so far from the field burton again still burton outside shot clock at six shoots the three and once again off the mark by Indiana Oklahoma City leading by three gilgus Alexander passes to Hartinshot and it’s sent back by Turner and here we go fast break hallebertton’s got it lays it up off the glass hallebertton’s got 30 an excellent awareness and effort hallebertton getting involved and finishing that time on the break gilas Alexander with it now guarded by Shiakam offensive rebound and he uses the glass on the layup gil Alexander’s got 30 down the stretch he’s been flat out awesome he helped them get the lead and now he’s making sure they keep it and Rick Corw decides to call timeout wants to talk some things over might be seeing some things to adjust right now here are the NBA’s top scorers during this postseason as shown on the 2K leaderboard shade Gilis Alexander is second and he’s taken off on a tremendous scoring streak at the perfect time i mean obviously he’s established himself as a premier playoff performer kneesmith with the ball he’s against Williams siaka kicks to Hallebertton wants to get it to Turner and does and it’s crucial that Turner remains assertive like this because it’s how he’s going to get these calls it’s his first trip to the line turn two [Applause] shots and he makes the first 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 [Applause] Packers he doesn’t get the second one for Oklahoma City they’ve gone 47 to get things started here in the second half wasted no time on that one gorge threes now here in the third for the Thunder the size and skill of Gorge is pretty unique he can really effective at any [Applause] position in the third quarter with just over 3 and 1/2 minutes off the clock here’s Memo and Denise Smith hits it from three-point range n Smith has got five now and you’re asking for more trouble than you can handle if you’re going to let him just roam free from beyond the arc homegrren kicks to Kiljis [Applause] Alexander from outside the arc seakum pulls it in seakum’s got his fourth rebound with that last one here tonight he had six points from long range in the first half but nothing’s fallen here since [Applause] plays at the pick with a tie it counts and the foul one on Homer well an assertive seak is an effective seak this will be his fourth shot at the line in this one seak shot and that drops so they now lead by one and here’s Gilg Alexander he’ll bring it up for Oklahoma City outside Williams tipped away turner with the steal to the paint here’s Seiakum and Seiakum throws it down what a throwdown seaka making sure no one gets in his way thunder have gone five of nine on field goal attempts since halftime and the foul on Miles Turner that’ll be his second foul of the game first team [Applause] [Music] Gilis Alexander against Hallebertton but his shooting this quarter has to be a huge concern especially when they’re behind like this can he find a rhythm seakum outside turner with a screen on Hardenstein they get the rebound pass Denise Smith nehard with it out of bounds oklahoma City takes possession and that’s just carelessness there i mean you have got to have your head in the game the Thunder making a switch here caruso’s checked in and Indiana with a change here too benedict Matan he’s checked in for Arinstein passes to Caruso and here is Dort oklahoma City moving it around and that time also a missed shot and got to like what they’ve been doing down low in the post shooting foul as the whistle blows he’ll shoot two free throws and they didn’t shoot it very well from the line in the first half but they’ve gotten much better since halftime and it’s helped them to secure the lead what do you guys think so far about the offensive approach for the Pacers you love how they’ve lived in the paint making the defense just consistently have to collapse and still finding ways to convert well the three-point shot has been absolutely huge for them this entire game and let’s be honest you have to knock down threes to win games these days the first one falls and good job bringing that free throw percentage up here in the second half doing a great job at the line [Applause] and both free throws good for Nemhawk and he’s given them a good contribution at the line tonight getting there a lot and delivering on his opportunities and Mark Dagno calls timeout this will give him a chance to discuss some potential alterations [Applause] [Music] let’s hear it [Applause] now here’s Dors defense is right there and here’s Gilis Alexander outside it’s rebounded by Indiana nemar’s got rebound number five here for tonight launches it for Thunder pull it in not sure how he finds himself in so much space there and he’s kicking himself for whiffing a bit on that one outside Gilgish Alexander six on the shot clock here’s the floater misses and the dry spell continues all the energy is on the other side right now and every miss just makes it worse well the other team is scorching hot and they come down on this end and can’t find a way to get the embers going siakum kicks to Hallebertton gets to the rim for two with the D all over him hallebertton’s got the lead up to seven now for Indiana and Mark Dagno calls timeout wants to regroup and go over the strategy tyrese Hallebertton with a strong contribution so far in this one they got to be using this timeout to think about a personnel change or a game plan change to try to slow him down [Applause] good [Applause] arinstein passes to Gilas Alexander lays it in without an inch of room around him gilg Alexander’s got 32 points in the game pacers leading by five pass to Nemo on the wing matarin defended by Caruso and the foul on Miles Turner and that’ll be his third foul so far [Applause] foul the Thunder have gone six of 14 since halftime a little cold from the field [Applause] dort left side pass to Caruso dort with a screen for Caruso the three-pointer no good indiana’s gone a less than productive two of six from three-point land in the second half memard the pass to [Applause] Matan caruso grabs the miss there’s a little bit of pressure on him but not enough to cause him to miss a shot that’s in that close seakum against Williams dort misses and so it’s Turner with it he brings it up for the Pacers it’s a five-point game pass to Matan now here is Siako hallebertton for three and the three ball is good hallebertton’s got seven now in this quarter no hesitation from Tyrese Hallebertton he’s a confident guy the Thunder shooting a troubling 38% in the third not the finest work of this offense and there is a whistle that goes on Andrew Nemo that is his first foul of the game for the Thunder williams comes in for Isaiah Hartenstein and Aaron Wiggins is subbed in for Gilgish Alexander indiana also making some changes topin comes in for Turner and it’s TJ McConnell in for Hallebertton here’s Williams 12 points for him caruso a screen on Matan here’s Williams this blows bucket is good he’ll have a chance at the line to make it a three-point play and Jaylen Williams had a plan there to outwork the defense he knows you got to bring it to the paint the Thunder shooting their sixth attempt the charity strike in the game isaiah Joe he’s checked in for Dor and a change for the Pacers lions checked in william shooting one pacers leading by five mcconnell kicks the sharing whistle blows basket is good so a chance here for a three-point play a skillful move there by Matan against the contact somehow finding a way to get the shot to fall first trip to the free throw line for him tonight [Music] [Applause] free throw good Matin and one difference this have is that when they get to the line they’re converting [Applause] now here’s Williams 15 points in the game over topping and a kind roll that time off the rim as that one falls williams has got 17 and since halftime he has been a different player pass to Matine seakum outside ryan with a screen for Seakum off target with his three but if he wants to make the defense work he’s got to start knocking down the threes only one so far in this game for him and none since halftime and not being as aggressive from the three-point line anymore that they had a lot more attempts in that first half to the middle here’s rebounded by Oklahoma City williams has got four rebounds in this game pass to Williams lets it go from deep it’s rebounded by Indiana pass it to [Applause] Siako we’ve got 123 left in the third quarter bryant with it covered by Joe and they double up right and the officials calling for a 3second violation thunder trailing by four outside Williams it’s stolen by Matin topin with it now defended by Wiggins seakum can’t hit from in close oklahoma City shooting an outstanding 53% for the game and there’s the foul on the shot they’ll go to the line for two thunder shooting their seventh and eighth free throw attempts for the game right here william take a break take a break two shots he’s off on the first [Applause] and he’s good on the second and so it’s McConnell with it they’ll bring it up for Indiana three-point lead pass to Bryant against Williams and a wide open look from Matin good and the assist goes to Bryant eight points here for Benedict Matan williams against Toppen shots good by Williams and there’s a pattern starting to take shape here they’re working it inside and getting good shots from close [Applause] range mcconnell scanning the floor pocket six and stolen by Wiggins here’s Williams and again it’s Oklahoma City three quarters of play in a close game here it’s the Pacers they lead by two and when we return we’ll get the fourth and let’s go back to a terrific pass that we’re calling tonight our State Farm assist of the game and the definition of teamwork right there guys i mean what great communication between them and what a beautiful feat well coaches talk about it all the time but to be able to play with that kind of feel nice play collaborating improvising and organic three ten quarters behind us one more to go thanks for being with us as we begin the fourth on the court right now for the Pacers they’ve got Bryant benedict Mattherin is out there with Toughen it’s TJ McConnell and it’s Hallebertton in at the shooting guard pass to Joe to take the lead it’s good from Juan Re joe’s got his first three points of the game on the finishing hand in the catch and shoot joe is [Applause] dead now hbert outside Min trying to answer back but that three is off the mark the Thunder with the [Applause] lead joe with it right side Gilgus Alexander big passes to Gilgish Alexander the kick out to Williams oh good on the three and they had some boxed coverage that turned into no coverage williams with the steel here’s the break to the big dunk at the end of the break got to take care of the ball they’ll punish you if you’re that careless that’s right and that’s severe punishment right there how about the sequence in its entirety momentum swing and you love the effort here bryant with a screen on Caruso the shots good from Hallebertton running the pick and roll with just tremendous patience and poise hallebertton reading the defense so well he exploited that open outside gil Alexander takes it off the glass gil Alexander’s got 34 gil Alexander such a tough cover especially at his side and here’s McConnell burton outside good mcconnell gets the assist mcconnell’s got six assists in the game and great intensity here down the stretch he’s not one to shrink in the moment take a look at it locked in right now in this moment wants the ball in his hands and feels real comfortable with the shot he’s taking here’s Wiggins plays it up and banks it in and the Thunder lead by two that’s an excellent play call to free him up from the defense well taking advantage of that opportunity it does not get any more high percentage than that mcconnell finds Toppin quarter keeps moving right along so far five on the clock merin and foul on the shot he’ll shoot two at the free throw line and one of the problems in the first half that shotty work at the free throw line they needed to fix that and they’ve been much improved since the break and a moment now to quickly take a look at the offensive approach for the Thunder credit them for not settling i mean they’ve been in attack mode off the dribble all game long and thus far it’s paying off well if we add another thing to it it’s about the urgency they’ve played with when you look at the eyes of these guys they’re focused wanting to get up tempo and that’s helped them score on the fast break and I like the drive of this kid matine really a team player and the Thunder making a switch here dors checked in the Pacers also with the sub near’s checked in and so he hits [Applause] both and here’s Gilg Alexander he’ll bring it up for Oklahoma [Applause] City pass to Caruso crings the three-pointer such an improved part of SGA’s game love his passing skills pacers trail by three tin with [Applause] it hallebertton passes to Hton back falls nice feed that time from Hallebertton and it’s 13 points here for Benedict Matan now Gilgus Alexander and he could not get that one to go out of contact and he’ll go to the line for two it goes on Tyresese Hallebertton so slippery in there gild Alexander makes great adjustments to get what he wants alex taking two shots first free throw is good and the growth that Shay has shown over the years it has come on so fast with how he has improved that he’s adding to his game and he makes both free throws indiana’s gone two and three in the fourth quarter from long range good shooting so far hallebertton finds Merid ryan is three on Caruso [Applause] caruso against Matan bucket is good matine’s got the game tied up here for Indiana what a motor matine can go all night and and he has what a performance here’s Dorsch burries it from three-point range dorsch got 21 in the game well he should be playing this game with an apron on because he’s been right here’s Hallebert and it’s Jay Gilas Alexander with the rebound caruso with the ball picked up by Brighton caruso hits to Wiggins to Gilus Alexander wiggins has a screen for Tor off target from outside pacers trail by [Applause] three here’s me that’s the top of it no good from outside gilg Alexander and foul on the shot so he’ll get a chance at the line it’s going to be on Obi- Toppen y just Alexander does a good job of just staying aggressive and that just forces the defense to do something [Applause] shoot that’s good from Gilgis Alexander Hartenstein he’s checked in for Oklahoma City williams comes in for Aaron Wiggins turner’s checked in for Indiana pascal Seakum comes in for [Applause] Topin kiligious Alexander hits them both pacers trail by five outside Matin shoots over to Russo aan good atheran’s got nine points in the quarter he was sitting back a little bit there in the first half but feels like showtime now and he’s ready to put some major points up on the board turner with the steel and here’s the fast break seakum leading the way uses the glass to finish the lane you see the mobility on the break seakum goes after every easy scoring opportunity he sees williams passes to Hart [Applause] shot jordan wide open the Thunder with another miss and I thought that was going to fly looks good from here pass to Matan no that time in the shot that would have put them on top thunder have gotten into a pretty good groove going six and 10 here in the final quarter now [Music] Caruso here’s the screen from outside off the mark that’s a look you cannot pass up it’s off scope one you should get and it’s Turner finishing it off hard to stop Turner in close as soon as he has prime positioning he is going for the slam pass to Dorch hilis Alexander kicks to Caruso shot clock at six here’s Dors and it’s sent back by Turner and I would not test Turner miles has led and blocks and just has great timing his jumps and Mark Dagno calls timeouts he knows every possession is critical now [Music] ready has checked in for Oklahoma City aaron Kneesmith has checked in for the Patriots and while we’ve got a moment let’s send it over to our terrific reporter David david hey guys during the last break here’s what Mark Dagner was telling his team now with the game in the balance he had some encouraging words for his team he said “This is what we wanted we thought if we kept it close we could pull it out now let’s go out there and do just that back to you guys thank you David here’s Gilg Alexander nails it from the high post gilas Alexander’s got 40 points he is at his best and it matters most this game is theirs as long as he can keep this up caliber finds Nish here’s the pick here’s Kren with the rebound home grim’s got his seventh rebound of the game with that last one to the inside outside for Gilas Alexander the bucket is good he’ll have a chance for one more it goes on coaches love Gilas Alexander and the way that he’s working he’s refusing to give in against that kind of airtight defense personal foul find the linds one shot at the line for your Shane Gil Alexander shooting one that’s good from Gilas Alexander pacers trail by four outside to Seakov to Nemo and a miss there on the triple d really getting away with one there no one on him that’s going to be good nine out of 10 times and it’s Gilas Alexander missing seakum with it he’s picked up by Gilas Alexander [Applause] and they call the foul so he’s got the and one chance here to make it a three-point play and you know how hard Turner goes has the strength needed to work through the contact and finish turn [Applause] one on the free throw no good for Oklahoma City they’ve got a pretty good rhythm going offensively shooting eight of 15 for the quarter dort passes to Homer outside kilis Alexander good on the triple gil Alexander’s got 46 points sga doesn’t rely on the three to get his points but man it’s falling watch out he’s to Hallebertton four on the clock wants to get it to Turner and does takes the value pass and dunks it down easy to understand why they go to Turner here they trust in his ability to come through dort with the ball connects again from distance and he’s letting it fly from long range to devastating effect and he’s now tied the franchise record for triples in a playoff game pass the Emma here’s Nishman and they come right back with their own three-point 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 here’s Homer there’s the three it’s rebounded by Tyrese Hallebertton hallebertton got rebound number five here tonight there are times when you want your guards to be aggressive and Hallebertton there with a great take [Applause] [Applause] that’s good from Halbert [Applause] hallebertton hits them both yeah not the guy that you want to put at the line in these moments he’s not missing these now here’s Williams over Nmith williams can’t get it to go and Turner kicks to Hallebertton two minutes remaining in the game two minutes 158 left in the game turner with a screen on Williams nemar and once again off the mark by Indiana and Gilgus Alexander’s got the ball here for the Oklahoma City Thunder they lead by one and he’s fouled pretty hard on that shot but he’s got the chance to pick up the points at the line [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] he drops the first one that will put them up by two [Applause] and he hits both free throws here so now it’s a three-point game and you just have to understand that hours and hours of practice mean that clutch free throws become easy here’s two free throws coming up and they call the shooting foul here throughout his career Siaki gets himself to the foul line a lot adept at using that he’ll earn some free throws here [Applause] so the first one drops and that brings them within [Applause] two seakum hits them both 131 left to play here in the fourth here’s Gilgis Alexander the shot no good excellent defense there from Hallebertton to take the lead and that one clearly a foul gets the whistle and two shots coming up [Applause] [Applause] that’s the first and that ties the game up and so making both free throws that’ll give them the lead here and how about the composure there at the line a ton of pressure on those free throws and he knocks them both and it’s Gilis Alexander missing and Indiana shooting in the fourth has been tremendous 59% pass to Seakum from seven good that is world class love seeing that there a huge possession and he nets it and Mark Dagno calls timeout here the magnitude at this juncture in the game clearly warranting a timeout [Applause] from deep he’ll just have yet another bucket about the night he’s had that score ties him for the single game playoff tie for this team he has been nothing short of amazing tonight right a legendary playoff performance from him and so it’s Rick Carile here calling timeout and he knows there’s no room for mistakes and wants everyone on the same [Applause] [Music] page here’s Seakkum over H Homegrren it’s rebounded by Hartinstein homegrren up top covered by Seakum the pass to Hartinstein and here’s the fast break seakum leading the way money sakum seakum that’s a big time play and Mark Dagno calls timeout here coach clearly feeling the necessity to regroup with so much at stake here and talking about the approach now what are they looking at big chance here to tie with a bucket they just need a solid play right now and coach going through his index cards to find one to get something going 29 seconds left in the fourth quarter and another one fouls and he’s on a tear offensively lining up the scoreboard with a purpose and how about this he now holds the team’s single game record for postseason scoring [Applause] the free throw off from Gilgus Alexander allebertton outside there’s 10 seconds left to play in the final quarter six to shoot here’s Siaka oh missed it out again there rather not have it cost your team [Applause] [Applause] and the first of two no good break no good at the strike this time second misses also and regulation now complete we will go to overtime and for 2K Sports we’ll be back here at PCOM well four quarters weren’t enough to decide this ball game sit back and enjoy as we move on to overtime the four and the five the lengthy pair of Homegrren and Hartenstein gilg Alexander runs things with G to his side and it’s Williams at the three turner looking around as Denise Smith is looking for him and pardons him hallebertton for three gets the three-pointer to fall hallebertton’s got 45 points coming into the league scouts had some uncertainty about Hallebertton’s jumper mostly because of the way it looks to push shot out front but show he’s more than capable as a shooter and sometimes as a point guard you got to take things into your own hand yeah right it’s okay to be selfish when you have a chance well if he’s calling his own number there’s a reason for it they respect the decision making from him out there albertton outside pocket six indiana needs to get a shot and the rejection by Hren here’s Dort and the layup’s good off the glass dor’s got 26 dort can be streaky but man when he gets in a rhythm they’re going to start to find him hallebertton passes to Nemo turner for three gil Alexander pulls it in and you could tell he thought that triple was going to fall it’s a nice passing by Oklahoma City williams shot is off for Indiana they’ve gone one and three from the four since the start of Smith yes and the foul that one on Gil Sha and the combination of his quickness and soft touch around the rim really allows him to pull off shots like that a lot of players don’t have the reverse in their arsenal [Music] [Applause] and Gilgus Alexander’s got the ball here for the Oklahoma City Thunder outside [Applause] to Hartenstein now here’s Homer just five to shoot williams outside buries the long range jumper he’s got 25 man I’ll tell you what the pressure is cranked up who better to call than this guy and Rick Cornwall decides to call timeout and clearly an important junction he’s going to have some choice words with his team you see you know what to do just under two and a half minutes passed here in this overtime nimhard shot is good that play never gets old the pick and roll will still be an offensive staple a 100red years from now trust me [Applause] sets the screen for Gilis Alexander pascal Seakum grabs the miss seakum’s got rebound number 10 with that last one and Denise Smith and here’s Hallebertton takes the three sinks the three-pointer hallebertton’s got 48 and Hallebertton looks absolutely unfazed by the moment jones again good that’s another bucket you see how easily he’s getting buckets to be this hot must be a heck of a feeling no doubt and get this he’s now tied for the third most points in a playoff game ever alongside Donovan Mitchell who got 57 in the bubble back in 2020 [Music] save it out of favor [Applause] yeah good play on the front end to finish despite getting hacked there and big on the back end to hit the free throw seiak inside working on homegr with the nice bucket inside seakum’s got 23 points oh huge basket by Seakum and we’ve seen this before in the final and it’s sent back by [Applause] Turner now here’s N alexander cover and the foul called on Pascal Siaka that’ll be his second foul of the game and a whole great defense there anticipated the play and got there first trailing by three outside gil [Applause] Alexander the rebound by Hallebertton indiana’s gotten six points by way of the three-point shot in overtime they’re two of four on their attempts from deep and delivering in the clutch here with zero fear running the ball real good and that tacks another big point onto the lead great and one play showing us now a little bit of that killer instinct just Alexander against Alberta it falls and now they trail by just four burton outside pass to Siak fade away it’s rebounded by Oklahoma City here’s Dort outside for Gilg Alexander connects again and that bucket looks as wide as the Pacific Ocean he just can’t miss a phenomenal offensive exhibition now he is tied the alltime story mark for points in the playoff game and the great Michael Jordan may stand alone but not in this category shot clock at six here’s that’ll be two free throws coming up officials on the call with the f and so he’s picked up his final thumb and he will sit for the rest of this game and luckily they’ve got terrible at that position if there’s one spot on the floor where they can afford to lose somebody that would probably be [Applause] it and he cannot get the first one to drop tough one to miss [Applause] he’s able to hit the second one and that will put them up by two and Mark Dagno calls timeout here pivotal moment in this game he’s not taking any chances he’ll call time what do you think we’re going to see here big chance here to tie it with a bucket they just need a solid play right now and coach going through his index cards to find one to get something going [Applause] gilas Alexander with it to tie it up again what an avalanche and that bucket if you can believe it sets a new all-time record for points in a playoff game craig the way he came out tonight you can feel the level of his focus he put his team on his back and has delivered an incredible offensive show and it was way back in 1986 that Michael Jordan set the record of 63 points and when you surpass the greatest of all time you’ve done something [Applause] [Applause] special and so we are tied again at the end of overtime now we’re headed to overtime number two and for 2K and with another overtime in front of us the question is who will blink first nobody wants to give in a lot of pride now on the [Applause] line here we go and play stops whistling what looks to be an illegal showing stings there hurts so much more to turn the ball over especially with how tight the game is and Indiana shooting so far very efficient all around about 55% [Applause] Allebertton outside shoots over Gilus Alexander and the Pacers can’t get it to go here’s Williams lays it up and despite of the excellent defense at bat Williams has got 27 again it’s Jaylen Williams he is in a groove playing with confidence just keep finding him he’s the best ammo overton outside tires for three caruso grabs the miss not quite enough defense that time around just lucky he was off they get it back outside for Gilas Alexander six on the shot clock and yet again Seakum grabs the miss seakum’s got rebound number 12 here already in the game a nice shot by Nith and Seakum showing off his vision with a nice pass oklahoma City trailer outside Williams back to Gilas Alexander shoots and it’s good off the back of the rim and in nice read as usual by Gilis Alexander [Music] and here is Mis to Nemo and Rick Corwle decides to call timeout he’s not taking any chances and wants to huddle him up right away here they come fans it’s your one and only girl [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] here’s Lee Smith it falls for the sixth time in seven tries this contest that’s 86% how about the inbound pass there easy bucket here’s Gilas Alexander finds the bottom of the bucket from 13 ft out and the jump shot has been a dimension of this game where they’ve had it outside that’s the Nemo against Hallebert here’s Seakum and again it’s Indiana well at that mid-range Seakum has a nice face up game outside Dort back to Gilus Alexander Oklahoma City moving it around and again for three and talk about stepping up he’s having a playoff game these fans will never forget that last three means he’s got the most threes in a single playoff game in franchise history smith can’t get it to go you know what though sometimes you can be too open i think you may have surprised him and that’s why he missed and foul on the shot so he’ll get a chance at the [Applause] line second [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] And that hurts as he doesn’t get the first one to fall trying to focus now on the second [Applause] That’s good going one or two from the line and that makes it a three-point lead and so here is Indiana [Applause] now right there you can see the impact of L so tough to defend once he gets to the spot [Applause] right on the first and that brings them within two hits him both oklahoma City shooting has been terrific 54% on the game here’s Bilis Alexander gets rebounded by Indiana seakum outside at the top of the key hallebertton nice move pass the Turner seakum [Applause] outside shoots over Caruso it’s good and this is how deadly Seakum can be when he’s cooking like this you just feed him and get out of the way and it’s Oklahoma’s finish ball and you hear this crowd they know he just set the three-point single game playoff record well they’ve seen lots of stars over the years but this guy he has the most threes in a single game for their team [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] gilg’s Alexander against Hallebertton here’s Le and a lot of contact on that one so he’ll shoot two here [Applause] first free throw is good and that will put them up by two [Applause] and so he drops them both it’s a three-point game here’s Gilgus [Applause] Alexander going inside count it and that shot brings them to within just one this Alexander going to celebrate that one you can probably expect to see him slow it down now yeah I think you want to milk [Applause] today by and there’s a foul on Alex Caruso that’s his third foul so far from the situation in effect so we’ll head to the line for two [Applause] he hits the first one and that will put them up by [Applause] two so he goes two for two at the line and it’s a three-point game well important there to have the three-point lead because only A3 can tie it up now and Mark Dagno calls timeout here this is a huge moment folks in this game and he wants to be prepared turning here to Orlando let those guys come to your mind and if you can get a three shoot it otherwise get the quick two and a foul don’t force something up you got to be smart here from deep gil just Alexander gets rebounded by Indiana with an intentional foul there stops the clock you have to foul but I’m sure they would have right to foul someone different so the first one drops and that gives them a four-point cushion [Applause] so against them both and it’s a five-point game and just like that this game is a two-possession affair no time to waste on this possession time is not on their side right now they’re aware and it’s still a rare sight to see rebound numbers like the one he’s had tonight well this kind of effort will energize the team and get you going just gobbling up every board [Applause] [Applause] he drops the first one and that increases their lead to [Applause] six second one is good getting both at the line and it’s a seven-point game and they’ve been a different team here in overtime they they just seem to have lost their energy nailed from three-point land so a close game sees Indiana take this one and this win puts them squarely in the driver’s seat in this series up now two zip with all the momentum on their side i mean
