With The Championship On The Line, SGA Did THIS...

With everything on the line, the Thunder found themselves at war. But in the middle of the chaos, SGA channeled his inner Rocky Balboa and put up a masterpiece in the clutch. We got it all, but let’s start from the beginning. With all the momentum on their side, the Pacers hoped to get a commanding 3-1 lead in front of the packed Fieldhouse arena. And they opened the game just the way they wanted - turning defense into offense and flying up and down the court. Everything was going in for Indiana, as they hit 9 of their first 12 shots to take a 9 point lead at the start. On the defensive end, they kept the same strategy on SGA from game 3, and that’s letting his fellow Canadian hound him all over the court, and funneling him into a double team whenever he tried to make a play. And with these 2 sitting courtside, what could possibly go wrong? Maybe they stopped Shai in the 1st quarter, but the Pacers didn’t have an answer for J-Dub. Williams took over the scoring load when Alexander was struggling, and with 12 of his 27 points in the quarter, kept the Thunder afloat. For Indy, it was Siakam who did most of the damage. But OKC got a big spark from their bench leader as well. Caruso played like a true veteran in this game. Super efficient on offense, and an absolute pest on the other side of the ball. And Alex continued impacting the game in the 2nd quarter. Obi Toppin didn’t like that so he body slammed him the next time down the court. So things got a little chippy from that point on, with Lu Dort returning the favor to Obi. However, the Pacers would finish the first half strong, going on an 11 to 4 run which got the fans jumping from their seats. Woow, in just 2 minutes Indy put up an entire hoop mixtape. And Haliburton gave his team a 3 point lead heading into the break by converting the and-1. This was actually Tyrese’s first free throw of the entire final series. That was shocking to me. Anyway, the Pacers were rolling at the start of the 3rd as well. In the meantime, despite the swarming defense by Nembhard, chasing him all over the floor, SGA somehow was able to find ways to be effective. (odbrana fileri reprizi na 6:54) This leads us to another electric sequence with Obi Toppin in the center of it all. Another huge game for Toppin with 8 of his 17 points in the quarter along with 7 boards on 58% efficiency. And he wasn’t done producing highlights. The entire arena erupts for the biggest lead of the game. And after going scoreless for 3 straight minutes, Jalen Williams finally ends the drought for the Thunder. However, the final period started off with another bang. Everything was pointing towards the Pacers, they had that extra juice flowing, while OKC was fighting hard for every bucket. It wasn’t pretty, but they clawed their way right back into it. The Goat as his teammates call him, tied the game with his 20th point of the night, to go along with 5 steals off the bench. An astounding performance for Caruso. And here comes J-Dub again in a period when Shai was struggling. He was essential for his team, and with 27 points relieved the pressure off of Shai’s shoulders. The game slowed down a lot and the court turned into a battlefield, with both teams throwing haymakers at each other. And after multiple trips to the line, Hali and Shai were right back at it. Alexander knocks down his first 3 of the night in the heat of the moment. So, can they make a stop on the other end? Caruso disrupts Andrew’s shot and now the Thunder have a chance to take the lead. An extremely tough shot but the MVP gets his 9th consecutive point to drop, and we’re going down to the wire where the Pacers ran out of ideas seemingly… What a crucial strip by Dort on Haliburton and he draws the foul, splitting the free throws afterwards. And another stagnant possession on offense that got Indy looking like my Knicks. Ooohh that was ugly. So after a couple more empty turns on each side, we get to SGA forcing Nesmith to foul out of the game. Despite the harsh reaction, you can see clearly on the replay that he hit his shooting hand. Alexander used that to hit both free throws and bring his team a 4 point lead. With time winding down, can Tyrese work something out for the Pacers? A 2nd straight air-ball but luckily for them, Mathurin dives for the ball drawing the foul. He goes to the line with a chance to make it a 2 point game but somehow misses both shots, unbelievable. Things got from bad to worse for Indiana quickly, because… Ben commits an off-ball foul resulting with another made free throw by SGA to bump the lead to 5. But the drama ain’t over yet.
