Pacers are 7-1 this postseason when they enter 4th quarter with a lead of 7+ points
the loss: home with double digit lead in ECF Game 3 against Knicks, when KAT stuffed Pacers with all-out effort and Pacers lost their way offensively.
Thunder are still here, down 89-86 with 9:28 left to play.
The thing I said would give the Pacers an advantage in this series is their utility. Anybody on their team can get into double-digits and defend well. No one player has to overwhelm you. It's death by a 1000 cuts. Thunder have a raw talent edge—but it still HAS to be on Shai for them to win. #NBASky
Chet *has to* work on speeding up his delivery this summer. The Pacers' closeouts don't need the extra second to get there, but they certainly appreciate it.
The Thunder are 4-8 this season when entering the fourth quarter trailing by at least seven points. Two of those wins came this postseason vs Memphis and Denver.
Jalen Williams with a couple of foul shots and a tough make right at the quarter to keep OKC within hailing distance down seven, but now the Thunder have to make that count. Twelve minutes from a nigh-on-insurmountable deficit. Whaddaya got, Thunder?
