Jalen Williams, now you see him, now you don't, as he spins to the basket.

Timeout with OKC leading 8-2.

 

[Mainstreet]

I get distracted for a moment and the Pacers lead 15-12.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with the Pacers leading 24-17 after Haliburton knocks down a three.

I bet the Knicks regret giving Toppin away for second round picks.

They're the Knicks, they don't regret it but they should. They've made so many mistakes that giving Toppin away doesn't even rank in their top 10 mistakes recently.

If you don't see the influence CP3 had on Shai then you haven't seen either play. The way he drives in and step backs to the FT line for a middie is like textbook Chris Paul.

 

[Mainstreet]

McConnell is playing well and needs to take that inside shot.

The Pacers have taken over the game and lead 64-42 at halftime.

 

[Proteus]

The Pacers have taken over the game and lead 64-42 at halftime.

So we're heading for a game 7 then.

So we're heading for a game 7 then.

If the score holds up. Momentum feels tangible for Indiana.

 

[Mainstreet]

T.J. McConnell seems to pump oxygen to the team.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I just looked at the score and holy crap! Awesome. Looks like we’re either getting the greatest second half comeback ever to win a title or a Game Freaking 7!

Come on Game 7!

idk how but hali's on his way to the coveted 20/10 that typically puts indiana in victory lane - from mri to mvp

Thunder are scoreless in the 3rd quarter and Pacers only have 2 points with 8:06 left.

 

[Mainstreet]

OKC is barely functioning as they trail 70-42. They are still scoreless in the 3rd quarter.

 

[Mainstreet]

The words Rick Carlisle is a good coach stuck in my mind today coming into the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

No letdown for the Pacers. They lead 90-60 after three quarters.

Indiana has won every quarter.

 

[GatorAZ]

Indiana is going to rule the east for a while.

 

[Mainstreet]

It looks like there will be a game 7.

If so, it will be on Sunday, June 22nd at 5 PM Arizona time.

Empowering the role players, the recipe has been there at the latest after Heat's run to the finals under Butler's leadership.

 

[Mainstreet]

Indiana is going to rule the east for a while.

And they are loaded and have learned how to play defense.

 

[Mainstreet]

Carlisle wanted a drink and his cup was empty. That's something that needs to be fixed.

 

[Mainstreet]

On to game seven of the Finals.

Again, it will be televised on Sunday, June 22nd at 5 PM Arizona time on ABC.

Final:

Pacers 108 - Thunder 91

 

[Hoop Head]

Haliburton stepped up. I still say think OKC in game 7 but this a good bounce back game.
