The Pacers star shared a heartwarming moment right after the team's electric Game 3 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder
THE INDIANA PACERS In 49 states, it's just basketball. But this is Indiana. And in Indiana, there's magic. The Pacers lead the NBA Finals 2-1 after a 116-107 Game 3 win over the Thunder in which they outscored Oklahoma City 32-18 in the final quarter.
However, what won the 68 games and got them to the Finals was their defense, and the Pacers torched that for a long stretch of Game 3. Indiana took better shots and capitalized on them, finishing with a 116 offensive rating (9.5 points higher than the Thunder allowed on average during the playoffs coming into the game).
