Indiana dominate 4th quarter and win first NBA Finals home game in 25 years.
The NBA Finals is where legends are born, and the Indiana Pacers showed just that, with their bench lighting up the scoreboard for 49 of their 116 points! Ben Mathurin dazzled with a career-high 27 points, shooting an impressive 66.7% from beyond the arc. Despite a few hiccups—14 turnovers for Indiana and 19 for Oklahoma City—the Pacers outclassed the Thunder, outscoring them 32-18 in the paint. With stars Siakam and Haliburton combining for 43 points, Indiana holds a convincing 2-1 lead. Can the Thunder rally back on Friday night? Game 4 will be another classic NBA Finals game.
