The series of course isn't over yet. I mean surprises can happen, we have seen it so many times. Sure, the momentum now is with the Thunder, but I don't think the Pacers don't care about that.
Nobody expects them to win, and that7s their biggest strength, no pressure. If a team has pressure it's OKC because everybody has the highest expectations in them, most like they expect it from themselves as well.
Game 3 will be crucial. OKC can take the lead in this series for the first time. If they take it I doubt the Pacers have a shot. SO in other words, whoever wins game 5 is in the drivers seat, especially if OKC takes it. Odd on the Pacers to win the series (after losing game 5) will be like 10:1 or something like that.

Indiana missed a true chance of getting ahead in the series. For 42-43 minutes the game had been under their control, but then Mark Daigneault took a time-out and changed the offensive play of OKC, making the adjustment that gave them the win. Idk if OKC has a bigger pressure than Indiana, they don't look like it. Especially SGA seems like he is playing in his courtyard with some friends rather than in the NBA Finals. Game 5 is crucial for both, as it has been for every NBA Final series. If Indiana wants to get the title, it will need to win this, and Halliburton will have to score more 3-point shots than 1/7. Btw, great defence from Chet Holmgren on him.

Pacers take their own medicine since they are doing this on the 2 games they won against OKC. OKC play the uno reverse card on today’s game by reserving Shai on the last quarter while Pacers is already tired on guarding OKC and maintaining the lead until the 4th quarter collapse.

This series is so interesting because both team is just playing mind games with strategy to beat each other.

Shai already find a way to remove tight defense on him by playing full force on 4th quarter.
