Indiana Pacers Face Crucial Test: Can They Silence the ‘Fishy’ Critics in Thunder Game 5?

Remember, the Pacers have won several games down double digits in the second half in these playoffs, including the series opener of the NBA Finals. But, unlike Indiana with its high-octane offense, Oklahoma City’s defense saved its season. The Thunder held the Pacers to 17 points on 27.8% shooting (0 for 8 from 3-point range) in the fourth quarter. 

Of course, it was a typical 2024-25 NBA result for me. I bet the Pacers +6.5 in Game 4, and they did everything in their power to lose the game outright and blow the cover. Indy backup SG Bennedict Mathurin, in particular, is on my sh*t-list. This effing guy missed three of four free throws and committed two “away from play” fouls in the last 23 seconds.
