11 straight scoreless possessions for the Thunder going back to the last 3 of the 1st half. Pacers up 28 & OKC not looking like a team interested in coming back from that kind of deficit.

12 combined possessions before we got the first score of the 2nd half. That's a good thing for the team that was up 22.

That was just the 2nd time this season the Thunder went an entire half without a steal. Other time was 1st half @ MIL on 3/16.

Number of ball screens that SGA & Jalen Williams set for each other... Game 1: 1 Game 2: 2 Game 3: 0 Game 4: 9 (including 7 in the 4th quarter) The 9 is tied for the most screens they've set for each other in their 3 years together. via Second Spectrum

Pacers playing Siakam at the 5 (until he picked up his 3rd foul) late in the half allowed them to run some Haliburton/Siakam actions that the Thunder couldn't just switch. Worked pretty well.

Haliburton totally shook SGA out of his shoes & he still came back and purloined the ball.

I'm fascinated by Caruso's decision not to double. He stunted at Haliburton, but chose to retreat to Siakam diving to the rim, maybe because he didn't trust that help was there.

Pacers... 1st half: 45 points on 54 possessions (0.83 per). 2nd half: 66 on 47 (1.40 per).

Rough 1st half for the Pacers' offense (45 points on 54 possessions), but I enjoyed the "create confusion by setting all the screens at once" play that got Nesmith a corner 3.

OKC starting small (Wallace instead of Hartenstein) puts their most effective lineup on the floor & gives them much more mobility defensively. It could also allow the Pacers to put Nesmith (instead of Nembhard) on SGA. www.nba.com/news/nba-fin...

Really wasn't a fast-paced 2nd quarter, but teams combined for 63 points on 44 possessions (1.43 per). It was the third quarter in this series in which the Pacers (33 on 22) scored at least 1.5 ppp.

Dudes need a cup when they contest Anunoby at the rim. Dude kicks that leg out like Ralph Macchio.

Haven't watched all 99, but this certainly feels like the Knicks' best defensive game of the season.
