Concerning NBA Finals Trend Haunting OKC Thunder Against Indiana Pacers

The Pacers got several key performances to help propel them to the Game 3 win. Tyrese Haliburton just missed out on a triple-double with 22 points, 9 rebounds, and 11 assists.

Pascal Siakam also pulled his weight with 21 points, six rebounds, four assists, two blocks, and 1 steal. Bennedict Mathurin added 27 points off the bench for the Pacers too.

All of this helped Indiana get the push they needed when trailing the Thunder. In all fairness, the Pacers are more than familiar with falling behind in this series despite the 2-1 lead.

According to Keerthika Uthayakumar, "The Indiana Pacers are up 2-1 in the NBA Finals. They've only led for 10.7% of game time (20.6 minutes). Their largest lead of the series is 9."

This is a trend that appears more than par for the course for a Pacers team that is used to making their fans sweat this postseason. Indiana has signature come from behind victories in all rounds of their NBA Playoffs journey so far.

The Pacers secured comebacks against the Milwaukee Bucks, Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks, and the Thunder. Each time, they have left their opponents shocked and stunned.

The Thunder will have to approach every remaining game without remorse. Giving the Pacers any signs of life will only result in disaster.
