Indiana Pacers vs Oklahoma City Thunder

Game 3: Wednesday, June 12 – 10:30pm EST – Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Indianapolis
With the series shifting to Indiana, the Pacers will be looking to rebound in front of their home fans. Game 2 exposed cracks in their defense and ball movemen as OKC forced turnovers and dominated the glass.

Haliburton struggled under pressure and hasn’t showed anything spectacular besides the one basket to put them up in Game 1. Myles Turner’s matchup against Chet Holmgren becomes even more critical, as OKC’s length was a clear advantage through Game 2 as Holmgren found his footing after a poor Game 1.

Expect a tight first half in Game 3, but the Thunder’s defensive intensity and bench depth give them the edge down the stretch — even on the road.
