Indiana Pacers vs OKC Thunder Game Summary

The Indiana Pacers visited the league-leading OKC Thunder on Saturday. Indiana, which lost 120-114 in the first encounter in December, hoped to avenge the loss against the best defensive team in the NBA.

The Pacers kept up with the Thunder 29-27 by being ultra-aggressive from behind the arc. They went 6-for-15 from deep to counter OKC’s efficient 4-for-6 shooting from the same range. Tyrese Haliburton led the charge for the visiting team with nine points, all from 3-pointers.

The Thunder bounced back by shutting down Haliburton in the second quarter. They held Indiana to 0-for-5 shooting from deep and forced four turnovers. Behind a balanced offensive attack, they took a 61-49 halftime lead.

Oklahoma's highly-touted defense continued to suffocate Indiana in the third quarter. The Thunder offense erupted for 41 points to push their lead to 102-80 entering the fourth quarter. OKC shot 5-for-8 from deep in the period, a key reason for their dominance.

The Thunder kept pounding the Pacers in the final quarter. OKC coach Mark Daigneault sent in his second-stringers with still five minutes remaining to complete the job. Oklahoma cruised to a 132-111 win.
