Having reclaimed the homecourt advantage, with the momentum back with OKC, this now puts the Pacers in a very difficult situation. They will need to win 2 games, at least 1 in Thunder territory. And that should be doubly difficult now.

Is Haliburton More Horry-fic Than Horry?
Tyrese’ glorious buzzer-beater run will probably go down in history as the greatest ever in the history of the sport. This will long be remembered as the buzzer beaters that shook the cage world this season. But here’s the catch. All that ecstatic feeling goes down the drain if at the end of it all, the Pacers do not win the coveted NBA title.

The Pacers may be young, but they are showing us a refreshing stability under immense pressure.

What an Action-Packed NBA Playoff This is Turning Out To Be!
Two former champs – the Nuggets and the Warriors – are banking on their veteran cage IQ to bring them to the next stage. The defending champs Celtics, on the other hand, are not (yet) showing any championship smarts in their series. This is a golden opportunity for the upstarts in the playoffs to learn, albeit on the fly, if they are to compete for the bigger battles ahead. Indeed, the playoff duels are a different set of games. And it will take more than just raw talent, physical strength and youthful exuberance to make it to the top.
