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.

What’s Next After the LA Lakers’ Shock Exit?
The Lakers could not sustain their superior ball because fatigue caught up with their maxxed out starters. JJ relied heavily on his first 5, failing to optimize his rotation, opting not to make adjustments particularly late in games.
