For three and a half quarters, the Indiana Pacers were stuck in an ebb and flow with the Golden State Warriors, one the Warriors seemed in control of. The surprisingly low scoring nature of the game seemed to favor Golden State, especially as Stephen Curry, despite an 11-point third quarter, had not really put his stamp on the game to that point.
The Pacers still played tough, taking an 85-82 lead into the final stretch of the game when Curry and Draymond Green returned for the Warriors. They immediately swung the game, helping the Warriors to six straight points go up three.
