With about 18 minutes to go in the game, the Indiana Pacers trailed the Oklahoma City Thunder by 19 points. When the clock struck 0, the Pacers had the lead and the win.
What a game. It had it all. Drama. Narratives. Injuries. Adversity. It was a truly phenomenal basketball game, and it had a playoff atmosphere. The Pacers found it inside them to will their way back and win. It was as gutsy of a win as they come.
The difference down the stretch was the Pacers mixing it up. They closed much of the final minutes of the game with both Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner, something they rarely do.
