Event Statistics

Description

In a tightly contested game in which neither team led by double-digits, the Pacers surged in the fourth quarter to reclaim the series lead. The Thunder opened out to an early nine-point lead behind hot starts from Holmgren and Dort, who combined for 22 of the team's 32 points in the first quarter. However, Indiana's bench shifted the momentum in the second quarter. Bennedict Mathurin scored 14 points in the frame, while T. J. McConnell energized the team with four assists and three steals during the period. The game remained close, and a 6–0 Thunder run in the final minute of the third quarter gave Oklahoma City a five-point edge entering the fourth. From there, the Pacers took control. Indiana shot 13-of-21 from the field in the final period, while limiting the Thunder to just 35% shooting and forcing five turnovers. With the score tied at 98 and under seven minutes to play, Tyrese Haliburton scored or assisted on 10 of the Pacers' 14 points during a decisive 14–6 run that gave them an eight-point lead with 1:09 remaining—a lead they would not relinquish.

Mathurin finished with a game-high 27 points on 9-of-12 shooting in 22 minutes off the bench, marking the most points by a reserve in the NBA Finals since Jason Terry scored 27 in 2011. Mathurin was supported by McConnell (five steals, five assists) and Obi Toppin (six rebounds, two blocks), helping Indiana dominate Oklahoma City 49–18 in bench points. Haliburton nearly recorded a triple-double with 22 points, 11 assists, and 9 rebounds, while Pascal Siakam added 21 points, giving the Pacers three 20-point scorers in the game after having none in the first two games. Jalen Williams led the Thunder with 26 points on 50% shooting. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander contributed 24 points but struggled with turnovers, posting four assists against six turnovers, marking his first game of the postseason with a negative assist-to-turnover ratio. Holmgren added 20 points, going 6-of-9 inside the arc but missing all six of his three-point attempts.

The Pacers won their tenth straight game following a loss, dating back to March 15. The Thunder, who went 61–2 when leading going into the fourth quarter in the regular season, fell to 1–2 in such situations in the Finals.
