00:00the nba finals we are here and some people are saying like but we're lucky we even got to a game

00:04number five but you know what regardless of the outcome last night we told you we'd at least get

00:08a game number six back in indiana the only question was going to be joe ranieri who would

00:12have the series three to two lead well it turns out it was the oklahoma city thunder in a 120 109

00:18victory yesterday which saw an exciting fourth quarter and the pacers as they always do battle

00:23all the way back within two points after a pascal siakam three-point shot but it was the thunder

00:28carrying it down the stretch they get the win and the cover and the game goes over the total so

00:33yesterday we were lining this game up at game time here at the fan little sports book we had a nine

00:38point favorite here for the oklahoma city thunder and again they won by 11 points the total which

00:42opened up around that 224 and a half did drop at game time as well easily hitting that total with

00:47a big fourth quarter that saw 63 total points but the questions pop up we knew the home team would

00:54play better on their home court typically that's what they do but also jalen williams 40 points in

00:58this game sga 31 points in this game who was going to counter for the indiana pacers and early on

01:05tyrese halliburton gets the injury but he still ends up playing 34 minutes all of six from the floor

01:11which included all four from three-point range show only four points we can't have that if you're an

01:17underdog you need your best players playing in the biggest moments and the best they can we didn't get

01:21that from halliburton whether it was the injury or not we didn't get much out of him only four points

01:26you know what there was a point where i was like why is he even playing i think in the first half

01:33donnie halliburton on the court was minus 19 like he wasn't doing his team any favors by uh with the

01:41calf injury i'll tell you who was great was tj mcconnell who stepped up in a monster way there i think he

01:48had uh 13 of his 18 points in the third quarter he was a big reason him and siakam as to why they

01:54got right back into that game and made that crowd sweat again as they headed into the fourth quarter

02:00but he only played 22 minutes i i would have liked to see carlisle take caliber rest them you know what

02:07game six is coming here but unfortunately again it was all about the turnovers for oklahoma city this

02:14time they were able to convert turnovers into 23 of them in fact into 32 points so that was your ball

02:21game right there i don't know how that changes if halliburton is 60 50 which is what he looked like

02:28there but my goodness they got to do a better job of holding on to the ball

02:32game right there i don't know how that changes to you no matter how to do that

02:48you
