Haliburton finished the game with 22 points in nine out of 17 goals, including four points. After 11 assists, he also rebounded away from a triple-double. On the defensive end, Halliburton also had two steals and a block.
But it turns out that the series needs to show the depth of the bench, while Pacers guard Benedict Mathurin faces the challenge.

Meanwhile, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander didn't shoot his best day by his usual standards, as Indiana continued to hit a solid defense against him throughout the game, resulting in nine points off the floor. He scored 24 points, had eight rebounds and four assists, while Jalen Williams led Oklahoma City with 26 points that night.
Chet Holmgren won the double-digit, although he hoped he would score 20 points on 15-shot 6. He has 10 rebounds and two assists.
The Pacers were able to drop 40 points in the second quarter, but that was the Thunder's lead with an 89-84 record.
However, Oklahoma City's offense scored 32-18 in the fourth quarter, a team's unprecedented 12 minutes, which was colder than what they were able to achieve throughout the season.
