Pacers and Thunder NBA Finals is better than it's 'small-market' billing
USA TODAY Sports' Jeff Zillgitt breaks down the star-studded NBA Finals between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder.
Sports Pulse
The Indiana Pacers are two games away from winning the franchise's first championship, thanks to an unlikely hero.
Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin scored a game-high 27 points off the bench in the Pacers' 116-107 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Gainbridge Fieldhouse to lift the Pacers to a 2-1 series lead. Tyrese Haliburton added 22 points and 11 rebounds and Pascal Siakam had 21 points, marking the duo's best scoring showing in the championship series so far.
The Thunder's big three — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (24 points), Jalen Williams (26) and Chet Holmgren (20) —combined for 70 of the Thunder's 107 points in Game 3, but the trio failed to get much help. Oklahoma City's bench was held to just 18 points, with eight points coming from Alex Caruso in 32 minutes of play.
The Oklahoma City Thunder will need to come out with a sense of urgency and protect the ball to avoid falling 3-1 to the Pacers. Teams in a 3-1 series deficit are only 13-285 in the NBA postseason and 1-37 in the NBA Finals.
Both teams will have little rest before Game 4, which tips off on Friday in Indianapolis. USA TODAY Sports will provide the latest updates, highlights, wild plays, analysis and more throughout the game. Follow along.

Stephen A. Smith was so busted playing solitaire during NBA Finals
Oh no, Stephen A. Smith. This is probably not what you what fans to be focusing on during a terrific 2025 NBA Finals now that the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers are all tied up. The ESPN personality and maybe future presidential candidate was at Game 4 of the series at Indiana's Gainbridge Fieldhouse to cover the contest, but fans on social media caught him on his phone while the game was going on. And to top it all off, it appears that he was playing the classic Solitaire game to pass the time. Advertisement Smith ended up responding to all the attention with a joke ... or maybe he was trying to point out that he was playing Solitaire while watching the game on his phone. But either way, there was a lot of attention paid to Smith not watching the game he was at. Let's run through these posts on X (formerly Twitter): It started with someone posting the photo of Smith playing Solitaire on his phone "How can you have all of these opinions while you're playing solitaire instead of watching the game @stephenasmith?" Smith then claimed he was playing during a timeout "Yep! That's me. Who would've thought….I can multi-task. Especially during TIMEOUTS! Hope y'all are enjoying the NBA Finals. This is going 7 games now, peeps! A video appeared to show he was playing during game action, though Smith then sent what appears to be a screenshot Kevin Durant seemed to make fun of Stephen A. Smith on Instagram Just amazing stuff here. This article originally appeared on For The Win: Stephen A. Smith plays solitaire during NBA Finals and fans were mad
