Pacers' Bennedict Mathurin Makes NBA History in Game 3 vs. Thunder originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Game 3 did not feature the result the Oklahoma City Thunder wanted.

The Thunder pulled ahead early following a 32-24 first quarter. However, the Pacers stormed back. The decisive part of this game was the fourth quarter for Indiana. The Pacers outscored the Thunder 32-18 in the final frame to maintain the homecourt advantage they stole in Oklahoma City.

The Pacers wing led all scorers in Game 3 with 27 points. That helped him set some NBA history in the process. According to Sportsnet Stats, Mathurin set the new mark for most points off the bench by a Canadian in an NBA Finals game. The Pacers youngster eclipsed the previous mark held by Kelly Olynyk, who had 24 points in Game 2 of the 2020 NBA Finals. Advertisement Mathurin shot an efficient 9-of-12 from the field in the victory. That included 2-of-3 from the 3-point line. The Canadian wing also connected on 7-of-8 free throw attempts in this game. After only dropping 5 points in Game 1 of the series, Mathurin has now registered double-digit scoring outings in back-to-back games for the Pacers. The bench spark plug scored 14 in Game 2, leading up to this 27-point performance in Game 3. Mathurin is playing in his first playoff run with the Pacers after missing last year's trip to the Eastern Conference Finals due to injury. The Thunder would be wise to not let the young scorer pick up momentum as this series progresses.

Resilient Mathurin stars in Pacers win
Bennedict Mathurin of the Indiana Pacers shoots the ball over Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in game three of the NBA Finals (POOL) Bennedict Mathurin's game-changing performance in game three of the NBA Finals felt like a long time coming, but the 22-year-old Canadian made sure he was ready when the opportunity arrived. Mathurin came off the bench to score 27 points in Indiana's 116-107 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday, which gave the Pacers a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven championship series. Advertisement In 22:24 minutes on court through the second and fourth quarters, Mathurin was a brutally efficient nine-of 12 from the field, making two of his three three-point attempts and seven of eight free-throws, adding in four rebounds an assist and a blocked shot for good measure. "Just staying ready," Mathurin said. "Whenever my number is called, go into the game and do the right things and try to help my team win -- that's the whole mindset." Mathurin is playing in the playoffs for the first time, after watching the Pacers' run to the Eastern Conference finals from the bench in the wake of season-ending surgery in March of 2024. Even then, the Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said, the 22-year-old Canadian was looking ahead. Advertisement "He was with the team. He just wasn't playing," Carlisle recalled. "He took a lot of notes, a lot of mental notes, and he may have written some things down. "I do know that after he sustained the injury, it was either in February or early March, you can order these calendars that start on a specific day and then they count days. "So there was a calendar sitting in our training room and every day he would come in and take one off, take one off. He was counting the days down to being cleared sometime in August and then be able to begin training camp, begin five-on-five with our guys in September and then be in training camp, really, with his eyes firmly set on an opportunity in the playoffs. "So he's putting a lot of work to be ready for these moments, and tonight he was an absolute major factor." Advertisement Mathurin said he was "fortunate to learn a lot" in what was an unfortunate situation last year but he admitted that it wasn't easy. Playing in the Finals, in front of the intense fans in Indianapolis, "is a dream" but one he doesn't want to get caught up in. "I'm not trying to live in my dream," he said. "I'm trying to live in the present and make sure the dream ends well, which means winning next game and winning a championship." bb/rcw
