NBA Finals Game 3 box score, stats: Indiana Pacers pull past OKC Thunder to go up 2-1
INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Pacers didn't need a miracle. Their fortune was perpetual, a series of winning plays to keep the Thunder under water. Obi Toppin's putback dunk. TJ McConnell's red-faced frenzy, in which he stole approximately 19 inbounds passes. The attention that caused any one of Oklahoma City's 17 turnovers. The 3-pointer Aaron Nesmith made with just minutes remaining while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander trampled. Advertisement These were just a few of the winning plays the Pacers stacked, handing the Thunder a 116-107 loss. Indiana now leads the series 2-1. It started in the second quarter. McConnell began his reign then, feisty and disruptive, outplaying the Thunder squad through his first few minutes. The Pacers scored 40 points in the period. Despite entering the fourth quarter with a five-point lead and as much momentum as a visitor can buy in Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the Thunder melted away late. In the fourth quarter alone, OKC was outscored 32-18. Indiana shot 61.9%, dominant next to the Thunder's 35.3%. And the Thunder turned it over, continuously, watching as the Pacers crept away with as sure a win as this series has allowed them.

Caitlin Clark's Appearance at NBA Finals Draws Indiana Fever Reaction
Caitlin Clark's Appearance at NBA Finals Draws Indiana Fever Reaction originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Game 3 of the NBA Finals is taking place on Wednesday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, and it is an opportunity for the Indiana Pacers to take control of this series after their stunning Game 1 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Advertisement With a few days off before the WNBA's Indiana Fever host the defending champion New York Liberty, a few of their players decided to head to Gainbridge to enjoy the NBA championship series. Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston and Natasha Howard, who make up part of the Fever's impressive core, were seen sitting courtside for Game 3 on Wednesday, and the Fever noted their appearance with a post on X. Clark has been out for the past two weeks due to a strained quad. Although she sat out at Tuesday's loss to the Atlanta Dream, she has been ramping up her activity, and a return on Saturday seems possible. The Fever have also been without guard Sophie Cunningham, who has been out lately because of an ankle injury. Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham (8) and guard Caitlin Clark (22).Photo credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images If Clark ends up playing on Saturday, it would present them with an opportunity to put together a statement win over Sabrina Ionescu and company. They currently have a 4-5 record, while New York is at 9-0. Advertisement The Pacers overcame a 15-point deficit in the fourth quarter of Game 1 and claimed a victory when Tyrese Haliburton hit the game-winning shot with 0.3 seconds left. They then fell in Game 2, 123-107, but thanks to their improbable Game 1 win, they're still very much in this championship series.

Pacers take 2-1 lead in NBA Finals as Tyrese Haliburton nears triple-double against Thunder
The Indiana Pacers took full advantage of the homecourt, pulling away in the fourth quarter to defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder, 116-107, in Game 3. Indiana owns a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals series after stealing Game 1 thanks to Tyrese Haliburton's heroic last-second jumper to win it 111-110. And after a mediocre performance for the Pacers in Game 2, Haliburton turned it up from three-point territory to lead the way for Indiana. Haliburton finished the game with 22 points on 9-of-17 shooting, including four made threes. He was also one rebound away from a triple-double after tallying 11 assists. On the defensive end, Haliburton also had two steals and one block. But this series has proven to be one that requires bench depth to show out, and Pacers guard Benedict Mathurin was up for the challenge. Mathurin dropped 27 points, leading the Pacers in that category after going a highly efficient 9-of-12 from the field with 7-of-8 made free throws over 22 minutes of work. He also had four rebounds and one assist for his squad. Pascal Siakam was also in the 20-point club, going 8-of-14 from the field with 5-of-6 made free throws for 21 points with six rebounds, four assists and two steals. Meanwhile, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander didn't have his best day shooting by his usual standards, going 9-of-20 from the floor as Indiana continued to play solid defense on him throughout the game. He had 24 points with eight rebounds and four assists, while Jalen Williams led Oklahoma City in the points department with 26 on the night. Chet Holmgren notched himself a double-double, though he wishes he had more than 20 points after going 6-of-15 shooting. He had 10 rebounds with two assists as well. The Pacers were able to drop 40 points in the second quarter, but it was the Thunder leading after three quarters, 89-84. However, Oklahoma City's offense went cold in the fourth quarter as they were outscored 32-18, an unprecedented 12 minutes for this team compared to what they've been able to accomplish all season long. Both sides had similar stats as a team, but Indiana, once again, turned it up when it mattered most in the fourth quarter. Indiana hopes to create an even bigger divide in this series in Game 4 on Friday night in their building.
