With the win, the Thunder tie the series up before heading to Indiana.
Ideally, they would’ve wanted to win both home games, but tying the series up at least balances everything out. The Thunder proved their capable of starting strong in this series. The main key is to just maintain that lead, and avoid disasters like their Game 1 loss. We’ll see if the Thunder can use this win as motivation to propel ahead in the series.
Meanwhile, the Pacers lose Game 1, but they’ve managed to win at least one game on the road before heading back home.
Indiana has proven they can keep up with the Thunder’s high-powered offense. But they need to be the ones starting strong for once if they win to wish this series. Not every win will be a comeback, and you really don’t want to be playing from behind all the time. We’ll see if they can make the proper adjustments when they head back home.
The series heads to Indiana for Games 3 & 4, before heading back to OKC for Game 5. However, should the Pacers win Game 2 in real life, there’s the possibility they could end the series back at home, preventing a Game 5 in the first place. But we don’t think the Thunder will let that happen, as we look forward to seeing the real results this weekend!
