OK. We have a series now.
OKC dominant win tonight. -5 at Indy game 3
Game 2 takeaways
OKC pros:
*Defensive stops when needed vs. last game
*Scored and answered even after Indy run of 10 or 12 to get back momentum(did not happen game 1)
*Defensively as usual with the rebounding and TO edge
*SGA took less than 30 shots and got his team involved. 8 assists vs 3 last game.
OKC cons:
*Win- still not a shut the front door type win. Up by 22 yet close a cover one possession for Indy in garbage time.
Indy takaways:
* 10 less turnovers
* Bench support was not there this game vs last game.
*Haliburton showed up in the 2H after the lead for OKC was established.
*Between Haliburton and McConnell driving and AUTO passing in the lane created a predictable offense for OKC to defend.
Going into game 3:
OKC defensive rating on the home vs road is 97.2/114.4, respectively. Clearly, a challenge for the young OKC team. Offensively, 121.8 home vs. 115.9 away. Score less away and give up more points away.
Conversely, INDY defensive rating away 113.2 vs 117.4 at home. Give up a little more points at home but not as drastic as OKC. Offensive rating 117.1 home vs 115.9 away.
Line is -5 OKC.
OKC may win but angle for Pacers to cover at home.
OKC is 0-6 ATS on the road these playoffs. Indy is 5-3 ATS at home. 1-1 as home dogs. Dreaded 5pt dogs.
