OKC Thunder Lose Close Game Down The Stretch To Indiana Pacers (107-100)

Coming into this game the Thunder already lost one to the Indiana Pacers this season. The OKC Thunder had to make some adjustments in this game if they wanted to pull the victory out at home. The last meeting the Pacers and Thunder had Myles Turner didn’t play. This go around the Pacers had Myles Turner and they looked extremely good. Steven Adams started the game off strong with 10 points and was able to set the tone for the Thunder. The last couple of games Steven Adams has been very aggressive and he’s shown that when healthy this type of play is what we could expect. Tonight the Pacers had no answer for “Big Kiwi” as he was able to dominate the paint with ease. Adams finished with 20 points and 9 rebounds on the night to lead the Thunder. All of Steven Adam’s teammates have seen a difference in his game as he’s finally getting over battling those injuries. We have yet to see what the Thunder team can look like with a fully healthy squad. The Thunder had 4 players in double figures tonight against the Pacers. Danilo Gallinari helped out tonight as he finished with 18 points from the field. When Gallinari is able to create space for his jumper it’s hard for any other team to stop him. Gallinari started off the 3rd quarter with back to back 3 pointers and was able to get the good looks he’s needed. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was able to add 16 points on the night as it took him a little while to get into his scoring mood. Both Shai and CP3 struggled from the field tonight but their teammates have helped them out big time.
