Heading back to Paycom Center for Game 5, the Oklahoma City Thunder must outperform an Indiana Pacers team who thrives in road environments.

Any follow-up to a Game 1 road win is typically difficult for the visitors, yet the Pacers showed they weren’t willing to settle for a 1-1 split in New York. Pascal Siakam went nuts with 39 points, and this performance ultimately helped him win the Larry Bird Eastern Conference Finals MVP.

The result was only the second clutch game the Pacers lost this postseason, a 111-104 Thunder win that ties the series up at 2-2. What has been a highly entertaining, well-played Finals will see Game 5 Monday night in Oklahoma City. It also feels like a series that is going to go seven games.
