The Indiana Pacers delivered yet another shocker, clawing their way into a Game 7 showdown with the Thunder in the NBA Finals. Doug Branson is joined by Matt Moore and Haize to break down how Indiana flipped the script on OKC in Game 6. From brilliant defensive tweaks to forcing 21 turnovers—including eight from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander—the Pacers' grit and adjustments may have shifted the entire series. Tyrese Haliburton’s return from a calf strain without a minutes restriction added a heroic layer to Indiana’s story, especially after that steal-to-Siakam poster sequence.
On the other side, OKC's offense sputtered under pressure. Chet Holmgren was almost invisible, finishing with four points and minimal impact—a worrying trend that could haunt the Thunder in Game 7. Is this a moment for Jalen Williams or SGA to seize the superstar mantle, or will Indiana’s balanced attack and defensive intensity prove too much?
Later in the episode, the guys turn their focus to the NBA Draft, which might be spiraling into full-on chaos. Concerns around Ace Bailey's camp, skipped workouts, and smokescreens have teams nervous. Could he drop out of the top 10 entirely? Matt and Haize debate whether this will be a chalk draft—or one filled with shock moves.
