Went off for 23p/12r & played 42 minutes tonight pic.twitter.com/tkh0BLbKVB The hot start fizzled for a moment, as the Thunder found 10 unanswered points in the paint in a 1:56 span. Oklahoma City found itself in front, 22-18, with 4:22 remaining in the first. However, the Pacers caught fire once again. Threes from Brogdon and Aaron Holiday, followed by a pair from McConnell, anchored a 16-6 run down the stretch to grab a 34-28 lead after one. The squad finished the frame 8-of-14 from deep. Two quick buckets from McConnell and Kelan Martin pushed the Blue & Gold’s lead to double digits in the second. From there, the squad maintained a comfortable lead for much of the frame. Brissett and Martin fought for rebounds like seasoned veterans. With 6:11 to play, the former Butler star snagged his third offensive board of the frame and tipped in a layup to grab a 53-41 lead.
