NBA Finals Game 4 picks: Thunder vs. Pacers predictions
This was supposed to be a deciding NBA Finals victory for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Or so many experts predicted.
The Thunder, the No. 1 overall seed after a 68-win season, are quick, play a suffocating defense and have the league MVP in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The Indiana Pacers, who upset the No. 1 seed in the East in Cleveland — albeit playing without some of its stars because of injuries — and squeaked by the New York Knicks on come-from-behind victories, were not seen as the complete package. Still a year or two away.
Well, the Pacers are ready now. They're two wins from the franchise's first NBA championship with Game 4 on Friday, June 13, at 8:30 p.m. ET (ABC) in Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
