PACERS/THUNDER

The NBA Finals match up is set. Indiana Pacers vs Oklahoma City Thunder. 

The Indiana Pacers are a fast paced team, who move the ball well, and play good defense. The Pacers outscored the Knicks in game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals 41-10 in transition points and scored 34-13 points off turnovers. The Pacers have 5-7 players that score double digit points. 

The Oklahoma City Thunder play good defense, lead all playoff teams with defensive rating, are consistent, and play very well at home. In the regular season they were 36-6 at home and in the playoffs they are 8-1. 

The Thunder have a "big three" in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren. The Pacers don't have a superstar which is very interesting. Maybe a new trend in the NBA of not needing a "big three?" The Thunder are very deep too. They have Caruso who comes off the bench and plays good defense. 

The Thunder beat the Pacers both times they played each other in the regular season. The first game was 132-111 and the second game was 120-114.

Yes this series has two of the smaller market teams, but it should be a fun and exciting series to watch.
