The Oklahoma City Thunder is headed home with an even series in the NBA Finals, fresh off winning the most important fourth quarter of its season.

However, what won the 68 games and got them to the Finals was their defense, and the Pacers torched that for a long stretch of Game 3. Indiana took better shots and capitalized on them, finishing with a 116 offensive rating (9.5 points higher than the Thunder allowed on average during the playoffs coming into the game).
