While OKC didn't give up a double-digit lead like it did in Game 1, the Thunder played arguably their worst quarter of the Finals on Wednesday night, getting outscored 32-18 in a 116-107 loss, giving the Indiana Pacers a 2-1 lead in the series in the process.

The Indiana Pacers are two wins away from their first NBA title, thanks to their bench and defense in Game 3 against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

In Wednesday night's Game 3 of the NBA Finals, the Pacers were simply better than the Oklahoma City Thunder in a 116-107 victory in a raucous Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
