With the series tied at two, the Pacers head back to Oklahoma City for Game 5 of the NBA Finals. Indiana has had a shocking run through these playoffs. Four games into the NBA Finals, they could easily be up 3-1 in this best-of-seven, even though they were big underdogs coming into the series.

Indiana coach Rick Carlisle offered an impassioned and somewhat unprompted defense of referee Scott Foster on Sunday, evidently aware of the mountains of online criticism that came after Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

The result was only the second clutch game the Pacers lost this postseason, a 111-104 Thunder win that ties the series up at 2-2. What has been a highly entertaining, well-played Finals will see Game 5 Monday night in Oklahoma City. It also feels like a series that is going to go seven games.
