He almost remaked the blow to the Thunder. In third quarter, TJ McConnell Has jostled Oklahoma City and gave a second breath to Indiana, who was generally dominated since the start of the game.
The playmaker replacing pacers played a little less than seven minutes in this quarter. Time to register 13 points and deliver two assists. Then, he is still on the prosecution at the start of the last act, before going out after 70 seconds.
“It was excellent in the third quarter and put it back in fourth was normal”,, slide Rick Carlisle. “He was aggressive. He's like that “continues Pascal Siakam. “It allowed us to have a good dynamic. It really helped us, to put us in position to fight in this meeting. He made a big game. »»
“He was really tired”
Why then take it out, if TJ McConnell (18 points at 8/14 in the shoot, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in 22 minutes) had such a positive impact? “He was really tired. That's why I took it out ”replies the Pacers coach. “There was an action at the beginning of the fourth quarter when he looked exhausted. »»
Except that this choice is not trivial since not only was the replacement very good, but to take it out, it is to bring in a Tyrese Haliburton decreased and overall incapable of weighing on the debates.
“Tyrese has returned and with him, the group experienced a good passage”recalls Rick Carlisle, even if it will not last since the Thunder will make the difference in the last minutes.
