Thunder Come Back To Beat Pacers, 107-99
The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Indiana Pacers, 107-99, on Wednesday at Chesapeake Energy Arena.

After a second quarter where they only scored 16 points, the Thunder (44-31) found themselves down nine at halftime and potentially on their way to a sixth loss in the last seven games. Then, near the start of the third quarter and 10 points, Oklahoma City caught fire. Over the next six minutes of gameplay, the Thunder rattled off a remarkable 24-0 run, and while they did allow the Pacers (45-30) to creep back into the game, the margin never got smaller than five.

It was a much-needed win for Oklahoma City, who has hit quite the slide as the regular season draws to a close, and the team earned it on the back of Paul George, who scored a game-high 31 points on 12-of-25 shooting from the field. Steven Adams was close behind with a monster offensive performance by his standards, posting 25 points on 11-of-14 shooting and 12 rebounds in 35 minutes. Russell Westbrook recorded yet another triple-double with 17 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists, while Jerami Grant's 19 points made him the fourth and final Thunder player to reach double figures.

As for the Pacers, they made the same amount of three-pointers (13) and made one less field goal than the Thunder on Thursday, and the difference in the game ended up being their inability to get to the free throw line. And even when they got there, they couldn't convert, going 6-of-11 from the charity stripe. Bojan Bogdanovic lead the way with a team-high 28 points while going 6-of-9 from behind the arc, while Domantas Sabonis came off the bench to post a double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds in 31 minutes. Myles Turner posted a double-double of his own with 12 points and 14 rebounds in 31 minutes of his own.
