OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma City Thunder coach Mark Daigneault called the Indiana Pacers an acquired taste.

“We haven't played them a ton,” Daigneault said. “They're not in the West obviously. They play a very distinct style on both ends.”

After wasting an opportunity to win Game 1, the Thunder were left with a bitter aftertaste against the never-quite Pacers.

The Thunder devoured the Pacers in Game 2 Sunday, June 8, evening the NBA Finals with a 123-107 victory.
