NBA Finals
INDIANAPOLIS — From the streets of Montreal to the NBA Academy in Mexico to the star of one of the best finals games in the last decade. That’s the road Indiana Pacers reserve guard Bennedict Mathurin is on right now.
Mathurin scored 27 massive points off the Pacers’ highly potent bench, Tyrese Haliburton had his best game of the series so far, and Indiana took Game 3 of the NBA Finals from the favored Oklahoma City Thunder, 116-107.
Game 4 is at 8:30 p.m. Friday in Indianapolis. This is the only point in the series with just one day between games.
“The state of Indiana is about basketball, and this was the first time I really felt it,” Mathurin said. “As much as this is a dream right now, I am trying not to live in my dream. I am trying to live in the present and make sure this dream ends well.”
