Pacers Regroup for Game 5 After Disappointing Loss in NBA Finals

The Indiana Pacers remain confident despite a frustrating loss in Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Thunder. Tyrese Haliburton expressed faith in his team, saying they must be ready to respond when their back is against the wall. The Pacers were outscored 31-17 in the fourth quarter, which saw the Thunder hold them without a field goal for most of the period.

Coach Rick Carlisle attributed the loss to an inability to secure rebounds and make key stops, as well as stagnation on offense. He praised Oklahoma City’s defensive performance, saying they made it difficult for the Pacers.

Despite the setback, Haliburton is looking forward to Game 5 in Oklahoma City, stating that his team must be prepared to play in a hostile environment. The Pacers had a strong offense with five players scoring double digits and are confident they can bounce back from the loss.
