Tyrese Haliburton remains confident in the Indiana Pacers' ability to rebound in the NBA Finals after their Game 4 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he also acknowledged their missed opportunity on Friday night.

However, what won the 68 games and got them to the Finals was their defense, and the Pacers torched that for a long stretch of Game 3. Indiana took better shots and capitalized on them, finishing with a 116 offensive rating (9.5 points higher than the Thunder allowed on average during the playoffs coming into the game).
