The third NBA final was a close story where Oklahoma led before the last quarter – but in the end Indiana drew the longest straw and won the home game with 116–107.
Indiana's fans could, in addition to the victory itself, enjoy that the Canadian Bennedict Mathurin delivered 27 points – the best of all – in what some mean is his single best match in his career.
The win means that Indiana leads the match series with 2–1 and is now only two matches from the team's first NBA title ever. The next meeting takes place on the night against Saturday Swedish time.
