The Thunder doubled down on defense It was a theme throughout almost the entire series. The Pacers simply couldn't take care of the ball. Oklahoma City's length bothered them mightily and the Thunder ratcheted up the pressure in the second half. The Thunder forced four turnovers in the third quarter, which swung the momentum in their favor for good. In the fourth, defense was the catalyst for a 12-0 run that featured a pair of blocks and another forced turnover. In all, OKC forced 21 turnovers for a total of 120 in the series. They added eight blocks for a total of 41. The Thunder boasted the league's best defense and showed it off in Game 7.
