Built Ford tough There were nine lead changes and three ties in the fourth quarter.
“It was key moments that we had,” Granger said. “The score was kind of teeter-tottering back and forth, but when we needed the big defensive plays, we got them.” Oklahoma City shot 52 percent in the first quarter to take a 34-24 lead. The Thunder led 39-24 before the Pacers went on an 11-0 run to climb back into the game. During that stretch, Indiana held Oklahoma City scoreless for five minutes, and the Thunder missed 10 consecutive shots. Indiana trimmed Oklahoma City’s lead to 51-48 at halftime by holding the Thunder to 25 percent shooting in the second quarter. Two free throws by Granger tied the score at 58, then a pull-up jumper by Ford with eight minutes left in the third quarter gave Indiana its first lead since the opening period. A 3-point play Robert Swift put the Thunder up 78-77 in the final minute of the third quarter, but Foster made one of two free throws with 20 seconds left to tie the score at 78 at the end of the period.
