The Indiana Pacers took a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals with a 116-107 Game 3 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night. In a back-and-forth affair, Indiana eventually pulled away after a brilliant defensive fourth quarter in its first home game of the series. The Pacers now have an opportunity to take a commanding 3-1 series lead in Game 4 on Friday night.
Neither of these cities has technically won a title. The Pacers have never won an NBA championship (though Indiana won three ABA titles in the 1970s), and the Thunder franchise won a championship as the Seattle SuperSonics in 1979, but the team has never won it all since moving to Oklahoma City in 2008.
The Thunder entered with home-court advantage in the matchup since OKC had an NBA-best 68 wins in the regular season and was the top seed in the West. The Pacers went 50-32 in the regular season and were the No. 4 seed in the East.
