Dan Devine: Rick Carlisle on Tyrese Haliburton, who finished with four points on 0-for-6 shooting in 34 minutes where he looked very hampered by a calf issue: “He’s not 100%. It’s pretty clear. But I don’t think he’s gonna miss the next game.”

This feels like Game 1 all over again. OKC has mostly been in control, got up big, but the pesky Pacers clawed their way back.
To within four with 9:19 to go. And that’s with just 2pts from Haliburton, who’s battling through the pain. – 10:51 PM

This must be devastating to watch for Indy fans. They had control of G4 and look like they’d have a great shot in this one with Haliburton healthy. – 10:36 PM

87-79 after 3. Pacers only in it because TJ McConnell scored 13 in the quarter. Haliburton only with two FT’s.

Lu Dort is still face-guarding Haliburton in the half-court.
But Haliburton doesn’t appear to be looking for his shot, just trying to find/create gap in the defense. – 10:06 PM

Pacers cut their 18-point hole to 14 just before half, 59-45.
Haliburton has been hurting since 5-min mark of 1Q, he’s 0/5. If he’s limited, it’s going to be tough.
OKC outscored IND 12-0 in fast break points and 15-1 in points off turnovers. Siakam has 10pts. – 9:45 PM

That was a loud & intense 1st here in OKC. Loudest it’s been.
Pacers trailing 32-22 as OKC is 4/6 from 3 on top of their success in the paint. Tony Bradley helped during his spurt. Pacers hurt by 7TOs and Carlisle not happy with officials. Haliburton only starter yet to score. – 9:10 PM

That was unbelievable effort by Bennedict Mathurin to go and chase down Alex Caruso and save a bucket. And a credit to Tyrese Haliburton for delaying Caruso just enough so Mathurin could get there. – 9:00 PM

Rick Carlisle was very courteous of the officiating over the weekend. After a on-call on an Andrew Nembhard put back attempt, Carlisle made sure he got a necessary technical foul. – 8:52 PM

Rick Carlisle gets an early technical foul, wanting a foul on Nembhard’s attack.
Also…trying to change the game.
OKC on a 18-5 burst. They’ve scored 16 of 22pts in the paint. – 8:52 PM

Rick Carlisle just got a tech and his assistant coaches had to hold him back.

Carlisle might not be singing this crew’s praises postgame like he did Scott Foster. – 8:51 PM

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said he prefers the 2-2-1-1-1 format of the Finals, believes it’s more “pure” than the 2-3-2.
He was on the competition committee that had it changed after 2013. – 7:13 PM

Pascal Siakam has been the Pacers’ steadying force — on the court and in the locker room. After Game 4 slipped away, his voice is one they listen to.

Scott Agness: Tyrese Haliburton is back from the locker room after being evaluated by associate head athletic trainer Carl Eaton. Had a head pack applied to the back of his right calf — the same one where he’s been using kinesiology tape. -via Twitter @ScottAgness / June 16, 2025
“He works his tail off to get to where he is,” Haliburton added. “I’ve said it many times, but every NBA team wants to have a guy like Aaron Nesmith. His effort is unbelievable. His energy. His attitude, all of those things. I know he’s going to show up every day and be the same guy. I think that’s what I appreciate about him the most.” -via Clutch Points / June 16, 2025
Dan Devine: Rick Carlisle on TJ McConnell: “He was great in the third. Put him back in earlier than normal. He was very tired, that’s why we got him out. And I think there was a play early in the fourth where it looked like fatigue had set in there.” -via Bluesky / June 16, 2025
Tony East: Jarace Walker is off crutches but unlikely to play in the NBA Finals, Rick Carlsile says. -via x.com / June 15, 2025
Tony East: Full quote on Walker: “He is doing better. He is off crutches and he is walking with a slight limp now. So it’s very unlikely that he’ll be able to play in this series. But he is doing better. It would be great if he was available because I do think he would help us.” -via x.com / June 15, 2025
