The Oklahoma City Thunder, days after letting go of a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter of Game 1, ensured that its once 23-point Game 2 lead couldn’t be overcome. That’s the kind of cushion required against these Indiana Pacers.

Tyrese Haliburton scored 17 for Indiana, which erased a 15-point, fourth-quarter deficit in Game 1 but never made a push on Sunday. Myles Turner scored 16 and Pascal Siakam added 15 for the Pacers, the first team since Miami in 2013 to not have a 20-point scorer in the first two games of the finals.
