Tuesday Bolts - 11.11.08
The Thunderworld — ... Ball Don't Lie, Behind the Box Score: It really did come down to concentration. The Pacers were always a step behind as Oklahoma City made the extra dribble which led to the extra pass which seemed to lead to the easy lay-in or earned trip to the free throw line.

They were just up against the champs. [...] This team now has something to build on. The goal, and EXACTLY what there is to overcome ... ...

Pierce finished with 22 points in the final frame, during which the C's tightened the defensive vice and hopped on their captain's back. ...
