A topic for each of these four shocks on the roads is that they were close matches. While the Pacers team detonated thunder in game 6, it will be surprising if they did it again in the PayCOM center, in front of the Oclahoma City City crowd.

All of the above will suffice.
To win, Indiana needs to take care of the ball and not to allow the defense of Oklahoma City to dictate the pace. If they can create their fast -paced style, without turning the ball, then every opportunity to overcome thunder and becomes the fifth team in the history of the American Professional League to raise the cup after the Game 7 wins in the square of their opponents.
