The Thunder tied their series with the Nuggets, while the Pacers blew out the Cavaliers in Game 4. Here are our takeaways from the action.

The Pacers won Games 1, 2 and 5 at Rocket Mortgage Arena to help secure their spot in the Eastern Conference Finals. Indiana needed to battle back from a 12-point first-quarter deficit. Tyrese Haliburton's three-point shooting played a huge role in clawing back into the game.

It would have been easy to envision the Cavs rallying around an altercation in the 1st quarter of Game 4. Instead, the Pacers rolled to a blowout win.
