The Indiana Pacers are two wins away from their first NBA title, thanks to their bench and defense in Game 3 against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The NBA Finals scoreboard is what it is — Pacers 2, Thunder 1 — going into Game 4 of the best-of-seven title series on Friday night. Everybody can count to four, and everybody can see that Indiana is in a better position right now than Oklahoma City,

That resiliency will be tested yet again, after the Indiana Pacers beat the Thunder, 116-107, on Wednesday night to take a 2-1 series lead in these finals. Game 4 is in Indianapolis on Friday night.
