And their "no doubles" defense doesn't consistently work against someone like Durant and LeBron. Granted, Durant had an off 9/24 game against the Pacers the first time they played last year, but he put up 34 on 13/21 FG the second time in Indiana then he drops 36 on 14/23 shooting tonight; and LeBron averaged, what, 29 or 30 PPG on 50%+ shooting on the Pacers in the ECF last year.
But, to be fair, the Pacers were on the last game of a five game road trip and the second night of a back-to-back. Obviously OKC isn't this much better than them. However, I do agree that OKC is a tough match-up for the Pacers.
Oh, and Durant is now averaging 31-9-5-2-2 on 55/47/91 and 65% TS in five December games.
