Huge block by Myles Turner to change the game. His 5th of the game.
Key players to finish this one: Mathurin and Turner, two guys Watford engaged with before being ejected.
After two FTs from TJM, Pacers have their largest lead (4) with 18.2 left. – 9:44 PM

Mathurin has had a huge week. Three straight games with 22+ points starting in place of Haliburton.
A couple big steals tonight, plus a CH 15 rebs.
And there’s nobody more competitive on this roster. – 9:39 PM

Nets have lost their composure to close this game. Several sequences that have been costly.
Mathurin to the line with three shots, which would tie the game. 14.2s left – 9:25 PM
