Kevin Durant, at 23 — a year younger than Jalen Williams is currently — drove baseline against a 27-year-old LeBron James in his second season with the Miami Heat. Durant felt he was bumped with a LeBron forearm.

INDIANAPOLIS — Maybe the most infamous no-call in Oklahoma City Thunder history came with 10 seconds left in Game 2 of the 2012 NBA Finals. Kevin Durant, at 23 — a year younger than Jalen Williams is currently — drove baseline against a 27-year-old LeBron James in his second season with the Miami Heat. Durant felt he was bumped with a LeBron forearm. No whistle came. The Heat grabbed the rebound and finished out a road win to tie the series 1-1.

Dort made five 3s at several key moments, had four first-half steals as part of that 19-takeaway barrage and then made what appeared to be the game-sealing block with 95 seconds left.

Mark Daigneault: "There were a crap ton of fouls. That's why there were a crap ton of free throws. I thought the referees did a good job." Thunder shot 38 and Pacers shot 33 -- 71 combined free throws.
