T.J. McConnell discusses the Pacers’ preparations for Game 4
T.J. McConnell is averaging 9.1 points and 4.1 assists during the NBA Playoffs this season.
The NBA Conference Finals got off to an unexciting start as both the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers burst out to a 2-0 series lead. However, after both the Minnesota Timberwolves and New York Knicks took a game, things are starting to spice up. What was considered a likely Pacers-Thunder finals has suddenly started looking like a mystery, and it has fans excited.
Will Shai Gilgeous-Alexander take the Thunder to their second-ever Finals? Will Anthony Edwards etch himself among the greatest Timberwolves of all-time? Out East, would a Finals appearance elevate Tyrese Haliburton over Reggie Miller among all-time Pacers? And is Jalen Brunson great enough to overcome an early 2-0 series deficit?
These are the questions fans need answered by the end of these playoffs, and watching the remaining games will certainly help fans find those answers. Here’s the complete NBA playoffs schedule, including results and broadcast information.
