Apparently, it was just a warmup. During the franchise’s first Finals run since 2012, the Thunder’s scoring defense has been even stingier — allowing just 106.3 points per game compared with 107.6 over the first 82 games — while yielding fewer than 100 points in half of their 12 postseason wins.While Indiana has not matched those numbers, they eliminated three teams — New York, Cleveland and Milwaukee — that each averaged more than 115 points during the regular season. In 16 playoff games, they held those three teams below their averages 11 times.

Naturally, Thunder coach Mark Daigneault has been taking notes.“If you look at this playoff run, you’ll see how challenging they are for their opponents, and the way they defend contributes to their team identity. It’s not just offense,” he said. “Their defensive philosophy is very much aligned with their offensive philosophy, so it creates a certain air to the game when you play against them. It is difficult to play against, as you can see from the way that they’ve really run through the Eastern Conference to get here.”Both teams are young, rely on deep benches to wear down opponents late and feast on turnovers. The Thunder average a postseason best 21.3 points per game off turnovers while the Pacers are second at 18.5.

But with so much focus on the high-scoring, up-tempo offenses, it’s easy to overlook their defenses or worse — see it as a glaring weakness.A year ago, Indiana gave up 120.2 points per game in the regular season. This year that number dropped to 115.1, and in the postseason it’s down to 113.3.

Indiana’s top three defenders — Aaron Nesmith, Andrew Nembhard and Myles Turner — are all relatively healthy now.

Nesmith missed 2 1/2 months with a sprained left ankle before returning in January and working his way back into game shape. He sprained his right ankle in Game 3 of the conference finals against the New York Knicks but played in each of the final three games.of the 60% needed to pass.

Attorneys for the campaigns Florida Decides Healthcare and Smart & Safe Florida have argued the new law makes gathering enough petitions from voters prohibitively expensive and effectively impossible.In his order, Walker wrote that the new provisions have caused “an immediate reduction in protected speech” by constraining the campaigns’ ability to collect petitions — and volunteers’ willingness to help. But Walker said the campaigners didn’t prove that their free speech rights had been “severely burdened.”

“Instead, the record shows that these provisions simply make the process of getting their proposed initiatives on the ballot more expensive and less efficient for Plaintiffs,” Walker wrote.But there are still free speech concerns to address as the lawsuit moves forward, Walker noted: “this Court is not suggesting that Plaintiffs are not likely to succeed on their First Amendment challenges to the new deadline and associated fines.”
