They said small markets can’t deliver classics—well, this Finals is proving otherwise.

They talk Halliburton’s clutch gene, why this OKC run is more impressive than any MVP season, and how this unpredictable series might come down to Game 7 fireworks.

D-Wade, Bob, and Chris unpack what Indiana has to do if they want any shot at stealing one. It starts with adjusting—fast. OKC’s gameplan changed midgame (twice), and Indiana never caught up. Tyrese went into iso mode, and that’s not their strength. Meanwhile, OKC’s pressure only grows at home. The ball is in their stars' hands, and role guys know the assignment: screen, roll, space, stay ready. The guys ask—can Indy steal another, or did they just give the juice back to OKC?

In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, Bob, and Chris Johnson break down Game 4’s turning point—when OKC stole back momentum with a gritty, physical fourth quarter.
They get into the Uno reverse moment: OKC down five, then flipping it with smart coaching, SGA slipping traps, and Jaylen Williams getting downhill. Indiana had it—until missed free throws, fouls, and Siakam disappearing late.
They spotlight OB Toppin’s growth, McConnell’s chaos, and why Carlisle’s schemes nearly stole the game. But SGA’s clutch burst and OKC’s defensive switch-ups sealed it.
This Finals is chess, not checkers—and Game 4 just reset the board.
