21 fouls on Pacers,  Only 12 on Thunder.  the NBA and ESPN got what they wanted from the refs, ensuring the 'marquee' team came away with a win. 

Free throw discrepancy was even worse. 

Still lost this game cause they couldn’t stop Adams or the Thunder bench. Did what they were supposed to against the Thunder little two and Westbrook.

I don't know that I've ever seen the road team shoot 5x free throws in any basketball game.  And this wasn't an issue of the Pacers giving fouls late, that didn't happen a single time.

OG rated #7 rookie in this cbssports take --

OG AnunobyTORONTO RAPTORS SF

Last week: No. 5
Stats this week: 6.3 points, 1.8 rebounds, 0.8 steals

Despite his modest offensive numbers, Anunoby continues to be an absolute net rating monster in the Raptors' starting unit. He led the team with a plus-25.9 this week in nearly 27 minutes per game as the Raptors went 3-1. The long, 6-foot-8 forward out of Indiana has consistently guarded the best player on the opposing team, but his 3-point shooting has been one of the most pleasant surprises of this rookie class. He was 5-for-9 from behind the arc this week and is now shooting 44 percent on the season. He's been able to make shots from his offensive home in the corners, but he's also started relocating to the wing when his defender sags into the paint and has proven that he can knock those down as well. Overall, the Raptors couldn't be happier with how their No. 23 overall pick is progressing.

Not bad for a guy who tore his ACL less than a year ago. Would've loved to have him instead of Leaf on the Pacers.
