I think the game turned when Carlisle put a compromised (right calf injury) Haliburton back in the game and took out TJ McConnell, who was playing well for them with 18 pts off the bench. He didn't get back in the game; Carlisle said he was fatigued. Haliburton probably had his worst game as a pro, 0-6 from the field, 0-4 from 3, and 4-4 from the line for 4 pts. Those 22 TO's, which turned into 32 pts OKC scored on, certainly didn't help. JDub had 40 pts. He has had a great series for the Thunder. He's been the 2nd best player behind the MVP. I think this series is effectively over now.
