Like they have for much of the season, the Indiana Pacers relied on various members of their team to earn the win in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

In Wednesday's game at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse, it was Bennedict Mathurin who stepped up for the Pacers in their 116–107 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Coming off the bench, Mathurin put up 27 points, four rebounds, and one assist in the Pacers' victory, marking the most points by a player coming off the bench in an NBA Finals game since former Dallas Mavericks guard Jason Terry scored 27 points in Game 6 of the 2011 NBA Finals, per SportsCenter.
