What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Tony East @TonyREast
OKC’s drive-heavy style currently doing its thing. They’re getting to the rim and punishing the Pacers. It’s 15-11 OKC early, timeout Pacers. – 7:20 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Lu Dort draws a second illegal screen then gets to the rim to give OKC a four point lead at this Pacers timeout. – 7:18 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Josh Giddey again gets leverage and seals off Turner at the rim. Been saying on Locked On Thunder his swing skill is inside the arc scoring since August. It’s been huge this past month. – 7:17 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Good early signs from Myles Turner considering his finger injury.
– Took the first shot.
– 2 for 2 at the FT line.
– Just comfortably sank an off-balance jumper.
The Pacers missed their veteran center last game. – 7:17 PM

Really nice move by Gordon Hayward using the behind the back to free him up for an elbow pull up and-one. Hometown hero gets the start for OKC. – 7:16 PM

Like seeing Josh Giddey continue to take advantage of mismatches and finish T the rim. – 7:14 PM
