George booed in return to Indy
Thunder forward Paul George said he expected boos in his first game in Indiana since the Pacers traded him this past offseason. Well, he was right. Not only was George booed during pregame introductions, he was also booed every single time touched the ball throughout the game. It seemed to work, as George had one of his worst games of the season, but the Thunder held on for the win.

Jaylen Brown, cleared for takeoff
There's not much you can do when a guy takes off from outside the lane, other than tip your cap and get out of the way.

Steven the dunking machine
It's safe to say that Thunder center Steven Adams took some high-percentage shots in the first half against the Pacers. He threw down five dunks in the first 24 minutes.
