Indiana Pacers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jan 23, 2026

Indiana's 39-point opening quarter proved decisive in a 117–114 road victory over Oklahoma City, as the Pacers seized early momentum that the Thunder could not fully overcome despite a second-half surge. The combined 67 points in Q1 set the tone for a game that ultimately landed at 231 combined points, pushing 4.5 points over the 226.5 market total; DAGGER's pregame UNDER call missed.

The Pacers' hot start masked what became a grinding second quarter—just 44 combined points flowed in Q2 as both offenses stalled. Oklahoma City outscored Indiana 25–19 in that frame but trailed 58–64 at halftime. The Thunder regained footing after the break, matching the Pacers' offensive pace in a combined 63-point third quarter that kept the deficit manageable. The fourth quarter tightened further (57 combined), with OKC's 29 points nearly matching Indiana's 28, but the Pacers' first-quarter cushion held firm.

Andrew Nembhard led Indiana with 27 points, 11 assists, and 7 rebounds, while Jarace Walker added 26 points. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 47-point performance for Oklahoma City—his fourth straight dominant outing—came alongside Chet Holmgren's 25 points and 13 rebounds, yet fell short of erasing the early deficit. Indiana's recent struggles defensively (allowing 114.9 per game over ten games) were offset by the Pacers' uncommon offensive efficiency in the first half, a sharp contrast to Oklahoma City's typical 118-point pace.
