Thunder COLLAPSE in Game 3 | Suns' Demands RUINING Durant Trade Options | Should Spurs Go All-In for KD?

On today’s episode of Locked On NBA, the Finals are heating up and the Pacers just made a serious statement. Matt Moore and Haize to break down Indiana’s 116–107 win over Oklahoma City in Game 3. They dive into how Rick Carlisle’s mid-game adjustments and the Pacers’ bench—especially Ben Mathurin’s breakout 27-point performance—completely wore out the Thunder’s young core. Matt argues Carlisle out-coached Mark Daigneault by targeting Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and grinding him down through relentless pick-and-rolls, while Haize points out that OKC just wasn’t ready for Indiana’s relentless aggression.

Later in the show, the panel dissects the rapidly evolving Kevin Durant trade situation. What can Phoenix realistically expect in return, and is the San Antonio Spurs’ rumored interest worth the gamble? The hosts debate whether KD should be a first, second, or even third option on his next contender—and whether any team can realistically build a Finals squad around him at this stage.

Finally, the Knicks coaching search continues to get weirder. Billy Donovan and Quin Snyder join the long list of denied interview requests. Is James Dolan sabotaging his own team again?
