NBA Fast Break Classic | NBA Finals | Day 3

Today’s Objective(s): 15 Field Goals Made & 10 Assists

Recap & Overview:

OKC Responds, Indiana Looks to Defend Home Court

After Indiana’s stunning Game 1 comeback, Oklahoma City adjusted and dominated Game 2 from start to finish, ensuring that this series will return to OKC for Game 5. Tyrese Haliburton provided a brief spark, knocking down several buckets in succession, but the Thunder quickly shut down any chance of another late-game rally.

With the series shifting to Indiana, the outcome of Game 3 will be pivotal. The Pacers have been solid at home (5-2), while OKC has been more vulnerable on the road (4-3). Despite this, the Thunder have controlled 7 of the 8 quarters played so far, highlighting their dominance when they find their rhythm. Indiana must protect home court if they hope to keep this series competitive.

Fast Break Implications: Long Series Could Favor Deep Collections

Indiana’s Game 1 heroics and OKC’s Game 2 dominance have set the stage for what could become a lengthy series. If the pattern holds and Indiana regroups, this battle could stretch to six or seven games, which would put significant pressure on collectors’ lineups.

For those with deep collections—including legendary moments of star players—this extended series presents a distinct advantage. Fewer active competitors for daily and run-based rewards could create an opportunity for higher-tier payouts.

Regardless of how the remaining games unfold, this is shaping up to be one of the most compelling Finals in recent history. Let’s see if Indiana can capitalize on their home-court edge or if OKC keeps the momentum rolling.


Today’s Objective(s):

Fast Break Day 3 requires five (5) players who will make 15.0 or more field goals & accumulate 10.0 or more assists, which means each player will need to average at least 3.0 FGM & 2.0 AST. This is the third game of the series and there will be at least two more. Depending on your collection, you’ll have an increasingly sparse list of players available each day. This is one of those days where you won’t need five top tier players to achieve today’s objectives unless you’re pushing for the daily reward.
