Top 5 viral moments from Indiana Pacers vs Golden State Warriors game


#5. Chris Paul gets thrown out with less than 10 seconds left

It was a frustrating night for the Golden State Warriors, especially in the fourth quarter. The Warriors tried to mount a comeback and trimmed a 17-point lead to seven points with less than four minutes left in the third quarter.

The game was very physical, but the referees let the players play on for most of the final period. Chris Paul was very frustrated with the lack of calls and was called for a technical foul with less than a minute remaining.

Paul was still yapping a Tony Brothers with 10 seconds left, so he got called for a second technical foul and was tossed.

#4. Klay Thompson does the 'Shimmy'

Klay Thompson was feeling it early in the second quarter, hitting a 3-point shot two minutes into the period. He celebrated the shot by doing the "Shimmy" as the Golden State Warriors led 48-41.

It would have been better had the Warriors won the contest, but at least Thompson is back to having fun. However, some Warriors fans might use Klay's "Shimmy" as a scapegoat for why the team lost to the Indiana Pacers.

#3. Jonathan Kuminga alley-oop poster slam on Myles Turner

Jonathan Kuminga had an off night against the Indiana Pacers, going 4-for-17 to finish with just 11 points. He had eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block, so it wasn't a terrible performance.

Kuminga also had a poster alley-oop slam on Myles Turner late in the fourth quarter. He caught a pass from Draymond Green and hammered it home to cut the deficit to nine points.

However, the Golden State Warriors failed to capitalize on the momentum generated from the poster.

#2. Tyrese Haliburton sinks shots beyond the arc to end 2nd and 3rd quarters

Tyrese Haliburton has an unorthodox shot, but it does not prevent him from being a good shooter.

His quick release makes it tough to block, which was the case at the end of the second and third quarters. He had six points in two shots, a difference-maker in what was a close game in the fourth quarter.

Here's the shot to end the first half:

Haliburton didn't beat the buzzer in the third quarter, but his high-arching shot was a backbreaker:

#1. Myles Turner breaks Pacers franchise record for blocks

Myles Turner became the all-time leading shot blocker in Indiana Pacers franchise history in the third quarter.

He recorded his 1,246th block to break Jermaine O'Neal's record. O'Neal had a recorded message for Turner, who has been with Indiana since 2015.

Turner blocked Jonathan Kuminga to break the record. It was a typical Turner block, coming from the weak side to pin the ball on the backboard. He's averaging 1.8 blocks per game this season and had five against the Golden State Warriors.
