| 0:13.2 | Coming up, the NBA Finals is moving back to Indianapolis with the series tied one-one |
| 0:18.5 | between the Thunder and the Pacers. |
| 0:20.3 | And our guy, Scott Agnes from Fieldhouse Files, is here to break down everything you need to know for game three. |
| 0:30.4 | The NBA finals had shifted to Indianapolis and a bunch of people, I think, had an arduous trip because apparently there's no direct flight from Oklahoma City to Indianapolis.
