Former Gonzaga standouts Chet Holmgren and Andrew Nembhard faced off in Game 3 of the NBA Finals as the Pacers edged out the Thunder 116-107.

Think of the Chicago Bulls, who feature Nikola Vučević. He can shoot but cannot defend the rim. Think of the Atlanta Hawks, whose bigs can defend the rim but cannot shoot. You can get paid handsomely to do one or the other, but can you win on the highest level? Not if the most recent champions are indicators.

Always sleeping in his sneakers, it shouldn't be a shocker to learn about Chet Holmgren's love for the NBA playoffs. He's only been through two postseasons, but the 23-year-old has quickly developed a reputation as a riser with the lights bright.

The Indiana Pacers won Game 3 on their home floor, beating the Oklahoma City Thunder behind strong outings from Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam and Bennedict Mathurin to take a 2-1 series lead.
