Last night the Indiana Pacers completely steamrolled the Oklahoma City Thunder 152-95, a differential of  57 points. After the demolition, the final margin of victory set the record for the largest road win in NBA history outdoing the previous record by one point.

Check out the Pacers-Thunder boxscore here.

The previous record occurred just three seasons ago when the Chicago Bulls were destroyed by the visiting Boston Celtics by fifty-six points. The final score was an ugly 133-77 on December 08, 2018.

Back to last night where the Pacers jumped out on the young Thunder team ending the first quarter by outscoring the OKC 42-29. After three quarters, Indiana led by 66 points and the lead would grow to as high as 67 points.

Even though the Pacers would still outscore the Thunder in the fourth, the Thunder would chip away at the lead some; making for the final margin. Even with the impressive win and the largest margin of victory for a road team ever, the 57 point differential ranks only 8th all time.  The NBA record for the biggest blowout is actually eleven points more when the when the Cleveland Cavaliers blew out the Miami Heat by 68 points in 1991.

Even with the Oklahoma City Thunder pulling off one of the best tanking strategies in recent memory, no one would have guessed that the team would have been steamrolled by this many points. Going into the game, the Pacers were certainly favored, so if you put money on this, this most definitely covered at all the sites listed at CasinoGap.org.

The Indiana Pacers were led by all-star forward Domantas Sabonis’ triple-double of 26 points, 19 rebounds and 14 assists. Doug McDermott scored 31 points, Caris LeVert added 25 points and Oshae Brissett scored 16 points and pulled in 13 rebounds.

The Thunder who starts the youngest lineup with no player older than Isaiah Roby who is 23 years old were led by Moses Brown’s 16 points and 7 rebounds . The embarrassing loss adds to the franchise’s troubles; having lost 15 of the 16 games they played on their April schedule.
