In the playoffs thus far, Mathurin has been averaging 11.1 points on .504/.326/.865 shooting splits, plus 2.5 rebounds and 0.7 assists. He's converting the aforementioned 86.5 percent of his free throws while attempting 4.7 takes per bout, which makes it all the more disconcerting that he couldn't nail his attempts late.

Mathurin missed last year's Eastern Conference finals because of a torn labrum. In Game 3, he led the Pacers to a 2-1 finals series lead.
