After 2016, the NBA once again ushered in a tiebreak battle, with the Pacers playing against the Thunder at home

Basketball

In Game 6 of the NBA Finals, the Indiana Pacers easily defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder with a score of 108-91. This also allowed the Pacers to tie the series score when they were behind 2-3 and dragged into the tiebreak.

The Thunder could have won this game and defeated the Pacers successfully. However, the Thunder's overall performance in this game was forced to enter the tiebreak battle. After 9 years, the NBA ushered in its first finals tiebreak battle. In 2016, the Cleveland Cavaliers were led by LeBron James and trailed the Golden State Warriors by 1-3. With the outstanding performances of LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, the Cavaliers won three games in a row, defeated the Golden State Warriors through a tiebreak battle, reversed the series score and successfully won the championship. It was really not easy for the Pacers to win Game 6 of the Finals Series because Halliburton suffered a calf injury in Game 5, causing the team to lose the game and fell behind 2-3 in the end. Halliburton played in this game with an injury and only played 22 minutes, but he still scored 14 points, 5 assists and 2 steals.

Siakam made 6 of 14 shots, scoring 16 points and 13 rebounds; Siakam's multiple fast break counters and dunks also made the Pacers' morale surge. In terms of overall performance, if the Pacers win the championship, he will become the MVP of the Finals.

Pacers can win, and most of them rely on the outstanding performance of role players. Andrew Nembard made 5 of 7 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, scoring 17 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 steals. Obitoping made 6 of 12 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, scoring 20 points and 6 rebounds. Obitoping once again told the outside world that he is not only a dunker, but also a top three-pointer pitcher.

Veteran TJ McConnell shocked the whole game again, making 6 of 12 shots, scoring 12 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals. As the saying goes, "Liang Po is old, can he still eat?" He still needs a big bowl of food. TJ McConnell told us that this is called "there is an old family, as if there is a treasure". With such comprehensive data, the Pacers have the treasure. The Pacers were able to win this game mainly because they limited the Thunder's young Big Three. Alexander only scored 21 points and made 8 mistakes. Jaylen Williams made 6 of 13 shots and 0 of 4 three-pointers, scoring only 16 points. As for the inside, Homegren made 2 of 9 shots, only scored 4 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. This is far from the performance of the three players who often add up to at least 60 or 70 in the previous games.

Pacers' game is also full of intensity, that is, I allow you to perform well, but the starting core player must be pressed to death. The Thunder players did not give the opportunity to easily shoot three-pointers. In the whole game, the Thunder made 8 of 30 three-pointers, with a three-point shooting percentage of only 26%. In contrast, the Pacers made 15 of 42 three-pointers, with a three-point shooting percentage of 35.7%, which is a little higher than the Thunder.
