Daimport s arrogant mistake, Mitchell failed to win 15 points and reversed the defeat

On June 6, the flames of the NBA Finals ignited at the Thunder's home court. However, a thrilling contest was finally reversed by the Pacers with a slight disadvantage of the Thunder 110-111. In the first half, the Thunder set a record with a tide of steals and attacks, 12 steals, and firmly strangled the throat of the game like a wall of iron. Daimport's strait was slightly underestimated, which actually made Ajay Mitchell join the second quarter rotation, but this did not affect the Thunder's gaining the upper hand with its indestructible defense. However, the situation suddenly changed in the second half, and the Thunder's defense strength dropped sharply. The Pacers seized the opportunity and staged a Jedi counterattack in the final quarter, breaking free from the abyss that was 15 points behind. With Halliburton's quasi-killing blow in 0.3 seconds, they won the victory fruit. Before the game, public opinion generally regarded this showdown as the peak collision of the strongest "spear and shield", but ignored the Thunder's equally sharp offensive firepower. So far in the playoffs, the Thunder averaged 117.1 points per game, while the Pacers are a strong team that drives defense with offense. In the first quarter, the Thunder forced the Pacers to make 9 mistakes, scoring only 20 points in a single quarter, while the Thunder easily scored 29 points, of which SGA scored 12 points, becoming the team's vanguard on the offensive end. At this time, Daimport may have thought of underestimating the enemy, which laid the groundwork for the subsequent reversal.

In the second quarter, the Thunder's three-point line feels cold outside the three-point line. Dort became the team's three-point line hero with three-pointers in a single quarter, while SGA made four consecutive three-pointers and only hit one goal. Although the three-point shooting percentage in the first half was not high, the Thunder continued to stabilize their position with their tenacious defense, with a maximum of 12 steals in the first half, setting a new record in the finals in the team history. The Pacers made consecutive mistakes, with 19 mistakes in the first half, paving the way for the Thunder to win. SGA scored 19 points in the first half, leading the team to make great progress.

The Pacers changed sides and fought again. Under Carlisle's careful training, the Pacers made proper mistakes and controlled the whole team together. They made only two mistakes in this quarter, and the three-pointers also sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, hitting a 31-28 offensive, narrowing the gap to 9 points. In terms of the Thunder, SGA is still brave, scoring 28 points in the third quarter, but the performance of Javi and Homgren is not satisfactory. In the last quarter, when SGA was off the court, the Thunder made a 9-3 climax, expanding the lead to 15 points, forcing Carlisle to request a timeout. However, the Pacers did not give up and responded to a 15-4 offensive, instantly narrowing the gap to 4 points. At the critical moment, SGA and Jewei stepped forward, broke through continuously and scored points, stabilizing the situation. However, Halliburton's knockout foul put SGA on the free throw line, while the Pacers narrowed the gap to three points with two three-pointers. At the critical moment of life and death, SGA failed to make a foul, and Sika scored at the basket to narrow the gap to 1 point. SGA's key mid-range shot missed, while Halliburton staged a quasi-final victory in 0.3 seconds, winning a soul-stirring victory for the Pacers.

The whole game, SGA contributed 38 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. Jewe scored 17 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds. Dort and Dort scored 15 points, 4 rebounds and 11 points and 6 rebounds respectively. Hartten also scored 9 points and 9 rebounds.
