22+32, Pacers exposed their biggest weakness! Siakam is miserable, Carlisle is unforgettable

The Thunder played against the Pacers at home on June 17. At the end of the game, the Thunder successfully defeated the Pacers 120-109. After the game started, the Pacers played very passively. In this case, the Thunder once led by 18 points, but the Pacers played very toughly in the game, especially when the Pacers showed surprises like McConnell, the Pacers slowly narrowed the score difference, and in the fourth quarter, Siakam also stood up, so the Pacers once chased after only 2 points. Unfortunately, the Pacers made too many mistakes in the subsequent game, so the Thunder directly opened the score under the leadership of Alexander and Jewish, and the Pacers missed the chance to reverse and lose the game.

After this game, the Pacers also exposed their biggest shortcomings, and the Pacers' biggest shortcomings are their mistakes. In this round of the series, the Pacers' mistakes have always been high, and the Pacers paid a huge price for this game. After all, when the Pacers chased after two points in the fourth quarter, Nemhard and Halliburton began to make mistakes. In this case, the Thunder directly counterattacked and opened the score. It can be said that if the Pacers did not make such a mistake, the Pacers could really complete the reversal. Unfortunately, the Pacers were unable to control the mistakes. In the end, the Pacers made 22 mistakes in this game, and the Thunder used the Pacers to make 32 points. It can be said that when the Pacers were given such data by the Thunder, it was not unfair that the Pacers lost the game.

Although the Pacers lost the game, Siakam really tried his best in this game. You should know that Siakam has been playing very stably in this round of series. Siakam played very well in this game, especially when the Pacers were in trouble. Not only did Siakam hit a three-pointer from the outside, but Siakam was able to seize the opportunity to misalign and break into the inside to score. It can be said that Siakam's performance is already quite outstanding. Unfortunately, other Pacers players, especially Nemhard, if it weren't for his frequent mistakes, the Pacers would really have been able to complete the reversal. So when such a situation occurred, Siakam was really miserable. After all, Siakam had done what he should do. In the end, Siakam scored 9 of 15 shots, 28 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

At the same time, the Pacers lost the game, and Carlisle was also to blame. You should know that McConnell played very well in this game. If McConnell had not performed well in the third quarter, it would have been difficult for the Pacers to see a chance to reverse, but McConnell did not play in the fourth quarter. Although many people thought that Carlisle did not play McConnell for defensive reasons at this time, in fact, Nemhard and Halliburton were unable to defend the Thunder's offense. On the other hand, their mistakes were to make the Pacers pay a huge price, and McConnell had already performed extremely well on the offensive end, so Carlisle should let McConnell play in the morning, and it was too late to let McConnell play when the Thunder opened the score.

And Carlisle's use of Bradley was also questioned a lot in this game. Although part of the reason for Carlisle was because Turner was in trouble for fouls, Bradley did a poor job in the inside defense and protection of rebounds on the court. Bradley's performance really shouldn't have received so much playing time, so Carlisle was really to blame for losing the game. After all, Carlisle did not do well in detail in this game. Of course, Halliburton also needs to be responsible for losing the game. Even if Halliburton plays with injuries, when Halliburton becomes a drag on the court, Halliburton might as well sit on the bench to rest. In the end, Halliburton made 0 of 6 shots and scored 4 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 turnovers in this game, with a plus-minus value of -13, which is the second lowest in the team.
