End the 13-year wait! The Thunder defeated the Pacers at home to win the second victory in team history, and the Devils protected the body 1-1 at home

On June 9, after the NBA Finals G2, the Oklahoma City Thunder rebounded strongly at home, defeating the Indiana Pacers, and tied the series to 1-1! This victory not only allowed the Thunder to avoid losing streak, but also ended a long wait - this is the second time that the Thunder (including the Supersonic Age) has relocated to Osaka City, and has once again tasted the taste of victory on the finals stage after 13 years!

The last time the Thunder won in the finals, it can be traced back to the distant year of 2012. At that time, the youth team led by Durant (36 points), Westbrook (27 points and 11 assists) and Harden defeated the Heat three (105-94) with James, Wade and Bosh at home in G1. However, that finals trip ended with a 1-4 comeback. Full 13 years later, under the leadership of the new generation of Thunder core led by Alexander, the team finally defended glory at home again and won the second finals victory of the Oxford era.

The victory in this game once again confirmed the most terrifying stability of the Thunder's playoffs this season - they have never suffered a series of losses so far! After being reversed by the Pacers in the first game by 15 minutes and being beaten by Halliburton in 0.3 seconds, the Thunder showed strong adjustment ability and resilience, and quickly completed the rebound in G2 with a team victory, pulling the series back to a balance.

The Thunder's victory in this game also continued their strong performance at home in this year's playoffs. In 11 home games so far in the playoffs, the Thunder won 9 wins and 2 losses, with an astonishing home winning rate of 81.8%, making it a veritable "devil's home court". The solid home fortress is undoubtedly an important reliance for them to strive for the championship.

Although the first game changed the lineup (withdrawing center Haltenstein and enabling Wallace starter) failed to bring victory, the Thunder chose to trust the same starting lineup in G2. In the end, relying on the multi-point blossoming and better overall offense and defense led by Alexander, the Thunder successfully suppressed the Pacers, known for their small lineup, and won this crucial victory.

13 years of waiting finally ended, and cheers from the fans of the Oxford City resounded throughout the stadium. With a total score of 1-1 and the steel will of "refusing to lose in a row", the Thunder is about to embark on two consecutive away games. Can you continue to be strong in Indiana and regain your home advantage? Can the power of the Devil's home court also show its power away? The suspense of the finals remains!
