NBA Finals G5, the Pacers and the Thunder usher in the battle of Tianwang Mountain. In the whole game, the two teams stretched the intensity from the first round. The Thunder, who played at home, firmly took the initiative in the game, and the score difference once widened to nearly 20 points. But the tenacious Pacers narrowed the score difference to 2 points in the last quarter. Jaylen Williams and Alexander stepped forward to stabilize the situation. In the end, the Pacers lost to the Thunder 109:120 and lost to the King of Heaven.
First half: Thunder is as powerful as a rainbow!
1. Haltenstein dunked and Nesmith took a step back and shot, opening the curtain for the two teams' offense. The two teams got into the state very quickly, with each other on both offense and defense, and the scores were alternately ahead. The Pacers were blocked for three consecutive offensives, and Jaylen Williams continued to efficiently output on the offensive end, directly stopping the Pacers. Carlisle started a quick change early, Nemhard hit the basket, and Dort made a clear foul, but the referee chose to ignore it, which caused Carlisle on the sidelines to be furious! And he got a technical foul. And taking advantage of this wave of offensive, the Thunder opened the advantage to 10 points! McConnell, Toppin and Mathering helped the team keep a close eye on the situation.
2. When the second quarter came back, there was another problem with the Pacers' offensive end, and several mistakes occurred. Carlisle could only use substitutions to change the passive situation. However, the Thunder's three-pointer was hot, and Wiggins made a long shot, and the score difference remained in double digits. The Pacers made just one mistake, Jaylen Williams took advantage of the situation to score five points in a row, and Carlisle called a timeout again! Homgren attacked and defended, Alexander attacked, and the score difference was further widened! Mathering made a tip-in, and the Pacers were 14 points behind after halftime.
Halftime summary
The thunder returned to the home court was full of momentum, and the state on both offense and defense continued to be online. Especially the shooting feel of the outside, 8 three-pointers and nearly 50% of the shooting percentage not only preserved the team's leading advantage, but also suppressed the Pacers' counterattack many times. More importantly, Alexander, the core of the team, has not yet fully exerted his strength, but is relying on Jaylen Williams to lead the team forward.
From the process of the game, although the Pacers were behind in the score, the team did make a lot of preparations. Unfortunately, I made too many mistakes, and 10 mistakes in the halftime were frustrating. The Thunder have a very strong ability to use mistakes to convert, which is the main reason why the team plays very hard but never gets close to the score. In addition, the core main force Halliburton is like sleepwalking, losing all 5 shots and not getting a single point, which has become another major reason for the team's backwardness. However, from the scene, Halliburton seemed to be feeling a little uncomfortable, which caused his condition to be greatly affected.
Second half: Pacers failed to counterattack
3, Nesmith, Dort and Turner scored three-pointers. The Pacers continued to increase their strength on the defensive end, and there were signs of a rise. The Thunder quickly stopped the opponent's arrogance. After the timeout, Halliburton broke through and committed a foul and used a free throw to get the first point of the game. And using his personal restraint, McConnell scored eight points in a row, and the score difference was directly narrowed to single digits! Alexander and Homgren kept responding, McConnell scored 13 points in a single quarter, carrying the Pacers forward alone!
4. After returning from the final quarter, Wiggins made a three-pointer and once again widened the advantage to double digits. Carlisle quickly called a timeout. After the timeout, the competition between the two teams became fierce. Siakam made a steal and dunk, and then made a free throw, and the difference reached 2 points. Jaylen Williams stepped forward, made a three-pointer first, and assisted his teammates to dunk, helping the Thunder stabilize the situation. Alexander scored again in a fast break, and the score difference returned to 10 points! Jaylen Williams became the key hero of the Thunder to secure the victory.
Summary after the game
The first quarter of the game, Nemhard hit the basket, and Dort's obvious foul was ignored by the referee, which made Carlisle on the sidelines furious and received a technical foul. It was also taking advantage of this opportunity that the Thunder opened its advantage to double digits in one fell swoop. Since then, the Pacers have been struggling to catch up with the score, and the score difference has always been at this distance.
Therefore, many media and fans have a lot of dissatisfaction and doubts about the referee's call. After all, in this kind of critical game, every round may determine the direction of the game.
Compared with this result, everyone is quite dissatisfied with the Pacers' Halliburton and Nemhard's performance throughout the game! Frankly admit that it can be regarded as a crime level! Such anger is understandable. As the team's thigh, Halliburton was in a slump in the whole game. The team narrowed the gap to 2 points in the fourth quarter, and it was Halliburton and Nemhard's four or five consecutive mistakes, and the Thunder seized the opportunity and took the victory away directly!
