1 indisputable facts: Halliburton scored 17 points and 6 assists but made 5 mistakes, Siakam scored 15 points and 7 rebounds accompanied by inefficient shots from 3 of 11 shots, and the dual cores struggled at the same time. Halliburton faced the Thunder's joint defense and his breakthrough route was locked; Siakam's strong attack was repeatedly blocked by Homgren and Haltenstein, and completely lost power on the offensive end. What's even more fatal is the role player's support for the fault: Totel scored only 3 points on 1 of 8 shots, Nesmith's 12-5 shot was difficult to save the owner, and the Pacers were unable to chase points or break the deadlock. If you want to regain the initiative, the Pacers must activate dual-core efficiency and awaken external firepower.
