Thunder defeated the Pacers 120-109! 3-2 wins the match point, I completely recognize these 4 people

The Thunder played the fifth game of the finals with the Pacers at home, which was a super critical game! Whoever wins is one step closer to the championship. The first four games were tied 2:2, so if which team wins this game, the probability of winning the championship will reach 74%. Do you think it is important? As a result, the Thunder finally defeated the Pacers 120-109, and won the match point 3-2 in total, which was really only one step away from the championship. Let’s take a look at the specific situation of this game!

At the beginning of the first quarter, the Thunder was so powerful that Harteng scored a dunk as soon as he came up. The first half of the two sides played very stalemate, and the score was very tight. However, the Thunder's fast attack counterattack later hit very smoothly, forcing the Pacers to make frequent mistakes. After the first quarter, the Thunder led the Pacers by 10 points 32 to 22.

The Thunder opened fire in the second quarter, and Wiggins felt hot and made several three-pointers in a row. Alexander also blossomed inside and outside, making the walkers a little unbearable. The Thunder once widened the score difference to 18 points, but at the end of the half, they were still 14 points ahead. As soon as the second half started, the two teams started to play fiercely, and the score was tight. Pacers' substitute McConnell suddenly felt hot and scored 13 points in this quarter, narrowing the gap to only 4 points. However, the Thunder Alexander stood up at a critical moment and stabilized the situation with his own strength. At the beginning of the last quarter, the Pacers chased the points quite fiercely, and it can be seen that they were fighting hard. But later they kept making mistakes, and now Thunder took a chance. The Thunder's fast break and three-pointers one after another directly widened the score difference to double digits. At this time, there was no suspense in the game. In the end, the Thunder won 120-109 and won the match point 3-2. The fourth quarter of the Pacers was simply outrageous. I made four or five mistakes in a row, and I was almost in a hurry to see it. Halliburton and Nembhard were simply "score machines" in that quarter, making mistakes one after another. Alas, now thinking about it, if I had replaced Halliburton and Nembhard earlier and let McConnell go up and play, I might have some hope of recovering it.

To be honest, after the Pacers lost in G4, there was really no chance. Whether it is the lack of strength or the influence of the referee, this game should have been won. As a result, I could still fight in the first game, but it started to fail in the second game, and I was simply bored in the third game. The whole team's condition and morale disappeared all of a sudden, and I felt that it was completely out of shape. To be honest, it is not easy for two teams to reach the finals, but I look at the next game, the Thunder will have a high possibility of winning the away championship.

After this game, I have a deeper understanding of these four stars:

The first thing I want to talk about is Jaylen Williams. To be honest, if I ask who performed the best and most stable in this round of the series, it must be him. It can really be said that it is impeccable on both ends of offense and defense, and it is definitely the second-level. In today's game, he made 14 of 23 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, 9 of 12 free throws, scored 40 points plus 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, setting his playoff scoring record. This performance is too exaggerated, it is really too strong!

The second Halliburton: To be honest, I have never had much confidence in him. Although he did score many winning goals in the playoffs, we have to say it truthfully that the goal was a bit based on luck. Most of the balls are extremely outrageous when they are thrown, but they can still bounce in. In today's game, I missed all 6 three-pointers, and I only scored 4 points in the game. In fact, his performance in the regular season was also high and low. When he felt good, he made three-pointers one after another, and when he felt bad, he made various irons.

The third McConnell: Who could have thought of it? Today's Pacers' best player is not the starter, but McConnell who came on the bench! He contributed 18 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in the game, and his performance was too comprehensive. This is not the first time he has performed so well. His performance has been very stable throughout the playoffs. Unfortunately, he never gets too many opportunities. If he was replaced at the last critical moment, maybe the Pacers would have some hope of reversal!

Fourth Alexander: To be honest, although some people don’t like this player, his current strength is definitely among the top three in the league. Seeing him easily scored 30 points in these games, it was as simple as taking things out of his pocket. Moreover, he has a very strong ability to fight alone. As long as the team needs to widen the gap, he can create fouls through his tough offense, and the opponent has no choice but to deal with him.
