A tragic reversal! Thunder 107-116 Pacers, who is the culprit in this game, the data will not lie

In the G3 focus game of the NBA playoff finals that just ended on June 12, the Thunder were reversed 107-116 away by the Pacers and fell 1-2 in the finals. The Pacers are still regular starters, with Nesmith, Siakam, Turner, Nemhard and Halliburton starting together. The Thunder continued to continue the starting lineup since the Finals, with Wallace, Dortmund, Jaylenway, Homegren and Alexander forming the starting five Tigers. In the previous two home games, the two sides tied 1-1. After the game started, the away Thunder quickly entered the game. Although Alexander felt average, Homgren and Dortmund jointly shot a 15-6 attack wave at the beginning of the game. In particular, Homgren felt extremely hot. He shot 4 of 5 shots in the first quarter, 5 of 6 free throws, scored 13 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal, helping the Thunder lead the Pacers 32-24 in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Miconnor, who came on the bench, suddenly broke out. He dominated the game on both offense and defense, and made consecutive steals + wonderful passes to narrow the gap to 1 point. Siakam also gave Caruso a big hat at the basket, helping the Pacers overtake 3 points. After the timeout, Isaiah Giova made two consecutive three-pointers, and Nemhard also made three-pointers to respond. Matherin and Toppin hit the basket and scored 5 points in a row, helping the Pacers widen the gap to 5 points again. Then Halliburton made a strong jump in the inside and made a throw shot, and Caruso made a three-pointer to stop the bleeding. Halliburton hit another 3-pointer and responded strongly. At the end of the half-time game, the Pacers overtook the Thunder for 4 points.

As soon as the third quarter came, Jaylenway and Alexander scored 6 points in a row, and the Thunder instantly overtook the score again. Jaylenway continued to make a layup, Nesmith made a big 2-pointer, Nemhard + Halliburton hit a 3-pointer again, Caruso continued to make steady efforts from the outside, and the Pacers always maintained a weak lead. With Jaylenway's bottom line scored at Homgren, who scored "2+1", the Thunder successfully overtook 2 points. Then Jaylenway hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer again. At the end of the third quarter, the Thunder led the Pacers by 5 points 89-84. In the fourth quarter, Matherin, the bench bandit on the Pacers, hit "2+1" against Jaylenway as soon as he got up, and then made another mid-range shot and made 3 points, helping the Pacers take the lead with 101-98. And with Halliburton and Nemhard hitting another 3-pointer, the Pacers made a 32-18 attack wave in the fourth quarter, and finally reversed and defeated the Thunder.

So where is the loss in this Thunder? Perhaps the data can give us some answers.

Alexander, as the league's regular season MVP, scored a total of 72 points in the first two games of the Finals, breaking the NBA historical record. His feel is still stable in this game, but he makes too many mistakes, which is one of the reasons why the team loses. He made 9 of 20 shots in the game, 1 of 3 points, 5 of 6 free throws, scored 24 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, and 6 mistakes. Not only did he make the most mistakes in the game today, he also did not stand up at a critical moment.

Homgren, the touch of this game is average. In the first quarter, he made 4 of 5 shots and scored 13 points and 4 rebounds. He made 6 of 15 shots in the whole game, 0 of 3 points and 8 of 9 free throws, and scored 20 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. Except for the big explosion in the first quarter today, he did not have many opportunities to perform in the other three quarters, and his feel was significantly reduced. At the critical moment of the final quarter, he was repeatedly defeated by Turner alone, and Homgren needed to adjust his game state in time.

Jaylenway, he felt good in this game. He made 9 of 18 shots, 1 of 2 of 3 points, and 7 of 11 free throws, scoring the team's highest 26 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 4 mistakes. Although he has always supported the team with his excellent feel, he lost several free throws at critical moments, and the team lost the opportunity to reverse.

Dotter still demonstrates the strength of top 3D and the best defensive team in the league. The defensive end is still strong in this game, and he can also hit 3 points on the offensive end. He made 4 of 8 shots in the whole game, 4 of 5 shots in 3 points and 0 free throws, scoring 12 points and 4 rebounds.

Wallace performed averagely after replacing Harten's starting lineup. He only made 3 of 5 shots, 0 of 3 points, scored 7 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 2 blocks, and 2 mistakes. Moreover, his plus-minus value was -10, which was the lowest among the team's starting players. Today, his performance failed the head coach's trust, and perhaps he was more suitable to play as a substitute.

Substitute: Haltenstein made 2 of 3 shots in the whole game, scored 4 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal. Caruso made 2 of 5 shots in the whole game, 2 of 2 of 3 points, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 8 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 turnover. As a substitute, he performed very well, once again showing the strength of the top outside defenders.
