In the previous NBA playoff game, the Indiana Pacers defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers who played at home with a three-pointer from Tyrese Haliburton. After this game, the Pacers, who unexpectedly won two consecutive home wins at their opponents at home, led their opponents 2-0 in this round of series, gaining an absolute advantage.

In this game, although the Pacers' starting and backcourt star Andrew Nembhard was not in particularly ideal form, his performance is still worthy of recognition. Nemhard played 36 minutes and 29 seconds in the whole game, made 5 of 13 shots, 0 of 4 from outside the three-point line, and 3 of 5 free throws, scoring 13 points, 7 rebounds, 13 assists and 2 steals, and 8 turnovers and 5 fouls, with a plus-negative value of +10. Nemhard's outside shooting feel is not ideal, and he has not scored too many points, but he has also shown a very good passing ability and overall view. However, his performance in error control is still slightly worse, and he also needs to improve in this regard. The most important thing is that Nemhard completed a key steal, helping the team grab the ball in an unfavorable situation, which also laid the groundwork for Halliburton's final kill. In the case of poor condition, Nemhard still relied on his own efforts to contribute to the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Nemhard made a total of 65 appearances in 82 games, averaging 28.9 minutes per game, averaging 10 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 2.3 fouls, shooting percentage of 45.8%, three-point shooting percentage of 29.1%, and free throw shooting percentage of 79.4%. In the playoffs, Nemhard averaged 33.6 minutes in his first seven games, with averaging 15.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.1 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. He shot 50% from the field, 50% from three-point shooting percentage and 86.7% from free throws.

Nemhard's performance in the regular season was actually very average. His offensive efficiency was not outstanding, and his three-point shooting percentage was even more terrible. His ability in all aspects did not seem to be well displayed. Unexpectedly, in the playoffs, Nemhard's performance has improved significantly, his offensive efficiency has improved a lot, his three-point shooting percentage is quite amazing, his performance in passing and organization has also made considerable progress, and he can also take on some responsibilities on the defensive end. He is completely an all-round player with both offense and defense. I have to say that Nemhard is really a big player. It is really excellent that he can help the team in various ways when his condition is not ideal in such a game.
