NBA Finals kicked off, and the Thunder played against the Pacers at home. The Thunder, who was at home, showed strong defensive strength and successfully implemented steals repeatedly. In the first quarter, they led their opponents with a scoring advantage of 29-20. In the half game, the Pacers made 19 turnovers and the Thunder successfully made 11 steals, and the gap between the two teams has significantly widened to double digits. After the game change, the Pacers chased the score closely. In the fourth quarter, the Pacers showed excellent three-point shooting ability and narrowly defeated the Thunder with Halliburton's decisive blow. The Pacers demonstrated their outstanding strength, shined in the finals, and created unprecedented achievements in the history of sports in the 21st century.

In this game, Alexander's performance was perfect. He shot 30 times and hit 14 goals in total. He ended the game with outstanding results of 38 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, fully demonstrating his comprehensive offensive and defensive ability. However, when No. 2 player Jaylen Williams performed poorly, he made only six of 19 shots, and ended up with only 17 points, four rebounds and six assists. Chet is in poor condition and contributes only 6 points. Dort scored 5 three-pointers, contributing a total of 15 points. Center Harten scored 9 points and 9 rebounds, while Caruso contributed 11 points and 6 rebounds. Wallace scored only 6 points as a starter. The team's poor offensive form eventually led to a failed ending.

0.3 seconds. Nembhard contributed 14 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, while Siakam showed all-round ability, scoring 19 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists with 7 of 15 shots. Nesmith also scored 3 three-pointers and stood out with a double-double of 10 points and 12 rebounds. Center Turner contributed 15 points and 9 rebounds, contributing key points in the fourth quarter of the finale. Topin performed well, scored 5 three-pointers and scored 17 points alone, McConnell and Mathering scored 14 points together.

captain Halliburton played for a total of 39 minutes. During the game, he tried 13 shots and successfully hit 6 goals, and finally achieved 14 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 turnovers. Looking at the previous few quarters, Halliburton's performance did not meet the expectations of leading the finals. However, at a critical moment in the fourth quarter, he stood up again and successfully reversed the Thunder with counterattacks and mid-range jump shots at critical moments.

It is worth noting that the Pacers have shown dark horse qualities throughout the playoffs this season, especially in a certain game, where they were as many as fifteen points behind in the game, but eventually succeeded in a shocking reversal. This is not an occasional outbreak for the Pacers, but a typical feature of their playoff performance. As of this year's playoffs, the Pacers have achieved a backlash from being over 15 points behind in five games, a feat that makes them the only team in the NBA in the 21st century.

As everyone knows, it is extremely difficult to reverse the situation by falling behind in the regular season. However, the Pacers actually completed this feat five times. Even in the arena of the finals, facing the league's top Thunder, it showed its strong strength to turn the tables in adversity, and its performance was extremely amazing. Given the Pacers' 1-0 lead on the road, they have clearly enhanced the possibility of a title race significantly.
