NBA Finals continue, and today the Thunder continued to play against the Pacers at home. In the end, they defeated the Pacers 123:107, and the score between the two sides reached a 1:1 draw. The next game will be moved to the Pacers at home. In this game, Alexander still scored 34 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists. The Thunder took the game more seriously today, so they kept the double-digit lead most of the time. Today, Halliburton did not continue the magic of the previous game. He only scored 17 points and 6 assists in the whole game. As the leader of a team, this kind of scoring is difficult to help the team win.

The Thunder's role players performed very well today, with two players in the bench scoring more than 15 points, namely Caruso and Aaron Wiggins. Caruso scored four three-pointers in the whole game today and scored 20 points. He also scored 11 points in the last game. In this year's playoffs, he played the team's surprise. Not only did he make many contributions on the defensive end, but his performance on the offensive end was also very stable. This is indeed very different from his performance during the regular season. This proves that Caruso is a playoff level player, and the more he plays to a critical game, the better he performs.

Caruso has experience in the finals. When he played for the Lakers, he won the championship with the team, and his performance in the playoffs was very outstanding. Nowadays, many Lakers fans have always felt sorry for Caruso leaving the Lakers and have always believed that it was a huge mistake for the Lakers to let him go. Because if the Lakers had Caruso to stay in the lineup, they might have an extra 3D player and they had a better defensive barrier on the outside. Caruso's joining this year has indeed brought improvements to the Thunder.

So the Lakers should be able to find inspiration in strengthening this offseason, that is, they must pay attention to strengthening defensive players. On the outside, they need to find a forward player with strong defense, and on the inside, they also need to find a player with strong franchise protection ability. If these two points can be strengthened, the Lakers will still have a certain amount of ready-to-fighting power next season.
