Sports Weekly Special Correspondent Wu Yinzhen Indiana reported that the Indiana Pacers' season is far from over. Amid the deafening cheers of home fans, the Pacers united and defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 108-91 in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, stubbornly dragging the series into the seventh decisive victory.

In this must-win match, the Pacers will do their best. Whether it was Halliburton who was injured, the passionate T.J. McConnell, or the steady and experienced Siakam, the whole team focused on avoiding mistakes, ignited the passion at home with hard work, and achieved a key victory.

"We fought until we were exhausted," McConnell said, setting the tone for the game early with his key steals and his energy. "But we have to fight again on Sunday."

Although the outside world was full of doubts about whether Halliburton could play before the game, the All-Star defender was still on the court and stood up at a critical moment, which led to the atmosphere throughout the game. After the game, he sighed: "I just want to fight side by side with my brothers. I have to give myself a chance. As long as I can still leave, I will be on the court."

His tenacious fighting spirit inspired the whole team, while Siakam used his rich experience in the competition to stabilize the morale of the army. "At this stage, everything depends on fighting," Siakam said. "We are too familiar with each other. There is no secret to it. It depends on who wants to win more."

This young Thunder team failed to perform well under the pressure of winning the championship. The entire team's offense was blocked, and the offense was stagnant. "We played badly tonight." Alexander said bluntly, "We can learn from it. Sunday is a life-and-death game, and whoever is better wins."

coach Dagnott paid tribute to the Pacers while admitting that the team was not performing well: "I must give Indiana a thumbs up. They played better than us most of the time. We must perform better in tiebreaks."

With the series tied 3-3, both sides will face the ultimate test: win Game 7 and win the championship; lose, the season will end. The Thunder will play at home, but the Pacers' tenacious performance undoubtedly makes the situation confusing.

"This is the opportunity every child dreams of since childhood." Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said, "This is the ultimate battle."

Siakam also said: "We are still alive, we have a great opportunity. The next thing is to do our best to keep everything on the court." The seventh game of the NBA Finals will be held Sunday night in Oklahoma City. After months of fierce battles in the playoffs, everything will be decided that night.
