On June 17, in the NBA Finals G5, the Thunder returned to home to face the Pacers. The two sides had a 2-2 draw, and the battle between Tianwangshan was about to break out. According to statistics, Tianwangshan has appeared in the history of the NBA Finals 32 times, and the probability of the team that won the G5 final is as high as 74%. The importance of this game is self-evident. Although the Thunder won a bit of controversy in the last game of G4, it has to be admitted that from the perspective of the game, the Thunder is indeed the stronger side. Their lineup structure is basically no shortcoming. The two towers in the interior dominate, and there are also a bunch of defensive players on the outside, which makes the Pacers very uncomfortable. In addition, Alexander deserves his reputation as an MVP. In the first four finals, he averaged 32.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists per game, and 3.8 steals and blocks.
And Halliburton cannot give the Pacers more support in scoring during regular season. Speaking of the loss in the last game, Halliburton also said: "The opponent's small lineup did make our offense stagnate, but this cannot be an excuse. We have obtained a lot of good mobile phone opportunities, but we just couldn't grasp it. Through video analysis, we will find the specific direction of improvement. More importantly, my teammates and I know that we must make a strong response in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain. Although the opponent's adjustments are very effective, we still have a lot of room for improvement." In this game, both sides sent out Alexander, Jewish, Chett, Harten, and Dort in the starting lineup. The Pacers sent out the following: Siakam, Halliburton, Nembhard, Nesmith and Turner.
The first quarter starts, the Thunder took the lead and launched the first attack. Hatten Tengteng's power dunk easily and scored the first goal of the game. Nembhard squeezed out the defense and pulled back and pulled the ball to open for the Pacers. Siakam also had a mid-range jump shot from the dry land. Chet struck the meteor to hit the inside and scored two points. Siakam stabilized his body, and a large 45-degree angle three-pointer made a hollow hit. Jaylen stole the fast attack and flew into one hand and dunked with one hand. Turner made a layup against the air and hit the board. Chet's arc top was extremely far away and the three-pointer shot was shot into the center of the net. In the first half of the first quarter, the scores of both sides were still very stalemate. Soon, the Thunder broke the deadlock and took the initiative. They fought in a fast break and counterattacked repeatedly, forcing the Pacers to make mistakes, widening the gap between the score to about 10 points.
The first quarter ended, and the Thunder led the Pacers by 10 points 32-22. At the beginning of the second quarter, Wiggins chased and fired and shot through the heart with a three-pointer, helping the Thunder to win the first goal. Siakam hit back with a long arm hook. McConnell made a steadily with a confident three-pointer. Wiggins felt hot, and shot another goal from the open outside. Alexander rushed straight into the basket to create damage. He stood on the free throw line and had both free throws. Nesmith's bottom corner three-pointer blossomed directly. Jewe broke through with the ball, lifted the fire and made a strong 2+1 shot at the basket. Siakam turned around and made a single shot, and fell back and jumped back to the penalty. The Thunder continued to expand their lead, and once scored 18 points in the middle of the second quarter. Nembhard's dodge and maneuvered, and scored and added penalty to stop the Pacers from bleeding slightly. After the three quarters of the game, the Thunder led the Pacers by 14 points 59-45.
The second half begins, and the side changes again. Alexander made a quick stop and jump shot steadily during the march, opening the prelude to the third quarter. Smith's open three-pointer shot was just in the heart of the net. Dort was not willing to be outdone, and he hit the board with a difficult three-pointer. Turner ambushed at the bottom corner, and shot a bow from the outside of the three-point line and shot a hundred steps through Yang. Jewei's dragon swung his tail, and continued to play a 2+1 against the layup. Siakam cut the basket and easily picked the basket and hit the board. Entering the middle of the third quarter, the Pacers finally had surprises. McConnell, who came on as a substitute, exploded. He shot and shot together and blossomed in multiple points. He scored 13 points in just 6 minutes, leading the team to narrow the gap to only 4 points. However, the Thunder did not collapse. Alexander used his personal hard-solving ability to succeed continuously to help the team stabilize the situation. After the third quarter of the game, the Thunder led the Pacers 87-79 by 8 points. In the final quarter, the Pacers started with an offensive to catch the difference of only two points, but the good times didn't last long. In the following time, they began to make continuous mistakes. The Thunder counterattack climax + three-point shooting gun instantly expanded the difference of more than 10 points. There was no suspense in the game. In the end, the Thunder defeated the Pacers 120-109 and got the match point 3-2.
The first, Jewe, the player who performed the best in this game, scored 40 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. His basket confrontation ended too strong, and he scored 2+1 many times, and his three-point efficiency was also very high, helping the Thunder to establish the victory of the game early. Second, Alexander scored 31 points, 2 rebounds, 10 assists and 4 blocks. Whenever the Pacers chased points, Alexander stood up and solved the situation, which was the super giant style. Third, Caruso, who made 1 of 8 shots and scored only two points. Caruso's performance in this game was very different from the previous games. Fortunately, it was harmless and other Thunder players were in good condition. The fourth one is Wallace, who scored 11 points and 4 steals, had an offense and defense, and had a real shooting percentage of more than 100%. He is also one of the important contributors to the Thunder's winning goal.
The fifth one, Halliburton, Harry's performance in this game can be said to be a disaster level, with only 4 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and no sports game goals were scored. As a star without stable scoring ability, it is really difficult to go far! The sixth one is Siakam, who scored 28 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists in a free throw. She really tried her best. Sika is the Pacers' most stable scoring core, but Sika made 6 mistakes in this game. The seventh one, McConnell, scored 18 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, deserves respect! If McConnell hadn't had the outbreak of the third quarter, the Pacers would have collapsed long ago and would have been impossible to hold on until the fourth quarter
