2-1! Pacers beat the Thunder, after-match player evaluation, the biggest contributor is not Halliburton

Game 3 of the NBA Finals, the Battle of Little Tianwang Mountain, the Pacers vs. The Thunder. When the Pacers returned to Indiana, they had a home advantage, but the Thunder's away record was also good, so it's hard to say who wins and loses. If the Pacers want to defend their home honors, Halliburton must explode and the outside line must explode, otherwise it will be difficult to fight. The Thunder is doing their own well and playing the rhythm. The role players grasp the goals they should score. Victory will come naturally. Alexander doesn't need to worry about it. It's too stable.

First: Pacers starter: Nesmith, Siakam, Turner, Nemhard, Halliburton! Thunder starts: Dortmund, Jaylenway, Homegren, Wallace, Alexander!

The Thunder led the Pacers 8 points 32-24 in the first quarter. Thunder performs normally, balances internally and externally, and plays at the level they should have. Chet scored 13 points and Dortmund scored 9 points, and the two performed well. The Pacers' three-pointers were still not strong, with 2 of 7 shots, so the offense could not keep up. Halliburton played well, with 5 points and 4 assists, and no stealth.

Alexander and Halliburton rested in the second quarter, and the Thunder's offense had problems and the substitutes were not strong. The Pacers seized the opportunity, counterattacked defensively, and scored a 15-4 attack wave to overtake the score. McConaughey shone in the audience and was everywhere. After Alexander returned, the Thunder's offense improved, and Isaiah Giova made a three-pointer, but he couldn't defend and the Pacers' momentum was unstoppable.

Jaylenway scored a three-pointer, Shepard's three-pointer was gone, Alexander counterattacked and converted, and the Thunder doubles equalized 5-0. Halliburton made a three-pointer, Sika hit the basket, the Pacers' two stars responded strongly, McConnor continued to fire and led 64-60 in the first half.

The Pacers made consecutive shots in the second half, and the Thunder took the lead 6-0. Carlisle's timeout was very effective, the team regained the rhythm of shooting, Halliburton made a long three-pointer, and the score was overtaken again. Caruso scored three points, Mathering's middle distance, Alexander caused damage, and the scores rose alternately. Chet cut and dunked, Jaylenway made a three-pointer, and the Thunder 89-84 Pacers.

The Pacers' turn to play again in the last quarter, tied the score, and McConaughey played so well. Both sides returned to the same starting line, Halliburton made a three-pointer when he came back, and Totta dunked with both hands, Nesmith continued to make a three-pointer, and the Pacers led to 8 points.

Caruso steals Halliburton for one-stop, but Chet failed to attack continuously, Nesmith misses the opportunity for three-pointers, Sika defends Alexander + scores, and the difference returns to 8 points. No miracle happened. In the end, the Pacers reversed the Thunder 116-107, leading 2-1 with a big score, with a probability of winning the championship as high as 80%.

Judging from the role of the game and the post-match evaluation, the Pacers' biggest contributor is not the core Halliburton and Sika, but the substitute surprise McConaughey. His performance caught the Thunder off guard and led the substitute to defeat the Thunder's rotation lineup. The Thunder lost to the substitute tonight, and the score difference is too big.
