4 points in a single game! In the battle of Halliburton war criminals, where did the G5 Pacers lose?

Finals G5, the Thunder defeated the Pacers 120-109.

This game is interesting. In the first 3 minutes of the first quarter, the Pacers led 12-11, and then the Thunder beat the Pacers to overtake 11-0. From then until the end of the second quarter, the Thunder maintained a double-digit score difference, with a score of 59-45 in the halftime, and the Thunder led by up to 18 points.

The Thunder, the core players in the middle were in good shape, Alexander scored 13 points and 5 assists, Jewish scored 16 points, Chett scored 7 points, 4 rebounds and 3 blocks, Hartten scored 3 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and the bench scored 9 points each.

The Pacers are still the whole nation. 10 players rotated and 8 players scored in the first half. Siakam scored the highest 10 points, but Halliburton was not in good shape, 0 of 5 shots and 0 of 4 three-pointers, not a single point, and injured his right leg.

Only look at the first half, there was still a considerable gap in strength between the two teams, but that was the Pacers. One statistic is that this year's playoff Pacers lag behind 15+ games, with a record of 5 wins and 4 losses. Yes, there are more games that reverse than games that lose.

In the third quarter of this game, the Pacers once again saw this momentum. They beat the Thunder 34-28 in a single quarter, narrowing the score difference from double digits to 8 points. McConnell became the surprise, scoring 13 points and 2 assists in a single quarter. In the crucial fourth quarter, Siakam scored 14 points in the team's first 15 points and led the Pacers to catch the difference to 2 points at one point, but in the critical rounds, the Pacers made 4 consecutive mistakes. The Thunder used the mistake to pull the difference to double digits again, and then kept the difference to the end.

Let's talk about the walkers first, Siakam has tried his best.

played 33 minutes in the game, 9 of 15 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, scored 28 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and had 3 steals and 2 blocks. In the fourth quarter, Siakam scored 14 points in a single quarter. It was his continuous performance that allowed the Pacers to narrow the gap to 2 points at one point.

The Pacers' main rotation also played very well, especially McConnell, who scored 13 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, 8 of 14 shots in the game, and scored super efficiently 18 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.

In addition, Turner scored 13 points and 6 rebounds, Nesmith scored 14 points and 6 rebounds, and Toppin scored 12 points and 5 rebounds. The worst was Nembhard, who made 3 of 8 shots in the game, scored only 7 points, and made 4 mistakes. Continuous mistakes at critical moments in the fourth quarter caused the Pacers to miss the best opportunity to turn the table, which also led to the Thunder pulling the gap to 10+ again.

and, the most important figure, Halliburton pulled a big shot.

In the whole game, Halliburton played for a total of 34 minutes, 0 of 6 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, only scored 4 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and made 3 mistakes, with a plus-minus value of -13, the lowest in the team.

Halliburton's aberration was partly due to injury, but more so he was in poor condition and could not get rid of his opponent's attacking opportunities. He scored 0 points in the half and 0 goals in the game in the whole game. He also had a share of consecutive mistakes in the fourth quarter.

Halliburton is in such a bad state in this game. In fact, Carlisle can really try to let McConnell play for a while. It was too late to replace McConnell until the last 5 minutes in the fourth quarter. At that time, the Thunder had already risen.

Only talk about Halliburton. If you still remember, the Pacers eliminated the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals, Halliburton tied the G1 at the extreme, G4 had 32 points, 12 rebounds, 15 assists, 4 steals and 0 mistakes, and G6 had 21 points, 6 rebounds and 13 assists in a single game.

series performed well many times, but in the end they did not win the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals. A large part of the reason is that G5 pulled it, with only 8 points in a single game - assumption, just make an assumption, the Pacers can eventually complete the reversal, and this game of G5 may cause Harry to lose FMVP.

Let’s talk about the Thunder, it’s really different to go back to home court.

Previously, in G4, the Thunder team only scored 3 three-pointers. Except for Caruso, who scored 20 points on the bench, the other players only scored 7 points in total.

This game was completely different. The Thunder team made 14 of 31 three-pointers, including Caruso only scored 2 points on the bench, but Wiggins and Wallace made 7 three-pointers, which combined to score 25 points, 7 rebounds and 4 steals.

Of course, this game still won at the core.

Alexander made 9 of 21 shots, 13 of 14 free throws, scored 31 points, 2 rebounds and 10 assists, and contributed 2 steals and 4 blocks on the defensive end. His performance has been very stable. He averaged 32.4 points per game so far in the finals, and the next FMVP list will definitely be at the top.

But only talking about this game, the MVP must be Jewish.

In the whole game, Jewe played for a total of 35 minutes, 14 of 25 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 9 of 12 free throws, scored 40 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, plus or negative values ​​+14, the highest in the team.

At the end of the half, Jewe scored the team's highest 16 points. In the third quarter, McConnell scored 13 points in a single quarter, and Jewe also scored 13 points in a single quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Jewe scored 11 points in a single quarter again, and the ball was key, especially when the Pacers caught 2 points, it was Jewe's three-pointer that pushed the difference to 5 points. This goal should be the most critical goal for the Thunder in the game.

It should be said that the performance of the first two games of the Javi series was actually not particularly good. G1 scored 17 points in 6 of 19 shots in a single game, and G2 scored 5 of 14 shots in a single game, but since G3, his feel has been constantly recovering. He has scored 26 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 27 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 40 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and he can average 31 points per game..

The best player in the Thunder is definitely Alexander, but Javi's performance in this game - if the Thunder wins the championship, it will be enough to get him a FMVP vote, and in the third grade, he can get 40 points on the Tianwangshan stage in the finals. This is something that many historical stars cannot do. The previous one may still have to be Wade in 2006? Since the

series, the balance of victory must have turned to the Thunder, but I personally think that the Pacers are not that easy to beat. Just like this game, they once chased from 18 points behind to 2 points, and the next game is the Pacers' home court.

In this round of games, it may be because there is no traffic superstar, but the excitement is definitely underestimated. G6 can look forward to whether Halliburton and the Pacers can rebound, and whether Jewish and SGA can lead the team to win the away championship.
