After this game, Pascal Siakam, a well-performing Pacers forward star, was interviewed by reporters, and he also talked about the team's mentality during the playoffs.

When talking about the team's mentality, Siakam said: For me, it's like I've always said before. As long as you put in enough effort, you will never lose, which is something that does not require negotiation. Whether you play well or badly on the court, one thing is certain, that is, you must always persist in working hard and always stay focused on the court, and this is also my life creed. We put in a lot of effort during the playoffs, we never played any tricks, and each of our players fought hard as soon as they came on the court. This is the mentality we maintained in the playoffs and the secret to our ability to defeat our opponents.

In the NBA regular season this season, Siakam played a total of 78 games in 82 games, averaging 32.7 minutes per game, averaging 20.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 2.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 51.9%, three-point shooting percentage of 38.9%, and free throw shooting percentage of 73.4%.

His shooting percentage is 53.7%, his three-point shooting percentage is 46.3%, and his free throw shooting percentage is 66.7%. With his outstanding performance during the Eastern Conference Finals, Siakam also received the honor of the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Siakam's overall performance during the playoffs was quite stable. He maintained a very high offensive efficiency and three-point shooting percentage. He also had good passing ability and support ability. He was able to provide a lot of support to the team on the offensive end, and his performance on the defensive end was also quite good. In comparison, Siakam can be regarded as the most stable and outstanding player in the team. Regardless of whether the team wins or loses, Siakam can maintain a stable level, and it is not easy to do this. In the next finals, Siakam's performance will greatly affect the title of the championship. Can he maintain this level?
