The finals are tiebreaker again! The 20th time after 9 years of history, the Thunder made the second championship, and the Pacers made the first championship

On June 20, the Pacers easily defeated the Thunder in the finals G6, successfully retaining the suspense to the tiebreak battle. The NBA will usher in the first Finals tiebreak battle in the past nine years. The last time was the 2016 Cavaliers' total score reversed the Warriors' championship 4-3. It will also be the 8th Finals tiebreak battle after the merger of the NBA and ABA in 1976, and the 20th Finals tiebreak battle in the history of the NBA.

When the Pacers led 2-1 in the first three games, and the advantage of squandering almost most of the time in the fourth game was reversed, the Pacers also lost the battle of Tianwang Mountain to lose the match point. Since Halliburton was also troubled by injuries, the Pacers were generally regarded as declining to the outside world, but they burst out with super combat power in the sixth game, leading 22 points in the first half, and expanding their advantage by 30 points in the first three quarters, forcing the Thunder to admit defeat one quarter in advance. The Pacers defeated the Thunder with a big victory and chased the total score 3-3, which also kept the suspense until the tiebreak.

In the NBA Finals in the past 8 years, we have never been able to play the tiebreak battle. The last time we need to trace it back to the 2016 Finals. At that time, when the Cavaliers fell behind 1-3 in the first four games, they won three games in a row, and finally reversed 4-3 in total and won the first championship in the Cavaliers' history. The Cavaliers also completed the first total score of 1-3 in history, falling behind 1-3 in the history of the finals to win the championship.

Now the Pacers and the Thunder will usher in another NBA Finals tiebreak battle after nine years, and will also be the 8th Finals tiebreak battle since the merger of the NBA and the ABA in 1976, and the 20th tiebreak battle in NBA Finals history.

Thunder will play at home in the tiebreak battle. Will the Thunder win the second championship in team history after 46 years, or will the Pacers continue to be in a dark horse and win the first championship in Pacers' history? The suspense will be announced on June 23, which is undoubtedly extremely exciting.
