Fatal shortcomings! The Pacers scored 7 doubles and lost the game, and the defense missed a fatal injury. Famous mouth: The champion is out of the way
3:23pm, 10 June 2025【Basketball】
When the Pacers' technical statistics list said that 7 players scored in double digits, everyone thought victory was in sight, but in the end, the score of 107-123 was slapped in the face. This loss exposed the team's fatal shortcomings - the seemingly balanced offense cannot cover up the loopholes on the defensive end, and the Thunder hit a shooting percentage of 55%, making 13 of 32 three-pointers. The famous speaker bluntly said after the game: "It's no chance to win the championship with this kind of defense!"
From the beginning of the game, the Pacers' defensive system was full of loopholes. The Thunder used the "one inside and one outside" combination of Alexander and Homgren to frequently create misalignment through pick-and-roll: Alexander broke through with speed when facing Turner, while Homgren forced himself to take the inside when facing a small player, and easily scored 35 points in the first quarter. The Pacers tried to make up for the height gap by switching defenses, but Halliburton and Nembhard's defensive hardness were insufficient and were repeatedly passed by their opponents in one step, causing the inside Turner to have to make frequent defenses, which consumes a lot of physical energy.
Although the Pacers recovered on the offensive end, the defensive end still did not improve. The Thunder seized the Pacers' weakness of the Pacers' players' untimely rotation, and scored through three-pointers and empty cuts many times. In the final quarter, they completely killed the game with continuous fast break counterattacks. Data shows that the Thunder made 30 assists in the whole game, hitting 13 three-pointers, and both data set a new high in the playoffs this season. The Pacers' defensive efficiency plummeted from 108.5 in the first round of the playoffs to 123.4 in the game, which is a "cliff-like decline."
For the Pacers, the performance in the first two games of the finals has sounded the alarm: On the more intense final stage, relying solely on multiple players to score in double-digit offensive mode is far from enough, and the improvement of the defensive end is the foundation for winning. If they cannot limit the Thunder's outside shooting and inside breakthroughs in the next game, it will be difficult to reverse the decline even if they have a home advantage. As the famous mouth said, "A team without defense will not go far after all." The content and pictures are from the public network.
