7:19pm, 7 June 2025【Basketball】

The first leg of the NBA Finals, the Thunder vs. the Pacers. The Thunder are the regular season champion, while the Pacers are fourth in the Eastern Conference, so the former is unlimitedly optimistic. As long as the Thunder performs normally, there is no big problem in winning the championship. However, Pacers are a team that can create miracles. They can be slapped in the face when they are despised by everyone along the way. This time they have the opportunity to do it. This game is very critical for both sides. Who can win the series is very likely to win.

The Thunder led the Pacers 12 points 57-45 in the first half. By looking at the score, you can tell that the Thunder's defense is too strong, limiting the Pacers only 45 points, and making 18 mistakes. It is worthy of being the league's number one defensive efficiency. The Thunder performs normally on the offensive end and plays at the right level. The Pacers did not adapt to the Thunder's defensive intensity and were not comparable to Eastern teams at all. The offense was completely unstoppable and the rhythm was completely gone, which was very uncomfortable.

Data: Alexander 19 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assists, 2 assists, Dortmund 9 points, 4 rebounds, Harten 7 points, 4 rebounds, Jaylenway 7 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, Caruso 7 points, 2 rebounds, 3 breaks, 2 hats, Chett 4 points and 3 rebounds; McConaughey 9 points, 2 assists, Siakam 8 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, Halliburton 6 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, Tott 6 points, 3 rebounds, 2 hats, Turner 5 points, 3 rebounds, 2 hats, Nesmith 4 points, 8 rebounds, Nemhard 4 points, Shepard 3 points.

After adjusting back in the second half, the two sides were in a stalemate, and the scores rose alternately. The Pacers adapted to the Thunder's defensive intensity and the rhythm kept up. Halliburton threw a high shot, Dortmund made a quick three-pointer, tied the buzzer, Dortmund continued with a three-pointer, Nemhard made a breakthrough and layup, Chett cut a blank and dunked, the difference was still 12 points. Halliburton and Toppin were gone for three points, Alexander was mid-range, Hartten made up the dunk, Toppin and mop scored, and the score was tightly bitten.

Sica's three-pointer came, and Alexander responded quickly, worthy of the MVP and did not give the Pacers a chance. In the fourth quarter, the Thunder continued to suppress the Pacers, and the defense intensity increased again. The Pacers made mistakes and were constantly hit by counterattacks. With Jaylenway dunked, the difference reached 15 points.

Pacers did not collapse, Nemhard, Topin and Turner scored successively, and the score difference returned to 8 points. Wallace broke the scoring drought, Toppin and Turner made another three-pointer, and the difference reached 4 points. Alexander made a free throw, Turner made a mid-range shot, Jaylenway made another kill, Halliburton broke through and hit the board, Chet failed to make a layup, Turner did not make an open three-pointer, Alexander made a breakthrough, Halliburton still did not have a three-pointer, and Alexander continued to score.

NeSmith and Nemhard scored their lives with three-pointers, Sika defended and attacked with one point, and the difference reached 1 point. Alexander failed to make a mid-range distance, Halliburton made two points in a emergency stop, and the latter was better at the critical moment. In the end, the Pacers completed the reversal and defeated the Thunder 111-110, which was incredible.

Haliburton is really a magical player, and it is his performance that helps the team survive in desperate situations and take away victory. We have watched this plot many times. Alexander played well in front, but he lost his chain at a critical moment. He was blocked by Sika once and failed to make a mid-range shot, which led to the team losing. After the game, Alexander was also bombarded by the US Open. It would be impossible to have no whistle. He was a little panicked at the critical moment and even blamed his teammates. It shouldn't be.
