Just today, Halliburton won the final victory, achieving a unique NBA achievement in 1979

Before the finals started, the outside world was almost one-sidedly optimistic about the Thunder. The Thunder are the top team with 68 wins and are the number one team in the regular season. The Pacers only have 50 wins in the regular season, and they are only ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference. But on today's finals stage, Halliburton and the Pacers once again proved their magic. The Thunder led by a full 47 minutes and 59 seconds until the last 0.3 seconds, and was defeated by the Pacers. Just today, Halliburton won the finals again, achieving a unique NBA achievement in 1979.

From the perspective of the game progress, the Thunder also showed the dominance of a strong team. In the first half, the Thunder caused 19 mistakes by the Pacers, and the team sent 11 steals, successfully leading by double digits. However, the problem with the Thunder is that the offense is too inefficient and the performance of both internal and external lines is not outstanding. Therefore, the Pacers still have a small difference in scores after 19 mistakes and 11 steals. After the change of sides, the Pacers were more cautious in passing the ball, and only made 5 mistakes in the second half. The Thunder team had no chance to steal and counterattack, and there were major problems with their position attacks.

The Pacers scored 35 points in the final quarter. After the role players frequently hit three-pointers, Halliburton completed a final mid-range shot at the last moment, helping the team defeat the Thunder 111-110, and the Pacers led the Thunder 1-0. Not only did the Pacers start the five Tigers score in double digits, but Toppin from the bench also scored 5 three-pointers, which can be said to be the whole nation. Halliburton made great contributions to the team being able to escape and perform a 15-point reversal behind. It is worth mentioning that Halliburton has tied or beaten in four rounds of the playoffs this year, creating a unique NBA achievement in 1979. In the fifth game against the Bucks in the first round, Halliburton made a layup to the Bucks in the last moment. In the second round against the Cavaliers, Halliburton staged a three-pointer win in a step back. In the first game against the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals, Halliburton also achieved a draw in the mid-range shot.

It is said that Halliburton is the most overrated player, but throughout the playoffs, Halliburton averages a gorgeous data of 18.5 points, 5.9 rebounds and 9.5 assists per game, and has a 46.6% shooting percentage. He led the Pacers to overturn the Bucks, Cavaliers and Knicks without being favored. After entering the finals, he also won the first away game, one step closer to the championship. You should know that most superstars have only a handful of final scores in their entire career playoffs, but Halliburton has played four times in one playoffs, which is definitely enough to be recorded in history.
