The NBA Finals are in full swing, and the Pacers and Thunder are fighting 2-1, and the Pacers control the initiative in the series. According to statistics from the NBA official website, the Pacers are the third No. 4 or lower seed team in NBA history to lead the No. 4 or lower score after the Finals G3. The last team was the No. 6 seed Rockets in 1995 (winning the championship). In another statistics, the team that led 2-1 in the finals had an 81% chance of winning the championship. In addition, there are many new developments in the NBA Finals, let’s take a look.

FMVP list update

NBA officially announced the third FMVP list of the Finals, as follows: Halliburton returned to the top (2nd place in the last issue), Alexander fell to the second place (1st place in the last issue), Siakam rose to the third place (5th place in the last issue), Jaylen Williams ranked 4th (4th place in the last issue), and Nemhard ranked 5th (not on the last issue). It is worth mentioning that Caruso, who ranked third in the last issue, fell off the list. Halliburton deserves his return to the top of the FMVP list, and the two games the Pacers won are inseparable from Halliburton's magical performance. According to statistics, Halliburton scored a total of 53 points in the first three games of the Finals, which is the highest scoring record for 0 free throws in any three Finals in NBA history.

NBA God-level record is born

Thunder and Pacers are both teams in small markets, with low ratings expected in the Finals - G1's ratings hit the lowest since the new crown period in 2019, and G2's ratings are only higher than the 20-year campus. This is also the second time in NBA history that G2's ratings are lower than G1, the first time was the Spurs VS Cavaliers in 2007. However, from the Pacers' G1 winning Thunder to the G3 winning Thunder again, this round of finals became interesting, and countless fans who missed the live broadcast couldn't help but "make up" on social media. According to official news from the NBA, the number of views on global social media platforms in the first three games of the Finals has exceeded 1.5 billion times, setting a new record in NBA history and is still growing.

Alexander wants to learn from Halliburton that the Thunder is behind 1-2 is not the end of the world, but one thing is certain that the Pacers' counterattack ability is too strong, and the Thunder must regain themselves to turn the world around. Especially the Thunder star Alexander, who should learn from Halliburton and be a real leader. Since the Finals, Halliburton's way of leading the team and his performance at critical moments are amazing. On the other hand, Alexander has only started the scoring king mode, not the MVP mode, especially in the decisive moment, when Alexander cannot get the whistle, his key ball is really not as good as Halliburton. According to statistics, this year's playoffs, when Alexander did not score more than 8 free throws in a single game, the Thunder's record was 4 wins and 4 losses, and the finals record was 0 wins and 2 losses; on the contrary, the Thunder's record was 10 wins and 1 loss, and the finals record was 1 wins and 0 losses. On the other hand, Halliburton led the team to win 2 games with 0 free throws in 3 games, which was enough to put Alexander in shame. Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
