On June 22, the NBA Finals will usher in the final showdown, and the Thunder will tiebreaker against the Pacers at home. The NBA official has also begun to warm up for the finals tiebreak, and has released a number of data on tiebreaks. This is the 20th tiebreak in the history of the finals. Among them, the teams that play in the home team have the absolute advantage, and the home team won the final championship 15 times in the first 19 times. Next, let’s list some cold knowledge about the finals.

Entering the finals tiebreak, both teams will be very cautious. After all, there is no room for mistakes, and there are rarely big games. According to statistics, the biggest winning score difference in the NBA Finals tiebreak is 17 points, and there has not been too many one-sided situations. The average net score is only 6.9 points, which is also the game with the least net score in the seven games in the finals.

And in the past 8 tiebreak matches, the score difference was in single digits. The last time the Warriors lost to the Cavaliers 89-93 at home, the score difference was only 4 points. Such a critical game, the more stalemate it will attract the outside world. Once the gap is opened early, there will definitely be no topic. The Thunder and the Pacers also had a big showdown in the first 6 games, but the Pacers have a strong ability to chase points and can catch up even if they are 20 points behind. However, this time I believe they will not face a 20 point behind.

For the Thunder, they also have a great advantage and have an exceeding winning rate at home. In the finals tiebreak, the teams who played at home won 15 wins and 4 losses in the first 19 matches. Obviously, the enthusiasm brought by the fans will help them. The Russian city mayor has also called on fans to enter the court early, and the whole game should be kept enthusiastic and give the home team players the greatest enthusiasm. In addition, Alexander and Jaylen Williams need to adjust their form, after all, they are not performing very well in the G6. The Pacers will see if they can become the fifth team to make a comeback. Previously, only the Cavaliers in 2016, the Wizards in 1978, the Celtics in 1974 and the Celtics in 1969 won the championship away in the tiebreak. However, they also have some advantages. The teams that won the G6 in the last three games in the finals all won the championship in the tiebreak. Finally, I would like to say that these data are for reference only and do not represent anything. Everything requires the players' performance on the court.
