On June 9, in the finals G2, the Thunder led the Pacers 26-20 in the first quarter. The person who broke the balance in the first quarter was Homgren. He scored 9 points in 4 of 5 in the first quarter. Daimport said after the G1 game that he believed he was really right.

This game is too important for the Thunder, because G1 was reversed by 15 points by the Pacers, and Halliburton still scored 0.3 seconds before the final game. The Pacers were still 7 points behind in the last 3 minutes. It can only be said that OKC did not seize the opportunity. Daimport's strategy of refusing to use the inside was also criticized after the game.

Unexpectedly, Daimport did not change the starter in this game. He still asked Hartten to play as a substitute and use Wallace to play as a starting lineup, which is the 1-to-4-small lineup. Moreover, because this is the key G2, the Thunder's tickets were also hyped up by scalpers at a high price. The most expensive VIP sideline tickets were as high as 354,000 yuan per game, and there were two VIP boxes that exceeded 260,000 US dollars.

The two teams did not start the attack at the beginning of the first quarter. Alexander only scored 6 points and 3 assists in the first quarter, but Holmgren, who performed 2 of 9 in the last game, stepped forward. He made 4 of 5 shots and 1 of 1 of 1 of 3-pointers in the first quarter and scored 9 points and 2 rebounds. His score in the first quarter of this game has exceeded G1 in the finals. It was Holmgren's performance that helped the Thunder overtake in the second half of the first quarter.

Homgren also gave a big hat on the defensive end. Sika and Halliburton only scored 3 points in the first quarter, and the Pacers' offense was very restricted. After this first quarter, the Pacers made 7 of 21 shots and 5 of 14 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of only 33% and a three-point shooting percentage of 35.7%. It is obvious that the Thunder's defense is successful.

So after watching this first quarter, do some Thunder fans think that the 354,000 sideline scalpers are worth it?
