11:44am, 20 June 2025【Basketball】

After the G6 halftime in the NBA Finals, the Indiana Pacers led the Oklahoma City Thunder 64-42 at home 22 points! This game was almost one-sided, with all Pacers breaking out, while the Thunder fell into a full slump, making frequent mistakes, completely inaccurate three-pointers, and only two scored in double digits in the first half.

Pacers were fully fired, and the starting five Tigers scored 45 points together

Siakam: 13 points, and the inside strong attack scored repeatedly

Halilburton: 12 points, three-pointers + breakthroughs opened fire in full

Nembhard: 10 points, stable output connected to the whole team

Turner + Nesmith: a total of 10 points, and a huge contribution to the defensive end

bench: a total of 19 points, and the continued firepower suppression

is really surprising. Judging from the statistics, the Thunder exposed many problems in this half game.

They made 12 turnovers throughout the game, which gave the Pacers a lot of easy scoring opportunities, and the Pacers took advantage of the turnover and scored 16 points in the halftime.

At the same time, the Thunder's three-point shooting performance was awful, with only 1 goal hitting 1 goal with a three-point shooting percentage as low as 9.1%. Such an inefficient outside attack seriously restricts their scoring ability. In the first half, only Alexander and Jewey scored in double-digit points, the former scored 6 of 11 and scored 15 points, the latter scored 6 of 10 and scored 16 points, and Homegren scored 2 of 8 and scored only 4 points, and the team's offense was completely stagnant.

From the perspective of the game progress, the Pacers took the initiative from the beginning. With their active defense, they forced the Thunder to make a lot of mistakes and seize the opportunity to launch an efficient counterattack.

On the offensive end, the Pacers have implemented tactical skills and the players cooperate tacitly. Whether it is a strong attack on the inside or a three-pointer from the outside, it has put huge pressure on the Thunder's defense.

The Thunders want to reverse in the second half, the difficulty can be imagined. They have to solve the problem of excessive turnovers and low three-point shooting percentage, while the rest of the team needs to stand up and share the scoring pressure for Alexander and Jaylen Williams.

, and the Pacers need to maintain their existing advantages, continue to stabilize their defense, continue their efficient offensive performance, and launch an attack towards the victory of the finals.

In the second half of this game, was it the Pacers who won the victory in one go, or was the Thunder who staged a Jedi counterattack? Let's wait and see!
