The

NBA Finals continued this morning, with the Indiana Pacers playing against the Oklahoma City Thunder at home, and this is their last chance. The Pacers are already behind 2-3 before the game, and they will end the journey of this season if they lose another game. In addition, Halliburton, the Pacers' main defender, had already strained his calf in the G5 of the finals, and he was on the court with an injury in this game.

No matter from any perspective, the Pacers are at a disadvantage, and the Thunder have also seen the opportunity. They think the series may end today and have booked the best steakhouse in Indiana and are ready to enjoy the championship meal after winning the championship.

But in the game, the Pacers did not give up, and they still attacked with all their might, striving to drag the series into the tiebreak. Although Halliburton made 0 of 3 shots at the beginning, the more he played, he got smoother and smoother he scored 14 points and 5 assists in the game, and his performance was still OK. The Pacers' winning hand is Siakam, who is the key figure in turning the momentum around. Siakam stepped forward with the team making 0 of 7 shots at the beginning, scored consecutive singles and scored 5 points in a row, helping the Pacers stabilize their position. With Nembhard's three-pointer hit, the Pacers took the lead and were no longer caught up by the Thunder.

Siakam fully utilized his wing height advantage and frequently held the ball to play against the Thunder's forward line at the low post. The Thunder team's forward is not tall and was eaten raw by Doncic last year. There are not many ways to face Siakam in this year's finals.

As Siakam opened up, the Pacers' mood was rising and they became more and more confident as they played. At the end of the second quarter, Halliburton and Siakam made a fast break. Siakam received the ball and completed an amazing all-match dunk, which greatly boosted the morale of the Pacers. In the end, the Pacers defeated the Thunder 108-91, and entered the tiebreak in the finals.
