Finals G4 prediction: Halliburton leads the Pacers to the match point, and the Thunder s winning streak is under great pressure
3:15pm, 14 June 2025Basketball
At 8:30 am on June 14, the Pacers faced the Thunder at home and started the fourth game of the finals. Previously, the Pacers led the overall score by 2-1. In this crucial fourth game, Trent Halliburton led the team to compete for match points, and can Sharon Alexander drag the series into suspense?
Thunder remained calm, and the walkers dared not take it lightly. Game 4 of the Finals is about to begin, and both teams say they won't make a big adjustment to the strategy that has proven effective before. The Pacers are currently leading the seven-game four-win series 2-1 - an advantage that the Pacers have shown this season's playoffs.
"Our current challenge is to stay ahead," Pacers coach Carlisle said. "To beat these guys, we have to play well. We are the side in question in every game... It's a huge test. Without full commitment and determination, we don't have a chance."
Pacers performed well under an underrated role, and guard Halliburton said after winning the first game that such a role has inspired him and the team since last season.
For Thunder, this is the second time they are facing such a disadvantage. They also ended up winning against the Nuggets in the Western Conference semifinals. In the regular season, the Thunder had only two consecutive losses, and has not suffered two consecutive losses so far in the playoffs.
"In a 1-2-draw, emotions may fluctuate, but that doesn't mean things will get better as we move into the next game," Thunder coach Dagnot said. "They are currently leading 2-1, and I'm not happy with this mentality. Once the game starts, we have to go all out. We have developed this habit and we have to focus more tomorrow."
Regional MVP Alexander pointed out that while it's hard to directly compare the current situation with previous series against the Nuggets, the team can still learn from the way they handle it.
"We need to be good at ourselves and continue the performance throughout the season," Alexander said. "I think we got ourselves back in that series. If we want to win opportunities in this series, we have to stick to it."
