4:47pm, 20 June 2025Basketball

On June 20, in the 6th game of the Pacers and Thunders today, the Pacers, who fought against each other, defeated the Thunder 108-91 at home, tied the score to 3-3. The two teams will decide the final championship through a tiebreak battle. There are a few points after this game that have to be said.

1. Alexander stopped without a body whistle

From the beginning of this game, the Pacers were very strong on the defensive end, and the referee's verdict today was relatively loose, and many physical confrontations were not blown. Although without the support of the body whistle, Alexander still won 8 free throws in the whole game, and his shooting percentage was close to 50%. But overall, Alexander struggled today, and two data can be reflected, one was that there were 8 mistakes in the whole game; the other was that Alexander only made 15 shots in the whole game. You should know that in the first five finals, Alexander averaged 23.2 shots, a total of 8 fewer. Of course, this may be related to the fact that the score difference between today's first three quarters is too big, and Alexander did not play in the fourth quarter.

2. Confrontation between two basketball concepts

In today's game, the two teams well interpreted the basketball concept or basketball culture of the two teams. On the Thunder, it mainly relied on the outstanding performance of Alexander and Jewish to drive other teammates, but today, Alexander and Jewish did not fully explode, resulting in no chance for others to score. The Pacers are the exact opposite. They do not have superstars like Alexander. They adopt the ultimate team basketball strategy of being a soldier for the whole nation. In the last game, Javier's 40 points and Alexander's 31+11 helped the Thunder win. In this game, the Pacers' team basketball won a game back.

3.FMVP has no suspense

After today's game, whether it is the Thunder that ultimately wins the championship or the Pacers, there may be no suspense in FMVP. If the Thunder wins the championship, then FMVP must be Alexander. Originally, Jaylen Williams scored 40 points in the last game and 25+ in the finals for three consecutive games, which caused some suspense to the FMVP. However, today Jay only had 16 points, and the worst thing was the plus-minus value -40, which has set a new record in the history of the NBA Finals.

For the Pacers, if the Pacers finally win the championship, FMVP is Xica. Judging from the progress of the entire finals, Xica performed very stably. As for Halliburton, there were several games in the finals that were bad, and the data were not very good. Even if the team won the championship in the last game, their overall performance in the finals will be worse than that of Sika.

4. Only 4 teams won the away game in the finals 7, which is the last 20 finals tiebreaker in NBA history. In the previous 19 finals tiebreak battles, 15 of them were home teams who won the championship, and only 4 away teams won the championship, namely:

2016: Cavaliers 93-89 Warriors

1978: Bullets 105-99 Supersonics

1974: Celtics 102-87 Bucks

1969: Celtics 108-106 Lakers

It is worth mentioning that in the previous 19 finals tiebreak battles, the final score difference was more than 10 points, and the largest score difference occurred in 1952, and the Lakers beat the Knicks 82-65 by 17 points.

5. The most happy Xiao Hua

Finals reached the tiebreak, and the happiest person may be NBA President Xiao Hua. Because although the number of related video views on social media in this year's finals hit a record high, the ratings are very bad. After the Battle of 7, the ratings can be increased to a certain extent. More importantly, the tickets are sold. According to the ticketing platform data, the lowest ticket price for the Thunder home court in the finals has reached US$1,062, setting a record for the best lowest ticket price in the Thunder team's history. According to the rules, 45% of the playoff ticket revenue must be submitted without the NBA.
