On June 20, in the sixth game of the finals of this season, the Pacers defeated the Thunder with an astonishing score difference of 90-60. The referee chose to let the players decide the result of the game themselves, but the Thunder suffered a complete collapse. In the first three quarters, the Thunder's three-point shooting percentage was extremely low, and the team only made 1 of 3 shots, which performed extremely poorly. Although Thunder's leader Alexander has been trying to break through the opponent's defense, this time he was unable to rely on the referee's call to gain an advantage, but instead showed obvious restrictions with his eight turnovers. As the league MVP, Alexander was completely blocked at the end of the first three quarters, contributing 21 points, 2 assists and 8 turnovers, and was in a dilemma.
Alexander's 8 turnovers are in sharp contrast with his only 2 assists. He created far fewer scoring opportunities for his teammates than the offensive opportunities given to his opponents, which made the Thunder unable to find an effective offensive rhythm as a whole. The other two key players of the Thunder also performed poorly. Jaylen Williams scored 16 points but made 3 turnovers and only 1 assist, while Chet made only 2 of 9 shots, scored 4 points and no assists. The "Big Three" and "Three Young Masters" that the entire team relies on only contributed 41 points in this game, which is in sharp contrast to the highlights of the previous game. The Thunder's situation seems precarious. On the contrary, the Pacers showed unity and cohesion, and players such as Halliburton, Nemhard, and Siakam all performed well, which improved the overall strength of the Pacers.
Pacers showed strong offensive firepower and a stable defensive posture in this game, especially with a clear advantage in three-point shooting percentage. The Thunder's mistakes and ineffective attack allowed the Pacers to win easily, while the Pacers players showed the fighting spirit of a mourning soldier to win and defeated the opponent's resistance. As the Thunder chooses to surrender at the end of the third quarter, they prepare for the next long finals tiebreak.
