The Thunder s 8-0 home game has caused dissatisfaction with the US media! Halliburton made 0 of 6 sleepwalking, and the Pacers were in desperate situation 2-3

The regular season performance this season did not meet expectations, and once made Halliburton labeled the most overrated player. However, after the playoffs started, Halliburton turned into a magician, led the Pacers to defeat strong enemies with his magical personal performance, stood out from the East, and returned to the finals after many years, seeing the hope of winning the first O'Brien Cup in team history.

After the first four finals, the two teams drew 2-2 with a big score. In the fifth game of Tianwang Mountain, the Pacers rushed to Russia to challenge the Thunder again. Halliburton performed poorly in this game, and coupled with the referee's controversial call, the Thunder took a big lead early at home and finally won 120-109, one step away from the first championship in the team history!

[Match Highlights] In the fourth game of the finals, the Pacers once took the initiative to win at home, but unfortunately they collapsed in the final quarter and were scored by Alexander alone, missing the opportunity to win at home to win the championship point first. However, after the Pacers lost in the last 10 games, they were able to bottom out and rebound to win in the next game, and they averaged 14.7 points per game. Whether this law can be continued in this game, conquering Tianwang Mountain in Ox City has become the biggest highlight of this game.

[Match Review]

The Thunder went all the way to the finals, and the most criticized by fans was the referee's favoritism. There were controversial calls in the first quarter of the Battle of Tianwang Mountain. Shortly after the game started, Nemhard tripped by Dortmund when he made a layup. The referee turned a blind eye and directly made Carlisle furious. The referee decisively gave Carlisle a technical foul. The US media "BricksCenter" also stated at the first time: If this ball was attacked by Alexander, the referee would 100% call a defensive foul.

Traveled the fast break dunk at the last moment of the first quarter, but the referee called Bradley to make an offensive foul and pushed Harten down. From slow motion, Harten's false fall was very suspicious, which is also the reason why the US media "NBA Memes" published an article: "What's wrong with the basketball I love?" to express dissatisfaction. The referee's dictator's quotation standard also made the Thunder's defensive movements more and more aggressive. The Pacers' core Haliburton completely lost himself in high-pressure defense. He also suffered an injury and returned to the locker room during the game. Although he quickly returned to the arena, he was unable to turn on the Magician mode. He only made 6 shots in the whole game and only contributed bleak data of 4 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists after the four quarters.

The team's absolute technical and tactical core performance was poor, which also made the Pacers unable to play the overall offense they were proud of. They were in an unfavorable situation of falling behind in scores early. Siakam, who won the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals, took on the offensive banner in this game, filling the data bar with 28 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. McConaughey, who came on the bench, also scored 18 points, but he still couldn't help Halliburton.

With the end of the Battle of Tianwang Mountain in the finals, the Pacers have fallen into a desperate situation of falling behind 2-3 with a score of 2-3. In the sixth life-and-death battle, they will return to Indiana to fight the Thunder again. Whether Halliburton can bottom out and rebound and play a dominant performance, drag the finals into tiebreak, let's wait and see.
