3-point winning + 20-point reversal, NBA upset! Halliburton roared and celebrated, Mitchell scored 48 points in vain
10:48am, 14 May 2025【Basketball】
Hey, friends, do you dare to believe that a team can complete a final comeback from 20 minutes behind to the last 46 seconds? Last night, the second match of the NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals, the Pacers vs. the Cavaliers were simply a roller coaster with a heartbeat of 180! Halliburton's cold-blooded three-pointer directly defeated the Cavaliers at 120:119, and the whole audience was in full bloom. The scene of his roar and celebrating made me feel goosebumps! I was both excited and moved to see this game. The Cavaliers are short of soldiers and the Major General can still play like this. The Pacers' tenacity is really not enough. Let's talk about how exciting this game is today!
The last moment of the game, Halliburton missed the second free throw, and my heart was in my throat, thinking that it was over now, right? But the young man grabbed the rebound by himself, and a three-pointer changed direction and took a three-pointer. The ball entered and the light was on, 120:119! At that moment, the whole stadium seemed to be in an uproar. Halliburton roared and beat his chest. His teammates rushed up to surround him and jumped and screamed, and there were even screams in the audience. To put it bluntly, who can't watch this scene? I think if I were on the scene, my voice would probably be hoarse!
Let's first call back the time and talk about the situation of these two teams. The Cavaliers are very awesome this season. They are the first in the Eastern Conference in the regular season and swept the Heat 4-0 in the first round of the playoffs, which is a favorite to win the championship. But in the semi-finals, the first game was unexpectedly won by the Pacers at home, trailing 0:1 and losing their home advantage. The second game was even worse, with injuries that were directly overwhelmed. Mobley, Garland and Hunter were all missing, and Mitchell was the only one who struggled. I have a friend who is a Cavaliers fan. When I saw the lineup list, I screamed in the group: "What else is this? I feel so cold!" On the other hand, the Pacers killed the Bucks in the first round, and had a high morale. They won the away game in the first game. All the players were healthy in the second game, and they were all ready to fight, obviously wanting to kill the Cavaliers 2:0. If you taste it, you should carefully taste it. Isn’t the Knight in such a way that the strength comparison is so strong?
The Cavaliers did not disappoint. In the first quarter, they directly opened fire, Mitchell blossomed inside and outside, Allen and Struz also scored consecutively, scoring 32 points in a single quarter, leading the Pacers by 17 points! In the second quarter, the Pacers began to counterattack, Matherine broke through and shot one by one in the middle, Turner and Nemhard also stood up, scoring 35 points in a single quarter, but the Cavaliers still led by 11 points in the first half. To be honest, at that time I really felt that Mitchell was a "god of war". He carried the team forward alone, sweat dripping from his forehead, and his eyes were full of stubbornness of "not admitting defeat". If the three main players are missing, they can still fight like this. Who can’t say "Awesome" to the Knights' fighting spirit? In the third quarter, the two teams began to fight with real swords and guns. On the Pacers, Nesmith, Turner and Halliburton fired in turn, and the firepower was strong; the Cavaliers leaned on Mitchell, Allen and Struz to the hard top, and the score difference was even widening 37:34 in a single quarter. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Pacers suddenly accelerated and their defense also rose. The Cavaliers were obviously a little tired, and their mistakes were one after another, and the score difference was slightly eroded. I remember a penalty was particularly heartbreaking at that time. The Cavaliers were utterly fouled for an inexplicable attack. Mitchell spread his hands directly, his eyes full of helplessness, and the fans on the sidelines were even more scolding. At that moment, I was really worried for the Cavaliers and thought to myself: If the score difference narrows, I am afraid something will happen!
As expected, in the last 46 seconds of the game, the plot reversed a lot. The Cavaliers are still 7 points ahead, and I thought to myself that this should be stable, right? But the walker doesn't believe in evil, and he scored continuously to catch up with the score difference to only 2 points left! There were only a few seconds left, Halliburton stood on the free throw line, and the first free throw was in, and the second free throw was confiscated, and my heart was almost stopped. But this guy grabbed the rebound by himself, and time seemed to be still. The stadium was so quiet that he could hear his heartbeat. He changed direction and took a step back. The ball took a swish and entered! 120:119, the ultimate kill! At that moment, I jumped up directly in front of the screen, shouting: "This is too cruel!" The Pacers' bench exploded directly, the coach rushed into the court to hug Halliburton, and the Cavaliers stood there on the spot. Mitchell lowered his head and sighed, his eyes full of loss. This contrast is so sad and shocking!
After the game, Haliburton made an indelible contribution to the Pacers' victory in this game. 7 of 11 shots, scoring 19 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Although he didn't have a high desire to attack, he stood up at a critical moment and won the second final victory in the playoffs, which was a big heart! In contrast, Mitchell tried his best, scored 48 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists in 15 of 30 shots, and 4 players in the team scored in double digits, and 3 players scored 20+, but in the end it still couldn't stand it. I felt sorry for me no matter how strong Mitchell was alone, he could not resist the team’s mistakes! I have to say that if the Cavaliers' injury is not solved, the subsequent game will still be hanging. But I really admire the tenacity of the Pacers. I didn’t panic when I lag behind by 20 points, and turned the tables and took the lead 2:0. Isn’t this a true portrayal of “not revealed until the end”?
Okay, the game has ended here. I believe you are the same as me, and your heart is surging. Isn’t the charm of basketball lies in this excitement and unknown? Let’s see if the Cavaliers can get back the field, or if the Pacers continue to "dark horse" to the end!
