The "Little Heavenly King Mountain Battle" in the NBA Finals, the Pacers "hold a good hand" collapsed and lost the game in the final quarter. There are three main reasons. Many people performed poorly and must make timely adjustments, otherwise it will be difficult to play in the series! In the first three finals, the Pacers led 2:1 and took the initiative. G4 played at home, leading 7 points in the first three quarters. At most, he led the Thunder to double digits, but a collapse occurred in the last quarter, allowing the opponent to score a 31:17 offensive climax. He lost 14 points in a single quarter and finally suffered a reversal of 107:111, allowing the opponent to equalize the big score 2:2. The G5 Thunder will return to home, and the Pacers are in a passive position.

The Thunder lost the game for three main reasons:

1: G3, Shepard successfully restricted Alexander's performance, and only allowed him to score 24 points in the whole game to make 6 mistakes, with a plus-minus value of -3, G4. The Pacers did a good job in Alexander's defense in the first three quarters, but the Thunder changed their strategy in the last quarter and solved this problem perfectly by changing defense. Alexander scored 15 points in the last quarter. This targeted change made the Pacers "unexpected" and Nesmith "losed" too many fouls, which was the key factor that caused the team to redirect inward.

2: Matherin's last-minute free throw was "speechless" with the court condition. He first missed two free throws, then made one of two free throws, and sent the opponent to the free throw line. He made 5 of 8 free throws in the game, snatched only two rebounds. At the critical moment, he gave the Thunder a "assist" to the opponent scored continuously, resulting in the Pacers losing.

3: Halliburton G3 finally recovered its state and maintained a stable output. He had highlights on the offensive end in this game, but he made a lot of shots, a low hit rate and many mistakes, and his performance was not stable enough. Carlisle, G3 won "Dai Shuai". In this game, Siakam did not give enough ball rights, Topped enough response on the defensive end, and the tactical adjustment was not timely, and the wise suffered a loss in the game.

Pacers can win G3, the coach is good at scheduling the game, "all people are soldiers" on the court, with balanced offense and defense, and better performance, G4 Totel scored 17 points and 7 rebounds, which could help the team score a difference in points. Siakam scored 20 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals, and 1 block. The data was pretty good. Nemhard, his defense was strong enough, he scored 10 points on the offensive end, but his key mistakes were "eye-shot". Turner made 0 of 6 three-pointers, and his offensive end was "unable to see". Nesmith made 2 of 9 shots, wasted too much ball rights, and the key foul was even more annoying. At the last moment, he "completely failed" for Alexander's defense, Halliburton, 3 points, 1 of 7 shots, and 5 mistakes. This performance was nothing to say. Matherin, the free throw was awkward at the last moment, and the "brainless foul" caused the team to quickly lose points. Many players were awkward, and Carlisle also lost the chain. The Pacers "lost a good game" allowed the Thunder to equalize the big score.

June 17, 8:30, the Thunder's home court, the real "Shenwang Mountain Battle" in the finals, the pressure and challenges the Pacers face can be imagined. If you want to win, you must make effective adjustments. Once you lose the away game and fall behind 3:2, it will be difficult to play in this round of series. Can the Pacers, who "leads the troops" by Carlisle, withstand the test? What kind of answer can you give? What do fans think?
