20 points in 12 minutes + 4 free throws in the final victory: Matherin swept the haze and was praised for his great battle, and he can score 200 million this summer

Pacers defeated the Knicks 130-121 at home and led 3-1 with a big score. This game of G4 has laid the tone of the Eastern Conference Finals, because the teams leading 3-1 in NBA history have a 95.6% chance of promotion. Throughout history, only 13 teams have completed a 1-3 reversal. Halliburton even made a 32-point, 15 assists, 12 rebounds and 0 mistakes in the Battle of the Gods.

But in this game, Matherin is definitely the super surprise who won the game. He is the Pacers' only 20+ choice except Halliburton and Siakam. The most important thing is that he only played 12 minutes and 29 seconds in the whole game.

In this game, Matherin made 5 of 8 shots, 10 of 11 free throws, scored 20 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 0 turnovers, with a shooting percentage of 62.5%. He scored 1 minute and 4 minutes in the first quarter, scored 5 minutes in one minute in the third quarter, and four free throws in the first 14 seconds of the final game and 6 seconds of the final game, he hit 3 to firmly control the game and lock the victory.

The Pacers fans mocked the live broadcaster: Every time Mathering scored, those commentators said that he was a bad series round. (The first three games of the Eastern Conference Finals scored 11 points in 40 minutes)

Pacers reporter Alex Golden: Welcome to exchange for Mathering. His performance in this game was so exciting. He performed well in every field of the game - cutting the ball, stealing, scrambling near the rebound, and flexible passing.

Matherin was interviewed after the game: "Our goal is very clear. Everyone wants to win the championship. As long as they have firm beliefs, they will do the right thing. I think tonight is a big step towards the championship."

US media: 12 minutes and 20 minutes, he is an important part, a great game.

Matherin entered the league in the 2022 draft. He has played in the league for three seasons, averaging 16.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game in the regular season. He is eligible to sign a five-year maximum salary of 276 million with the Pacers this summer. Of course, it depends on whether the Pacers are willing to give it.
