In this game, the Pacers made as many as 24 mistakes, 18 more than the Thunder, but they became the first team in the history of the Finals to win in this situation. Moreover, the Pacers can be called the "king of reversals" this year. They have completed 5 reversals of at least 15 points. They are the most in a single playoff in the play-by-play era. They are 5 wins and 3 losses on the nights behind by more than 15 points. In this game, they tied the biggest final quarter reversal difference in the NBA Finals in the past 50 years, and made a comeback while falling behind by 15 points in the last quarter.

Reviewing the game, the Thunder led 29-20 with Alexander's outstanding performance in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Thunder's Caruso made consecutive steals, Dortmund made a three-pointer. Although the Pacers tried hard to catch up, they still trailed 45-57 in the first half. In the third quarter, the Pacers gradually regained their rhythm and narrowed the score difference to single digits. In the final quarter, the Thunder once led by 15 points, but the Pacers suddenly broke out, and the Pacers were still behind in the last 90 seconds of the game. First, Turner and Toppin hit a three-pointer to get the score close. Then, Halliburton made a breakthrough and then hit a key three-pointer, and the Pacers' 109-110 score difference narrowed to 1 point. After the Thunder missed the attack, Halliburton received the ball 0.3 seconds before the final game, and made a jump shot near the top of the arc, and the basketball went into the net hollow, completing the final kill. In just 90 seconds, Halliburton made all six shots with his outstanding personal ability and big heart, helping the Pacers to reverse and win the game.

It is worth mentioning that since 1998, only 4 teams have won the game with no more than 30 seconds in a playoff game. The Pacers are one of them, and they are only 0.3 seconds ahead. The other three teams are: the G2 Spurs led by 10 seconds in the 1999 Western Conference Finals, the G5 Mavericks led by 30 seconds in the first round of 2001, and the G4 Lakers led by 13 seconds in the 2002 Western Conference Finals. In this year's playoffs, Halliburton scored 6 of 7 shots in 1997, the highest in a single playoff since 1997. He is undoubtedly the key man of the Pacers. In this game, the Pacers wrote history with their tenacious fighting spirit and excellent execution. When they were not optimistic, they won at home at the Thunder and led 1-0 in the total score, laying a psychological advantage for the championship battle. The Thunder need to summarize carefully. We will wait and see whether they can bottom out in the next game.
