Pacers 7 people on Double Harry s magic failed, Thunder 5 factors successfully cooked, Wiggins exploded first

The second game of the NBA Finals Thunder and Pacers' series, the Thunder, who was at home, defeated their opponents 123-107 and scored a goal. The current total score between the two sides is 1-1, and the third and fourth games will be played at the Pacers' home court.

This game is very similar to the first game. The Thunder scored first at the beginning, but did not start 7-0. The Pacers resisted tenaciously, and the Thunder tried hard to widen the score gap. In the quarter, Alexander made a certain score advantage, but Halliburton hit a 3-pointer with 2 minutes and 43 seconds left in the first quarter to help the Pacers take the lead. In the last 2 minutes, Chet made a 7-0 wave, and the Thunder led by 6 points to end the competition in the first quarter.

The Thunder obviously paid more attention to this game than in the previous game. As soon as the first quarter started, he used the first defense player Dort to follow Halliburton, not allowing him to have a chance to make a phone call. After Caruso came on the court, he also defended Harry tightly, not giving him the opportunity to use magic.

Willings joined forces with Jaylenway and Caruso to score points in the second quarter, and the Thunder led by 10 points; Wiggins scored another 3 points in the quarter, and Jaylenway and Chet also scored points one after another, and the Thunder led by 15 points 42-27. The Thunder was not strong enough in the last game, which led to Alexander's exhaustion in the last stage of the fourth quarter and even made mistakes and was reversed by the Pacers. In this game, they took the initiative to stand up and share the pressure.

Carlisle was very smart. He knew that falling behind by 15 points was a hurdle, so he immediately called a timeout. In the last game, the Pacers controlled the maximum to fall behind by about 15 points, and finally had the opportunity to turn the tables.

Although it was effective after returning from this timeout, the Pacers broke the scoring drought, Alexander was also very clear about Carlisle's strategy. He immediately stood up and scored 5 points in a row. After Wiggins hit a 3-pointer, Alexander added 2 points. The Thunder led by 23 points 52-29 and stopped his opponent again.

After the timeout came back, the Pacers made a 10-0 stop to the Thunder. After the timeout came back, Alexander scored 2 points, Caruso scored 3 points, and the Thunder led by 18 points 59-41 to end the first half.

After the start of the third quarter, the Pacers Turner scored consecutive points. Jaylenway and Alexander joined forces to suppress it. In the quarter, Nesmith scored 3 points and fell behind only 14 points. The Thunder immediately stopped.

The timeout came back and Jaylenway scored a free throw. After that, Caruso scored 5 points in a row, Alexander and 2 points were added. Siakam, on the Pacers, made consecutive free throws. At the end of the quarter, Alexander made a strong effort to widen the gap to 20 points. In the end, the Thunder led by 20 points 93-74 and entered the final quarter.

With the lessons from the previous game, the Thunder did not dare to relax at all. Wiggins scored another 3 points, and they led by 22 points at the start of the fourth quarter.

Hariburton began to make a strong effort, but Wiggins hit 3 points again, and Alexander also scored 4 points in a row. The Thunder maintained a 22-point lead in the quarter.

With 4 minutes and 12 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Harry made a 3-pointer to stop the Thunder. After returning, Alexander immediately scored 3 points and successfully responded. After that, Caruso hit a 3-pointer, Wiggins made a free throw. With 2 minutes and 25 seconds left, the Pacers were still 18 points behind. At this time, the Thunder took the initiative to withdraw their main force and announced that they were about to be in the process.

In the end, the Pacers were unable to make up the situation, lost to the Thunder 107-123, and lost to the away game. However, the total score of 1-1 returned to the home court, and they still have a chance to adjust. They should play their own characteristics and not be dragged too much into the positional battle by the Thunder. The opponent's defense is very strong and it is not easy to tear open the opponent's defense line.

For the Thunder, they have the advantage in overall strength. As long as they insist on high-intensity defense, continue to play the whole game, and make reasonable rotation and rest, someone must stand up at critical moments, and the possibility of winning is still greater. In the whole game, the Pacers scored 7 points in double digits, exactly the same as the previous game. The starting lineup did not score 20, but they lost the game in the end because the two main players who did not perform in the last game performed relatively normally.

Alexander scored 34 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals, and stability and efficiency are the basic market; although the second leader Jaylenway still feels bad, he has 19 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, which is not much different from the previous game, but the third leader Chett scored 15 points, 6 rebounds and 9 points more than the previous game.

The most important thing is that substitute Caruso made 4 of 8 three-pointers and scored 20 points and locked Harry, making it impossible for him to use his magic. Aaron Wiggins even scored 5 of 8 three-pointers and scored 18 points and 4 rebounds with only 21 minutes of playing, with a plus-minus value + 24 highest in the game!

Summary, the five most important factors for the Thunder to win this game:

1, Wiggins exploded as a surprise

2, the team defended

3, Alexander's basic floor performance was stable and efficient

4, Caruso's offense was efficient and joined forces with Dort to lock Harry

5, Chet performed normally
