The Thunder defeated the Pacers 3-2, and the opportunity to advance will be in their hands

After defeating the Pacers 120-109 at home, the Thunder led 3-2 with a total score, just one victory away from the championship. The Thunder performed perfectly in this game, the stars performed stably and strongly, the role players stood up, the whole team had both offense and defense, and cooperated with both internal and external skills, winning the victory they deserved. On the contrary, the Pacers were tired during the game, the main players were inaccurate, and made frequent mistakes at critical moments, without any suspense. The momentum is obviously biased towards the Thunder. Unless the Pacers show strong counterattack ability, the away game will become a scene for them to watch their opponents win the cup.

The following are comments from various media experts on the post-match situation:

Junior brother from the basketball circle pointed out that the Thunder won the battle of Tianwang Mountain and led 3:2 in the finals. Although the Pacers have a chance to return to home in the next game to fight for a rebound, Halliburton's injury may be difficult to withstand the pressure of the next game.

Mai Suifeng commented: After winning the victory of Tianwang Mountain, the Thunder led 3-2, and it is very close to the first NBA championship in the team history. Opportunities change destiny, so seizing opportunities is crucial. The Pacers missed the opportunity to win this championship and are not sure whether they will have to wait 25 years for the next time to enter the finals. I hope Halliburton will recover quickly and create a complete story of striving for her ideals.

Beijing media celebrity Song Xiang said bluntly: Although McConnell showed extraordinary performance in the third quarter, this did not change the situation of the game, but only narrowed the score difference between the Pacers falling behind. Entering the Tianwang Mountain stage of the finals, it is inevitable to compete for top players. As can be seen from the fifth game, there is a substantial gap between Alexander and Halliburton. Although Halliburton's injury problem had a great impact, the final result was proof of the game.

Pacers are used to an outbreak before the game ends to try to reverse the situation. Although their ability to turn the tables against the wind has been demonstrated many times in the playoffs, it will be quite difficult to complete this feat multiple times in the finals.

There have been signs that Jiewei's potential have begun to shoulder more responsibilities in previous games, and in this game he even stood up to play the role of the second in command. Javi has the ability to break through and score, and the Pacers are worried about this. If Alexander and Javier also performed well in Game 6, even in the away game, the Thunder would have a very high chance of reaching the top.

Overall, the playoffs test the players' personal abilities. Obviously, the Thunder's dual core is stronger and more stable, Alexander and Sika are well balanced, and Jaylenway's performance overtaking Halliburton is outstanding. Looking forward to whether Halliburton can achieve self-salvation in the sixth game, this may be his last chance to win the championship in his life and must strive for it with all his strength.
