The big collapse! The big dark horse missed the lead 3-1: the whole game was silent, Halliburton was no longer magical

On June 14, the NBA Finals G4 kicked off, and the Pacers played against the Thunder at home. The Pacers, who returned to home court, were full of momentum, and they took the initiative early this time. The Thunder quickly adjusted. In the second half, the Pacers once took the lead by 10 points, but the Thunder successfully caught up in the final quarter, and the two sides fell into a tug-of-war. Alexander scored consecutive points at the critical moment to help the team achieve a reversal. In the end, the Thunder defeated the Pacers 111-104, and the series score reached 2-2.

As the Pacers of the big dark horse, after G3 returned to home to win the game, the team's morale was greatly boosted. This time, he performed very strongly, taking the initiative on the field early and maintaining the lead since then, which has not happened in the previous three games. In the first three quarters, the Pacers were always taking the initiative, leading by 10 points at most, and 7 points after the third quarter. I thought they would get the match point 3-1 first, but I didn't expect that they would collapse directly in the final quarter. They only scored 17 points in a single quarter, and they directly ruined the game and eventually lost the game.

You should know that in the first three games of the finals, the Pacers are the winners in the final quarter, which also means they are good at playing critical moments. But this time they were directly beaten by Alexander at a critical moment, and the magic was not performed, so they could only watch the Thunder tie the big score. Entering the last 5 minutes, Alexander scored as much as 15 points by himself, helping the team turn the situation around and take away the victory.

Alexander, who was so strong, also left the Pacers silent. Even if he complained that he got the free throw and booed, he could not stop him from continuing to score points. In this way, the Pacers missed a great opportunity and should have taken the championship point to Oklahoma, but they didn't expect that it would have become a battle of Tianwang Mountain. Once they could not win away, they would fall into a very passive situation.

And Halliburton's magic is no longer the same. He played for 36 minutes, made 7 of 15 shots, scored 18 points and 7 assists. Unfortunately, he made 1 of 7 three-pointers and made 5 mistakes at the same time. However, he finally got a free throw opportunity in the finals, making 3 of 3 free throws in the game. For the Pacers, failing to get the match point in advance at home will disappoint them, but there are not many opportunities for depression and they must be cheered up again. The next step will be the key battle of Tianwang Mountain.
