On June 12, the NBA Finals G3 kicked off, and the Pacers played against the Thunder at home. The Pacers were still in a passive situation, but in the second quarter, Mathering and McConaughey led the team to launch a crazy counterattack, and overtook the net victory in a single quarter by 12 points. In the second half, the two teams were in a tug-of-war, and the gap did not widen. The two teams had offensives, but the Thunder attack was silent in the final stage, while the Pacers made a concerted effort to widen the gap. In the end, the Pacers defeated the Thunder 116-107 and led 2-1 with a big score.

This is the Pacers' victory at home again after 25 years, and the fans are also in a carnival. They played very tenaciously in this game and were still at a disadvantage when they came up. However, they slowly got into the state and kept biting the score. Then they relied on a better state in the last quarter, coupled with the cheers of home fans, let them take the initiative on the court. Nesmith's three-point directly made the Thunder lose resistance and finally won the victory. After entering the playoffs, the Pacers have been unpopular, but they completed the counterattack all the way and finally reached the finals. This is the team's return to the finals after 25 years. In the finals, they faced the league's No. 1 Thunder. The outside world generally believed that the battle would end in 5 games. Unexpectedly, the Pacers are now leading 2-1 and become the leading side. I believe that no one will look down on them anymore at this moment.

This time, the Pacers no longer rely on no scorers. Matherin on the bench became the Super Stunner, 9 of 12 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, scored 27 points and 4 rebounds, plus or negative values ​​+16. In addition, Halliburton also recovered his form, making 9 of 17 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers, scoring 22 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists, with a quasi-triple double-digit data; Siakam scored 21 points and 6 rebounds. In the first two games of the finals, no Pacers scored 20+ points, but I didn’t expect that this time, three players will go 20+. The big dark horse is still making a comeback, but the Thunder is in a passive situation. They were originally favored, but now they are facing difficulties. This time, the team's three giants Alexander + Jewish + Homgren scored 70 points, and all scored 20+, but they still couldn't help the team win the game. This game was also rare to see Alexander's fatigue. He had a low presence on the court, and he scored 24 points in 9 of 20. In addition, the Thunder made up 19 turnovers this time, which is their highest in the playoffs. It is indeed difficult to win the game with such a performance.
