2-second tactical kill! The Pacers scored 28-14 in the final quarter. Meiji: This is the most suffocating 12 minutes in the playoffs

Pacers define "suffocation defense" in one quarter of the game! They fired a 28-14 attack wave in the last quarter, completing the tactical finale in the last 1.2 seconds, completely destroying the hope of the Thunder counterattack. After the game, Meiji said bluntly: "These 12 minutes are the most oppressive defensive performance of the playoffs this season. The Pacers made it difficult for the Thunder to move forward at home." At the beginning of the final quarter, the Pacers were only 3 points ahead, but they then used a 10-2 attack wave to break the gap. On the defensive end, they adopted a full-game pressing strategy, forcing the Thunder to make 5 mistakes in a single quarter, 3 of which were directly converted into fast break scoring. Halliburton showed the dominance of the top point guard in this quarter. He not only made two key jump shots, but also sent 4 assists. Matherin became his most tacit partner, scoring multiple empty cuts.

Thunder is completely lost in the final quarter. Although core player Alexander scored 25 points, he made only 2 of 6 shots in the final quarter, with three turnovers. The Pacers are all soldiers. In addition to the three core points, the plus-minus value +18 is the highest in the game. McConnell's five steals completely paralyzed the Thunder offensive system. When the final whistle sounded, the Pacers players celebrated with each other, and they proved their championship strength with a team victory.
