On June 12, the NBA Finals G3, the league's No. 1 Thunder challenged the Pacers away. In the first half, the Thunder led by 8 points in the first quarter and was beaten 40-28 by the Pacers in the second quarter. At the end of the half, the Thunder trailed the Pacers 60-64 by 4 points. Under Carlisle's training, the Pacers are the strongest offensive team in the league. Just like the Mavericks in 2011, they advocate scoring but can also play tenacious defense. In the second half, the Thunder regained the lead again in the third quarter. Jaylen Williams hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer. At the end of the three quarters, the Thunder led the Pacers 89-84 by 5 points.

However, in the fourth quarter, the situation was out of control again, the Thunder was overtaken by the Pacers, Halliburton continued to use magic, and made a three-pointer on the top of the arc to stop the Thunder. In the final six minutes, Alexander of the Thunder made a mistake in walking, and the Pacers then covered the foul. Jaylen Williams made a layup, Turner scored at the basket, Nemhard scored a mid-range shot, tied and dunked, and the Pacers scored a small climax, leading the Thunder 107-100. Alexander made a shot, and then the Pacers' Nesmith made a three-pointer, and the victory balance was completely tilted. The Pacers controlled the rhythm of the game. The Thunder missed the opportunity to chase points. Homegren was blocked by Turner. Although Nesmith did not make a shot next, Alexander also missed two points. Siakam made a layup, and the game lost suspense. In the end, the Pacers reversed the Thunder 116-107 at home, and fell again in the league, falling 1-2 behind the score.

The Thunder's Alexander scored 24 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks and 6 mistakes, and performed well, but Yali gave people the feeling that his performance was very stable, but lacked the killer mentality. In fact, Haliburton was defeated by key balls. Jaylen Williams has 26 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. He is also the best player in the team. His next salary is at least 40 million yuan, which is also an excellent puzzle for the forward line. Homegren scored 20 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, while Dortmund scored 12 points and 4 rebounds. The Thunder 3 scored 20 and still lost, and the main substitutes performed too poorly.

Halliburton of the Pacers has 22 points, 9 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. His three-pointer in the fourth quarter is too hard, and he is definitely a superstar performance and is greatly underestimated. Siakam scored 21 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, Turner scored 9 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 5 blocks, the substitute scored 8 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks, Matherin scored 27 points, 4 rebounds, and McConaughey scored 10 points, 5 rebounds and 5 steals. The Pacers' substitutes are too strong, and they are all powerful players, and they either block or steal on the defensive end, which makes the Thunder suffer.

Thunder are now behind the Pacers 1-2. This situation is unexpected. The situation in the finals has completely reversed. Now the fourth Pacers in the Eastern Conference have become a favorite to win the championship. If the Pacers finally reach the top, it may also be one of the greatest miracles in NBA history. Only 2 wins are gone, and the big dark horse can realize their dreams.
