Due to injuries, there were no sports scores in the whole game and the organizational assists were no longer effective. Halliburton lost his magic, but he dragged his pain and fought for 34 minutes. He had no credit and worked hard!

Siakam started for 33 minutes and made 9 of 15 shots, including 3 of 6 three-pointers and 7 of 8 free throws. He scored 28 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, 6 turnovers, 3 fouls, plus-minus value-5. The Pacers' only normal starting player performs, and they are both good offense and defense, but they are weak and have no choice but to make a single hand. In addition, they have many personal mistakes and many fouls, and they are difficult to turn the tide in the end.

Nesmith, starting for 24 minutes, made 5 of 9 shots, including 4 of 5 three-pointers, scored 14 points, 6 rebounds, 1 steal, 2 turnovers, 5 fouls, plus-minus value-12. It seems that the hit rate is good, but the defense is too bad.

The defense is good, but the shooting percentage is too low, which affects the team's operation.

McConnell, played 21 minutes and made 8 of 14 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers and 1 of 1 free throw, scored 18 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, 3 turnovers, 3 fouls, plus-minus value +4. Substitute the surprise, but with little success.

Bradley, played for 12 minutes, made 1 of 2 shots, scored 2 of 2 free throws, scored 4 points and 4 rebounds, 1 turnover, 3 fouls, plus-minus value +2. Due to personal abilities, performance can only be said to be in a proper way.

In this game, the Pacers lost due to the sluggish performance of the starting players, especially the sluggish performance of Nembhard and Halliburton, which made the team lose the opportunity to win the Tianwang Mountain game. Of course, the Thunder is more powerful, with better offense and defense. Alexander and Jaylen Williams play extremely dazzlingly, and the substitutes also perform well. The Thunder performs stably, which is also one of the reasons why the Thunder wins the game.

Thunder won the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, getting closer and closer to the championship, and the Pacers are getting further and further away from the championship!
