The

NBA Finals continue, with the Pacers playing against the Thunder at home. Although the Thunder held the championship opportunity, the Pacers were full of momentum at home and led 28-25 in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Thunder fell into a scoring drought and was scored 36-17 by the Pacers, widening the gap in the score. In the second half, the Thunder did not regain the offensive feeling, while the Pacers continued to play steadily and finally defeated the Thunder 108-91. On the same day, McConnell set a record that has not been achieved in 79 years.

Alexander was in a sluggish state in the game, making only 7 goals in 15 shots, scoring 21 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, and making up 8 mistakes at the same time. Dort felt bad, and only made 1 three-pointer. Jaylen Williams also had difficulty in playing the magic, contributing 16 points and 3 rebounds. Harten scored 10 points and 4 rebounds, while Chet performed poorly on both ends of the offense and defense, scoring only 4 points and 6 rebounds. On the bench, Joe scored 11 points, while Jarin and Wiggins scored a total of 12 points, but the entire team was beaten by the Pacers and missed the championship. The Pacers performed well, maintaining the style of being a soldier. Nembhad contributed 17 points, 4 assists and 3 steals, while Halliburton returned from injury and contributed 14 points, 5 assists. Siakam has excellent offense and defense, contributing 16 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block. Nesmith scored 10 points and 3 assists. Although Turner was average in offense, he had excellent defense and locked his opponent Chet. Toping became the bench scoring champion and contributed 20 points in the game.

It is worth mentioning that veteran TJ McConnell, who performed well in the last game, still showed extraordinary strength in this game. He played for 24 minutes on the bench, made 12 of 6 shots, and was influential when he came on the court, scoring 12 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals. More importantly, McConnell set a new NBA Finals record and became the only player to play in the finals substitute, while scoring 60+ points, 25+ assists, and 15+ rebounds. As a substitute, he made 14 steals in the Finals, also setting a new NBA record.

Regardless of the result, McConnell's performance this year has become one of the most outstanding substitutes in the history of the Finals. Not only did he perform well in scoring, he had excellent defense, but he also had excellent steals and assists, which was a perfect championship component. Being able to break NBA history frequently shows McConnell's greatness.
