Thunder King Mountain is soaring! Javi scored 40 points Halliburton scored 0 tragedy! Do you dare to believe this script?

8:49pm, 18 June 2025【Basketball】

On June 17, the Thunder beat the Pacers 120-109 and won the match point 3-2, one game away from the first championship in the team history! Jaylen Williams scored 40 points, and Halliburton scored 0 of 6 shots and scored 4 points with only free throws.

Jie Wei's Night of God's Reign, the Second Thunder Man becomes a true core!

Before the game, everyone stared at Alexander, but Jaylen Williams stole the show! 14 of 25 shots and scored 40 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. The 7-point solo show in the fourth quarter directly killed the game! This young man is not usually seen, but today he directly transforms into "Russian Durant". He has no solution in the middle distance, and his breakthrough is like a knife, with a three-pointer cold arrow swishing! You know, this is the finals. The last one who scored 40+ in the Thunder Finals was Westbrook in 2012.

Halliburton's disaster-level performance, Pacers' offense was paralyzed

Halliburton was really weird today! He made 0 of 6 shots, scored 4 points on free throws, becoming the first member of the best team to score 0 sports goals in the Finals in NBA history... The calf injury affected obvious, there was no speed in breakthroughs, and the pass was predicted. The Thunder's infinite defense swap directly locked him. Without Halliburton's tandem, the Pacers made 22 mistakes in the game, twice as many as the Thunder. Is this a hammer?

Thunder's defense won, and the Pacers were completely defeated

Thunder's defensive strategy was amazing today! Unlimited defense replacement forced the Pacers to play singles, and the team made a total of 15 steals, directly chopping the Pacers' passing route. Although Homegren's offense was average, the frame protection was scary. He blocked 3 shots in the whole game + multiple interferences, and Turner was unable to support him. The Thunder blocked as many as 12 times in the game, giving the Pacers a grand hotpot feast.

Historical laws are good for Thunder, but Pacers still have a chance?

The team that won Tianwangshan has a 74.2% chance of winning the finals! If the Thunder wins the next away game, they will win the cup directly; if they delay the G7, they can still go back to the home game to play. But don't underestimate the Pacers - they won 10 consecutive games after losing this season, with a net win of 14.7 points per game, and the rebound ability is the first in the league! If Halliburton can recover from health, Siakam + McConnell can still prolong his life, and it is not impossible to tie the seventh game.

In this G5, the Thunder won in the star explosion + defensive resilience, while the Pacers lost in the core + too many mistakes. But the series is not over yet, and the Pacers will have to fight to the death when they return to their home court. If Halliburton regains form in G6, this drama can continue to be sung! Daniel, do you think the Thunder can win the championship in one go, or the Pacers fight back?
