Ticket Seven: What should the two teams pay attention to changing?

The NBA has experienced another exciting tiebreak battle after 9 years, and has played a 6-game duel. There should be no secrets on the tactical level of the two teams! Only the team stars are left to play on the spot. So what should the two teams pay attention to in the seventh battle of a victory or defeat?

First of all, in terms of the Thunder, the strength on paper is higher than that of the Pacers, how did they step by step bring the team to the tiebreak? The Thunder have 65 assists and 67 turnovers in the last four games, with Gilgius Alexander and Jaylen Williams having a pass rate of 29%, down from 39% in the previous three rounds. They have more turnovers (13) than assists (10). This is almost like a point-giving for Pacers who are very good at fighting back. So the control mistake is the first thing the Thunder needs to control in the next game!

The role of the second role: The three Thunder role players—Alex Caruso, Aaron Wiggins and Carson Wallace—had a much better shot from the field (59.8% combined effective shots) than they had in three losses (39.0%). But these three didn't shoot a lot, and overall, the Thunder's effective shooting percentage difference in winnings (52.2%) and concedings (48.4%) is not much. Equally important are lower turnover rates (13.9 vs. 15.4 per 100 possessions), higher free throw rates (40.6 vs. 31.9 attempts per 100 shots), and higher offensive rebound rates (36.4% vs. 24.3%).

Pacers: Halliburton's number of shots has increased, and Harry's instability is the biggest problem in this round of the series.

Then for Alexander's defense, Andrew Nembhard, defended Girgius Alexander for 51:29 in six games. Familiar with Alexander, he is the best choice for Pacers to defend SGA! Then there is the performance of the substitute role.
