40 points surprise! The Thunder won the match point 3-2, only one win away to win the championship!

Basketball

The Thunder's home court was completely boiling! In the just-concluded finals, they defeated the Pacers 120-109 and rewritten the total score to 3-2! what does that mean? It means that the Thunder has touched the championship trophy with one hand, and it is only the last victory to reach the top! The Pacers were quite fierce at the start of the game, scoring 12 points in 3 minutes, and their hands felt hot. But who would have thought that this good condition would last for so long. In the next 9 minutes, they seemed to have suddenly "powered off". Not only did they make 6 crazy mistakes, but they made only 3 of 14 shots, scoring only a pitiful 10 points. The Thunder are not polite. Homgren, Alexander, and especially Jaylen Williams (Jerway) made a collective effort, and the wave of flow directly overtook and opened to 10 points. Although the Thunder themselves had some ups and downs, they could not resist Aaron Wiggins and Carson Wallace's three-pointers to stop the bleeding. At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder took the lead steadily 32-22. In the second quarter, the Pacers came up and then gave the big mistake gift pack. Wiggins made two more three-pointers! Jiewei was even more crazy, with a blank cut dunk, a counterattack and a tough three-pointer, and scored 16 points in the first half. The Thunder once led by 18 points, with a huge advantage at the end of the half 59-45. The Pacers hit a shooting percentage of only 33% in the first half, and made 10 mistakes. The only highlight was that they grabbed 12 frontcourt rebounds. Their core Halliburton was in a very poor state, and he didn't score 0 of 5 shots in the first half. He also returned to the locker room due to calf discomfort, and Siakam also made frequent mistakes.

The Pacers wanted to chase points in the second half, and Nesmith and Turner's three-pointers once made the score 62-71. But whenever the walkers were about to take shape, Jiewei stood up! A tough "2 1" scored a key three-pointer to stabilize the situation immediately. Halliburton finally opened with free throws, Toppin also made a three-pointer, and the Pacers once narrowed the gap to only 5 points. It was McConnell who broke out and scored 12 points in a row, pulling the Pacers back a little from the edge of the cliff. But the Thunder withstood the impact and still led by 8 points after the third quarter (87-79). In the fourth quarter, Siakam threw a three-pointer and tried to counterattack. However, Alexander immediately broke through and responded with a layup, Wiggins made another three-pointer, and the Thunder instantly pulled the gap back to 10 points!

The most tense moment is here! Siakam scored 9 points in a row, scoring 9 points in a row, chasing the score to 93-95, only 2 points away! Seeing that the Pacers were about to turn the tables, the Thunder's "key gentleman" Jiewei stepped forward again - a priceless three-pointer! Then Wallace stole Nemhard and made a quick attack dunk! Thunder scored 5 points in a row, instantly stabilizing the morale of the army. It's not over yet. Dortmund added another three-pointer, and Alexander turned into a "death entanglement", stealing Nemhard and Halliburton in succession. The Thunder's two counterattacks completely destroyed the Pacers' morale. In the last 6 minutes, the Thunder had already led by 13 points (110-97). The Pacers' mentality completely collapsed, and Nemhard and Halliburton made consecutive mistakes, and the gap once widened to 16 points. Although Siakam and Topin tried hard to catch up with some points, Jewe secured his 40th point with a signature mid-range shot, which also made the final decision for the game! In the end, Thunder won the Tianwang Mountain 120-109!

Star Shining:

Jewe (Jerlen Williams) completely beats crazy! He made 14 of 25 shots, scoring a career-high 40 points, plus 6 rebounds and 4 assists, almost extinguishing the Pacers' counterattack flames again and again at critical moments with his own strength. He is the number one hero for the Thunder to win the match point!

Alexander made steady output, contributing 31 points and 10 assists, and had a comprehensive defensive performance of 2 steals and 4 blocks.

Wiggins (14 points) and Wallace (11 points and 4 steals) provide important outside fire support and defensive strength.

On the Pacers, Siakam (28 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists) tried his best but couldn't stand it alone, and McConnell (18 points) was the substitute surprise. The most fatal thing is that the team made up to 22 mistakes! The core Halliburton was in a sluggish state, making 0 of 6 shots in the game and scoring 4 points with only free throws, and three mistakes, becoming the team's biggest weakness.

Thunder are only one last victory away from another championship in team history! In the next game, can they end the suspense at their doorstep? Let's wait and see!
