NBA Finals G6, the Pacers defeated the Thunder 108-91 at home, dragging the series into the tiebreak final! And the real protagonist of this game is not Halliburton or Siakam, but the substitute surprise - TJ McConaughey!

The 33-year-old undrafted player once again became the Pacers' savior. He played for 24 minutes in the game, scored 12 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals in a comprehensive data, with a plus-negative value of up to +22!

What's more terrifying is that in the six games of the Finals, McConaughey has contributed a total of 68 points, 27 assists and 19 rebounds, becoming the first player in NBA history to score 60+ points, 25+ assists and 15+ rebounds while playing in the finals substitute.

The second quarter of this game can be regarded as McConaughey's solo performance time. He first stole the Thunder core Alexander and Jaylen Williams on the defensive end, and then used accurate passes to connect the team's offense. Under his leadership, the Pacers won 15 points in a single quarter and established a huge advantage of 22 points in the first half.

McConaughey was born in 1992 and is 33 years old. He was the undraft in 2015. Who would have thought that he would hand in such excellent data in this year's finals.

This marginal player who once traveled to many teams such as 76ers and Suns is now writing his own legend. Data shows that McConaughey averaged 11.3 points, 4.5 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game in this finals, and his shooting percentage was as high as 51.2%.

What is even more commendable is that when he is on the court, the Pacers can beat their opponents by 8.3 points per 100 rounds, which is second only to Halliburton in the team.

The Thunder obviously lacked preparation for McConaughey's outbreak, and all the players performed poorly. The team made 21 mistakes, while the star Alexander made 8 mistakes by himself. In addition, the Thunder made only 8 of 30 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of 26.7%. After the game, Pacers coach Carlisle praised McConaughey: "He changed the game, he is our heart and soul." McConaughey responded in a low-key manner: "We just don't want to go home, see you at the tiebreak!" In the first finals in 9th, can Pacers replicate the miracle of the Cavaliers in 2016? Can McConaughey continue the legend? Next Monday, the final battle will be decided!
