The Pacers were beaten by the Thunder in the whole game, not only the lead was 15 points, but the probability of winning was as high as 96.4%, but they still reversed at home. The Pacers were still 9 points behind in the last 2 minutes and 52 seconds of the game.

5 Factor Director's Big Reversal

So why did the Pacers once again complete a big reversal and win the victory when they were 15 points behind away and were in desperate situation at the decisive moment? Five major reasons to give the answer.

Reason 1: Harry's "magic"

Halliburton once again staged magic. With the team trailing 47 points and 59 points in the whole game, Harry hit the final score and led the team to win.

Such performance is not accidental, and a microcosm of Harry's usual big heart performance.

This game is Harry's fifth final hit or tie this season in the playoffs. With this performance, Halliburton overtook Ray Allen to be the first in history.

At the same time, this is also a draw or a final hit in Halliburton's four consecutive series in the playoffs.

According to reporter Keerthika Uthayakumar, when the last 90 seconds of the playoffs this season (fourth quarter + overtime), Halliburton's equalizer and overtake shot totaled 6 of 7 shots, with a terrifying shooting percentage of 85.7%.

Reason 2: The resilience of the whole team

When the whole game was suppressed by the Thunder, the reason why Harry was able to complete the final blow was due to the persistence and resilience of his teammates around him.

This game is also a microcosm of the Pacers' performance so far in the playoffs. The 15-point reversal of the Thunder is the fifth time the Pacers have completed a 15-point or above reversal this season, the most since 1997.

And the Pacers faced a total of 8 times behind 15+ times, won 5 times, with a winning rate of more than 50%.

As Halliburton said after the game: "In the past few seasons, we have won the victory in too many strange ways. We just know that we are a resilient team and are really proud of my teammates."

Reason 3: Carlisle's trust

Haliburton can complete a magical blow, and coach Carlisle is the biggest contributor behind it. In the last moment, he did not call a timeout, but chose to trust Halliburton and let him handle it himself.

After the game, Halliburton also publicly thanked Carlisle: "The coach trusts us, it's not called a timeout. Both the teammates and the coach trust me. I just want to win the game. This feeling is so good!"

For this civilian Pacers, Carlisle's trust in the creation of the system and the long rotation are the core reasons why they perform miracles again and again.

Reason 4: Even if the ultimate team basketball hits the finale, Halliburton actually only scored 14 points, and the output is not enough to win.

But he was surrounded by Sika at 19+10, Turner at 15+9, Nembhard at 14+6, Nesmith at 10+12, and Topin who scored 5 three-pointers and scored 17 points and saved himself.

plus 9 points McConnell, the Pacers scored at least 3 points in rotation, 9 players scored at least 5 points, and 6 players played in double digits, bringing team basketball to the extreme.

Reason 5: Thunder's arrogance

In the finals, the Thunder G1 adopted 11-man rotations. Since returning to the playoffs, the Thunder has actually been using 9-man rotations, and the number of rotations will be expanded unless it is a one-sided game.

It is obvious that after establishing a double-digit lead early, the Thunder coach was a little arrogant and underestimated.

At the same time, he put five small lineups in the decisive moment, actively giving up his inside advantage, resulting in the Pacers' second offense operations through frontcourt rebounds many times, which made people confused. It was like the G1 leading the Nuggets without spending time choosing the penalty tactic and finally being defeated.
