Alexander scored 14 points and scored a record-breaking match with Wade and Horry

On June 14, the NBA Finals staged a suffocational battle. With Alexander's unsolvable performance at the last minute of the game, the Thunder defeated the Pacers 111 to 104 at home, tied the series to 2-2, and the championship was reborn!

Thunder core Alexander played for 40 minutes in this game, and he tried his best on both offense and defense. He made 12 of 24 shots in the game, 1 of 4 from outside the three-point line, and even more amazing is that he made perfect shots on the free throw line 10 times, scoring 35 points efficiently, and contributing 3 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block all-around data. However, what really determines the direction of the game is his true identity as a superstar who took over the game at the last moment. At the final quarter, when the game entered the suffocation stage with the last 5 minutes and the score difference between the two sides was within 5 points, Alexander completely started the killing mode. He scored 14 points alone, almost carrying the team on the edge of the cliff with his own strength. According to the authoritative statistics of senior journalist Josh Dubow, since the NBA had detailed records of critical moments in 1997, there are only two legends who can score 14 points or more in the last 5 minutes of the finals (within 5 points difference):

2006 Finals G5, Heat vs. Mavericks, Wade scored 15 points at critical moments;

2005 Finals G5, Spurs vs. Pistons, veteran Robert Horry also contributed 15 points.

Alexander's 14 points in this game made him beat Wade and Horry in one fell swoop, becoming the third strongest player in the finals in the past three decades, engraving his name on the highest stage of modern basketball.

In addition to Alexander's dominant performance, the Thunder's victory is also inseparable from the tenacity of the team. Dort continued to bite his opponent's core on the defensive end and also hit a key three-pointer on the offensive end; Wiggins on the bench became the surprise, effectively contributing 14 points. The whole team withstood the Pacers' counterattack in the last quarter and forced themselves to take down this crucial victory. The finals were temporarily closed, and the two sides ushered in a short adjustment with a 2-2 big score. Two days later, the highly anticipated battle of Tianwang Mountain will be launched on June 16th. Is Alexander continuing his magic and leading the Thunder to take advantage of the victory to win the match point? Or do the Pacers regain their advantage with the help of home court? Suspense has been pushed to its peak. The endurance of a younger lineup will become an invisible weight that determines the title.
