Can you win 3 of 17 three-pointers be made? How does the Thunder do it? The Whistle is beneficial but it also finds the magic weapon to win

On June 14, in the finals G4, the Thunder defeated the Pacers 111-104 away game, tied 2-2 in a big score, regaining the home advantage. This game, the Thunder made 3 of 17 three-pointers, with 8 fewer three-pointers than their opponents and 24 less in three-pointers. How did the Thunder overcome this problem and win?

First of all, there is nothing to avoid, Thunder is the beneficiary of the penalty. When Foster was announced before the game, the Pacers were destined to be the disadvantage in terms of call. Including today's game, when Foster enforced the playoffs this season, the Pacers' record reached 0 wins and 5 losses, and the Thunder's record reached 4 wins and 0 losses. In the previous three Thunder games in Foster's law enforcement, the Thunder won 90 points.

The referees have a lot of controversy in this game. Although Foster did not make so much controversy by himself, the final result was that the Thunder had 38 free throws and the Pacers had 33 free throws. The Thunder's free throws were accurate than the previous game, regaining their normal performance, and finally hit 34 free throws, scoring 9 more points than the Pacers through free throws, but in the end they only won 7 points.

Second, the Thunder finally regained their two-point shooting percentage. The last time a team scored only 3 three-pointers in the finals but won it back 15 years ago. In the 2010 Finals G5, the Celtics made 3 of 12 three-pointers, but eventually defeated the Lakers. The Thunder fell behind 1-2 in the first three games, and their offensive efficiency did not meet expectations, not because of the three-pointer missed, but because of the two-pointer missed. For the Thunder, the two-pointer and output are the lifeline.

The Thunder's two-point shooting percentage in the first three games was only 47.4%, and this bad data will be at the bottom of the regular season. The league averages 54.5% from two-point shooting, and the worst-performing team in the league (Charlotte Hornets) also has 49.9%. The Thunder shot 55.9% from two-pointers in the regular season, ranking seventh in the league, while the Pacers had a two-pointer defensive shooting percentage of 55.4%, ranking 23rd, the worst of any postseason team. According to data expert Hollinger, considering that the Thunder's two-point shooting percentage was 10 percentage points lower than expected, after three games, this is equivalent to the Thunder's 28 points less than expected.

G4, the Thunder finally regained their normal two-point shooting percentage. They shot a 55.7% two-point shooting percentage, which is similar to the regular season, which translates into more mid-range goals and penalty area scoring, smoothing out the disadvantage of three-pointers.
