The big score is 2:3 behind, and now they are at a disadvantage in the game. It can be said that the Oklahoma City Thunder has really reached the point where there is no way out at this time, and they can only fight with their backs!
With referee Joe Crawford blowing his whistle for the game, Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook got a kick from teammate Thabo Sefolosha. After receiving the ball in his hand, he started to push forward, and the second half of the game officially started!
"Whether the Oklahoma City Thunder can save themselves depends on the second half of the game!" Kenny Smith in the commentary said seriously.

"Don't make it so serious!" Sir Charles Barkley beside him said with a smile, "Although the Oklahoma City Thunder is in a passive situation, it is not the end of the world. Moreover, I always think that as long as If the final whistle has not blown, then anything is possible!"

"There is still hope for the Oklahoma City Thunder!" "Shark" O'Neal said.

At this time, Kevin Durant has taken the ball from Russell Westbrook on the court and started one-on-one with Danny Granger.Facing Danny Granger's defense, Kevin Durant suddenly started, broke through with the ball, and rushed towards the Indiana Pacers' basket.At this time, center Roy Hibbert and power forward David West moved quickly to form a closed defense.It was difficult for Kevin Durant to continue to break through, so he had to make an emergency stop and make a fallback jumper. The ball bounced off the edge of the basket with a "clang".

"Kevin Durant missed his best shot?" Oklahoma City Thunder coach Scott Brooks frowned on the sidelines.

"Perhaps the first half of the game alone has consumed most of Kevin Durant's physical strength, which has affected his shooting touch." Xu Nuo thought in his heart, "You know, mid-range shots like that , Kevin Durant's shooting percentage has always been quite high."

At this time, Danny Granger had already jumped up and grabbed the backcourt rebound. Xu Xu did not rush to launch a fast break after getting the ball, but stabilized the rhythm of the game and strived for the success rate of the attack.If the team's offensive success rate can be better, maybe the team can win the game earlier and lock the NBA championship trophy!
After promising to dribble to the front court, he handed the ball to Danny Granger again. At this time, Danny Granger, who has fully recovered his form, started from outside the three-point line and broke through Kevin Durant with the ball defense.Although Danny Granger's breakthrough was not so sharp, it was enough to kill the inside of the Oklahoma City Thunder.And Oklahoma City Thunder center Kendrick Perkins wanted to help defend Danny Granger, but his size hindered his speed.When Kendrick Perkins came to help defend, Danny Granger had already reached the Oklahoma City Thunder's basket and was about to make a layup. In desperation, Kendrick Perkins had to Chose to foul early and send Danny Granger to the free throw line.

"It seems that Kendrick Perkins has three fouls." "Shark" O'Neill said.

"This is not good news for the Oklahoma City Thunder." Kenny Smith then said.

Danny Granger walked to the free throw line and made two free throws, extending the Indiana Pacers' lead.At the same time, with these two free throws, Danny Granger also surpassed his promise and became the Indiana Pacers' first scorer in this game.

"It seems that Xu Xu has not scored after scoring four consecutive three-pointers!" Sir Charles Barkley said sarcastically, "Is this the skill of 'Magic' Johnson?"

While speaking, Kevin Durant has begun to drive the ball to the Indiana Pacers basket for the second time in a row.This time Kevin Durant didn't wait for Roy Hibbert and David West's help defense to come up, and he stopped and shot a fadeaway jumper.Although the shooting distance this time was farther than last time, but this time the ball flew into the basket obediently, and the point difference between the two teams returned to two points.

"The game has entered into a tug-of-war!" Kenny Smith said.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, keep your pace, and slowly look for opportunities to attack!" Xu Nuo said loudly while dribbling the ball forward, "We must firmly believe that the final victory must belong to us!"

"That's right, we will definitely win!" Danny Granger also shouted loudly.

Although the Indiana Pacers' offense was unsuccessful this time, returning to the defensive end, the team also failed to allow the Oklahoma City Thunder to send the ball into its own basket.This time, Xu promised to launch a quick counterattack immediately after receiving the ball from Roy Hibbert. During the counterattack, DeMar DeRozan received the promised pass and hit a chasing three-pointer! At 46:39, the visiting Indiana Pacers lead the Oklahoma City Thunder by as much as seven points!On the Indiana Pacers bench, the players seemed to have begun to celebrate, as if they had won the NBA championship.

On the other side of the court, on the Oklahoma City Thunder's dugout, head coach Scott Brooks frowned, staring unblinkingly at the promises made on the court.

"Another promised assist!" Coach Scott Brooks thought angrily, "Where did that guy Russell go just now?"

We don't know where Russell Westbrook was just now. What we know is that Russell Westbrook has already dribbled to the frontcourt at this time.The core of the Oklahoma City Thunder's offense is still Kevin Durant, but this time Kevin Durant did not choose to score by himself, but distributed the ball to his teammate Sebastian after a breakthrough. Serge Ibaka.After receiving the ball, Serge Ibaka jumped high, dodged in the air to avoid Roy Hibbert's defense, and poured the ball into the basket with both hands!At the same time, the on-duty referee Joe Crawford blew the whistle in his mouth, and then pointed to Roy Hibbert, signaling Roy Hibbert to make a defensive foul.

"Three points!" Almost all the players on the Oklahoma City Thunder bench jumped up. For the Oklahoma City Thunder, which is already seven points behind their opponents, Serge Ibaka's This time the three-pointer came too timely!After the dunk, Serge Ibaka gave each of his teammates a high-five with a vicious look on his face.

"After the second half of the game, the offensive efficiency of both teams seemed to have improved." Kenny Smith said.

However, Serge Ibaka's extra free throw missed the basket, and Indiana Pacers power forward David West got the backcourt rebound.

"It seems that Oklahoma City's offensive efficiency is still not very good." Sir Charles Barkley said, shaking his head.

However, the Oklahoma City Thunder's return to defense was still quick, forcing promises to only let the game fall into a positional battle.At this time, center Roy Hibbert advanced from behind at high speed and promised to pass the ball immediately. After receiving the ball, Roy Hibbert made three strides and made two strides into the penalty area of ​​the Oklahoma City Thunder. To dunk.However, the joint defense of Kendrick Perkins and Serge Ibaka forced Roy Hibbert to choose to pass the ball, and DeMar DeRozan, standing outside the three-point line, received the ball. When he got the ball, he passed the ball again, and the ball came to Xu Nuo, who was also outside the three-point line!
"Another promise!" Kenny Smith yelled.

There was no hesitation in the promise of receiving the ball, and he shot directly from outside the three-point line!The ball jumped high over Russell Westbrook's head and went into the net again!
"No way!" Kenny Smith exclaimed in surprise, "In this game, Xu made five three-pointers and all hit the basket! The team's highest [-] points! And now the third quarter is only halfway through!"

On the sidelines, Coach Scott Brooks frowned. Seeing the team's eight-point disadvantage, Coach Scott Brooks had no choice but to get up and ask for a timeout.

"Now the momentum of the Indiana Pacers is up!" Kenny Smith said, "Although it is an away game, the Indiana Pacers are playing against the guest and taking the initiative in the game. It can be said that the NBA championship is far from the Indiana Pacers. The team is getting closer!"

In this timeout, coach Scott Brooks replaced the team's sixth man James Harden in an attempt to strengthen the team's offense.However, on the first play after the timeout ended, Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert once again grabbed the backcourt after James Harden missed a mid-range shot off a pass from Kevin Durant. With a rebound, the Indiana Pacers immediately launched a quick counterattack.Promised to assist in the fast break, Danny Granger once again made a long three-pointer from the outside. The Indiana Pacers have already led the Oklahoma City Thunder by 52 points 41:[-]!
"The Oklahoma City Thunder has gone!" Sir Charles Barkley said with a sigh and shaking his head.
