Admittedly, the Pacers return to Indiana with the advantage of the field, after the miracle of Game 1, but the Thunder has generally dominated the first two games of the series. Indiana only led for 0.3 seconds in the first match, then for 115 seconds during the second meeting of these 2025 finals…
Oklahoma City has run in mind for 98% of the time on the first two games. Tyrese Haliburton and his teammates will have to find solutions, and also win the 3-point battle.
The good news for Rick Carlisle's troupe is that they will now find their room and their fans … But also that the Thunder has much more difficulty finding the sights far from its bases since the start of the playoffs. Apart from Jalen Williams And Cason Wallaceall (important) players of the rotation are shooting less well outside. And none exceeds 36.7% 3-point far from the Paycc Center!
Despite everything, Oklahoma City still won four of the seven games played far from its bases in this postseason, except that the shooters of the Pacers are extremely crazy in these playoffs.
Myles Turner And Pascal Siakam are also particularly precise at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse, with more than 50% success by far for the two men, whileAaron Nesmith And Andrew Nembhard are for their part around 45%. Unlike the regular season, Tyrese Haliburton is strangely more skillful in matches outside. It remains to be seen whether these trends will be confirmed in the next games.
