In a previous NBA playoff Eastern Conference Finals G4, the Indiana Pacers, who played at home, defeated the New York Knicks 130-121. After this game, the Pacers widened the total score of the series to 3-1 and successfully won the match point; while the Knicks were in huge trouble, they were already stepping on the edge of the cliff with one foot.

In this game, the Pacers' starting center Myles Turner also maintained a stable level. Turner played 33 minutes and 10 seconds in the game, made 5 of 8 shots, 1 of 3 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 3 free throws, and scored 13 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 blocks. He also had 4 turnovers and 6 fouls, with a plus-negative value of 0. Turner has maintained a stable feel on the offensive end, and he can also score a lot of points in various ways. On the offensive end, he can also rely on his own shooting ability to help the team open up space. In addition, Turner also showed quite good inside defense and basket protection ability on the defensive end. Overall, Turner is an all-round inside player with both offense and defense. In addition to not doing well in turnover control, his performance in other aspects is remarkable, and he has also made considerable contributions to the team's key victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Turner played 72 games in 82 games, averaging 30.2 minutes per game, averaging 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 2 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 2.5 fouls, shooting percentage of 48.1%, three-point shooting percentage of 39.6%, and free throw shooting percentage of 77.3%. In the playoffs, Turner averaged 31.7 minutes in the first 14 games, with averaging 16.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.4 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 2.9 fouls. He shot 51.7%, three-point shooting percentage 38.6%, and free throw shooting percentage 77.3%.

Turner's performance in the regular season was not bad, but it was definitely not outstanding. Therefore, everyone feels that his performance will decline further in the playoffs. Especially when he meets some teams with excellent inside players, he may encounter huge pressure. As a result, Turner has been able to maintain a high level in these rounds of the series and always maintain his abilities at a good level. It is not easy to do this. The Pacers were able to pass the game in the playoffs this season and have come to this point very smoothly, which is also closely related to Turner's performance. In this way, Turner is a truly underrated player. He is actually an inside player with excellent abilities?
