The Pacers are really out of the game, and Coach Carlisle also saw that there was no hope of turning around, so he replaced the main players in advance to rest. With about four minutes left in the game, the Pacers had already given up their resistance and were chasing points in the entire fourth quarter, but the score difference was basically unchanged, and the players on the field had no fighting spirit, so they had to admit defeat in the end.

Halliburton, sitting on the bench, looked unwilling. His performance today was indeed unsatisfactory. Although he scored 17 points in the game, 12 points were scored in the final quarter, and he only scored 5 points in the first three quarters. This final quarter effort seems a bit inadequate for the whole game.

Look at the opponent's Thunder, scoring points are everywhere, not only five people scored in double digits, but the lowest one was more than 15 points. In particular, Caruso and Wiggins each scored 20 points and 18 points, which was almost full of fire. Alexander was even more amazing. He scored 34 points by himself, with an amazing efficiency. In contrast, although the Pacers' score distribution is relatively wide, with seven people scoring ten, no one can stand up and get 20+. Such attack power is not enough to face the Thunder, and it feels like he is being beaten by his own routine.
