They were determined to end the series in this away game. The Pacers, who are fighting against the enemy, must win the game to continue the suspense until Game 7. At the beginning of the game, the Thunder were the first to get into the state, center Shea Gilgers-Alexander scored first, while Halliburton of the Pacers relied on free throws to win the first point. However, the Pacers' overall offensive rhythm was significantly lagging behind, while the Thunder continued to hit the basket, and Jaylen Williams completed a powerful and heavy dunk, forcing the Pacers to request a timeout.
