Command Analysis
Indiana Pacers

Rick Carlisle's guys are making history. The team was considered a solid middleweight, but now it is in the finals and closer to the championship rings than the opponent. The Pacers managed to get past Milwaukee, Cleveland and New York, opponents who showed good basketball during the season, while the Cavaliers finished the Eastern Conference in first place.
Indiana scored an important victory at the beginning of the finals series, although it was not without luck (111:110). Then the Thunder came to their senses and equalized, but still the Pacers returned to the home arena in a winning situation. Tyrese Haliburton and the company were not ready to put up with the status of an outsider and were pleasantly surprised. The team improved at the end of the match and took the lead (116:107). There is another meeting ahead, which will take place at home.

Oklahoma City Thunder

The thunderbolts are in their place, because the team did not hide its championship ambitions and confidently went to the goal. After Mark Deino's team took first place in the Western Conference, the road to the finals began. The Thunder dealt with Memphis, Denver and Minnesota.
Oklahoma was waiting for an opponent in the final stage of the playoffs, where they met with Indiana. It seemed that Shay Gilges-Alexander and company would quickly put the Pacers in their place, but the series began with an insulting defeat (110:111). The second match was dictated by the Thunder, and the score was even (123:107). The team was preparing for the away game in Indianapolis, which ended unsuccessfully (107-116). We can say that the rivals went toe to toe, but in the last quarter the guests scattered. Now the main thing is not to let the opponent repeat the result.
