What starts badly doesn’t always end badly, or at least that’s the way it is Indiana Pacers demonstrated on this day. Despite going from a 17-point deficit midway through the final quarter, Rick Carlisle’s men made epic appeals to pull off a superb last-gasp win against Lakers. Andrew Nembhardt he was the hero and executioner at the same time, connecting on a triple to win and put it up Final 116-115 in favor of Indiana.

The Angels looked to have found the key to seal what would have been their sixth win in the last seven games, but their overconfidence got the best of them.
5 minutes to go in the match Russell Westbrook began to get the ball more and more, making 5 of the 9 attempts with which the Angelenos closed the game. The former MVP just joined 2 of these 5 pitchesalso losing two balls along the way.
However, despite Rush, the Lakers had the ball to secure overtime, having two free throws in the hands of Anthony Davis. The infield missed one of the two, now allowing Indiana to tie or win the duel, which it did.
This defeat is a pitcher of cold water for those Darwin Hamm, because it tarnishes a great moment for the team, which had regained its smile today. On the other hand, this has been his big litmus test as the last six wins have come against sub-50% opponents and the Pacers have provided a good measure.
nor the 21 points (36.4%), 7 rebounds and 3 assists from a LeBron James who broke his ankle in the first quarter or the 25 goals, 13 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks from Anthony Davis baton. In the end, the clutch problems were the same as at the beginning of the season.
And they say it becomes 38 in one month
