It wasn't just him, Reggie Miller also came in hot.
The sum of the first two games of the Finals, he shot a total of 15 times and made only 4, but today alone in the first half, he managed 5 out of 8 shots.
In games where they are accurate beyond the three-point line, the Pacers have yet to lose in this year's playoffs.
This game was no exception, as they quickly built up a 15-point lead and maintained it until the end, finally winning 102 to 88, taking a major lead in the series score.
Tim Duncan once again showed what "Stone Buddha" means, scoring 25 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 blocks, but sadly, on a night when the whole team was off, his stats alone couldn't sustain the suspense.
Indeed, this also exemplifies a problem with Tim Duncan:
Too stable!
Whether winning or losing, the stats are nearly the same.
One might say he is the "comprehensive data version of Wiggins."
