NBA Finals Game 7: Pacers' 8 Players Score in Double Digits, Siaclam Leads with 19.8 PPG at Thunder's Home

The Data Doesn’t Lie

Eight Indiana Pacers players recorded double-digit scoring in Game 7—no single star carrying the load, no viral highlight. Just cold, replicable patterns: Siaclam (19.8 PPG), Haliburton (14.8), Topping (12.8), Turner (11.3), McConnel (11.3), Nembhard (11.2), Nisthmis (10.5), Maserlin (10.5). This isn’t luck—it’s a multivariate distribution where each player operates within an expected value envelope defined by play type and defensive spacing.

The Thunder Quartet Compared

Oklahoma City countered with four scorers above ten: Alexander (30.5 PPG—outlier by design), Jayvee (24.2), Holmglun (11.3), Karuso (10.2). Alexander’s volume is statistically anomalous—a high-variance outlier that distorts team efficiency metrics when isolated from context.

Why Balance Beats Star Power

The Pacers’ strategy wasn’t built on charisma—it was engineered through pass network density and shot chart entropy reduction (). Their xG model reveals that every possession is calibrated to minimize noise—not maximize hype.

The Ghost in the Machine

I don’t cheer for heroes—I track patterns beneath the surface. When eight players cross ten points, it’s not a miracle—it’s algorithmic harmony. The Thunder had one star; Indiana had a system. Precision doesn’t need applause—only accuracy.
