In a previous NBA playoff Eastern Conference Finals G4, the Indiana Pacers, who played at home, defeated the New York Knicks 130-121. After this game, the Pacers widened the total score of the series to 3-1 and successfully won the match point; while the Knicks were in huge trouble, they were already stepping on the edge of the cliff with one foot.

In this game, the Pacers' starting wing player Aaron Nesmith also improved significantly. Nesmith played 32 minutes and 26 seconds in the game, made 5 of 9 shots, 2 of 6 from outside the three-point line, and 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 16 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals. He also had 3 turnovers and 3 fouls, and the plus and negative value reached the highest +20 in the game. Nesmith also regained his touch on the offensive end. Although he didn't take too many shots, he also showed his comprehensive scoring ability, and he also won a lot of points through various methods. Not only that, Nesmith's performance on the defensive end is also worthy of recognition, and he has also shown his talents on the defensive end. Nesmith also played his role well on the court, and his outstanding performance on both offense and defense also made a huge contribution to the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Nesmith played a total of 45 games due to injury, averaging 24.9 minutes per game, averaging 12 points, 4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. He shot 50.7%, three-point shooting percentage 43.1%, and 91.2% free throw shooting percentage. In the playoffs, Nesmith averaged 30.4 minutes in the first 14 games, with averaging 15.1 points, 6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.9 blocks, 0.9 turnovers and 4 fouls, shooting percentage of 52.5%, three-point shooting percentage of 51.9%, and free throw shooting percentage of 89.7%.

Nestmith's performance in the playoffs has been phenomenal, and his offensive efficiency can still be maintained at an extremely high level. He also has outstanding performances outside the three-point line. Not only that, Nesmith's role in the defensive end is obvious to all, and he is also a very excellent defender. The most important thing is that Nesmith has always been able to maintain his stability, and he has played a key role in most games. In previous G3, Nesmith's performance declined, and he also played the worst personal battle since the playoffs. But in this game, he quickly regained his form and made considerable contributions to the team's victory. It seems that as long as Nasmith maintains his level, the team's competitiveness will be amazing.
