Rotowire
Holmgren finished Thursday's 108-91 loss to the Pacers in Game 6 of the NBA Finals with four points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and six rebounds in 24 minutes.
Holmgren failed to have any sort of tangible impact, delivering his worst game of the postseason. Despite some inconsistent numbers throughout the playoffs, Holmgren has been largely impressive on both ends of the floor. With the series now tied at 3-3, both teams will head to Oklahoma City for Game 7, with everything on the line.

Rotowire
Holmgren accumulated 20 points (6-15 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-107 loss to Indiana in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.
Although he had a strong counting stat line, Holmgren struggled with his shot and is having all kinds of problems going against Myles Turner -- Turner has swatted Holmgren's shots six times through three games. Holmgren had a tough go in clutch time Wednesday, and it will be interesting to see how the Thunder respond in Game 4 with a 2-1 deficit.
Holmgren ended Thursday's 111-110 loss to the Pacers in Game 1 of the NBA Finals with six points (2-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one block across 24 minutes.
Holmgren was barely noticeable Thursday, putting up easily his worst performance of the postseason. Prior to the Game 1 loss, Holmgren had scored double digits in nine straight games, while contributing above-average defensive numbers. Thursday's loss sees the Thunder now facing what could be considered a must-win game Sunday, when Holmgren and the Thunder will look to get back on track.

Oklahoma City will now face either the Pacers or the Knicks, both of which would go in as underdogs.
