Pacers Shock the Thunder, Halve Series Odds With 1-0 Finals Lead
The comeback kids are alive and well after Game 1 of the NBA Finals thanks to Tyrese Haliburton.
The Indiana Pacers, who would become the biggest underdogs to ever win the NBA Finals if they win three of the next six games, stunned the Oklahoma City Thunder as 9.5-point underdogs with yet another against-all-odds victory in the series opener. Haliburton sealed the deal with a pull-up jumper with 0.3 seconds remaining after the Pacers trailed by as many as 15 points in the fourth quarter of the road matchup.
It was the only time the Pacers led during the entire game.
