PREVIEW
The Pacers and Thunder meet for Game 2 of the NBA Finals at Paycom Center on Sunday night, with Indiana looking to extend their 1-0 series lead.
The Pacers pulled off a stunning comeback in Game 1, rallying from 15 points down in the fourth quarter to secure a 111-110 win—capped by Tyrese Haliburton’s clutch game-winner.
Haliburton’s shot tied him with Reggie Miller for the second-most go-ahead or game-tying field goals in the final five seconds of the fourth quarter or overtime in playoff history since 1997.
The Pacers’ edge came from beyond the arc, hitting 18-39 (46.2%) three-pointers versus the Thunder’s 11-30 (36.7%). Rebounding was another key area of separation, with Indiana grabbing 56 boards to OKC’s 39. Pascal Siakam posted a 19-point, 10-rebound double-double.
Indiana has now won eight straight games when he hits that mark.
