The Oklahoma City Thunder held a commanding edge over the Indiana Pacers for most of Game 1 of the NBA Finals, and didn't surrender a single lead to their opponent until Tyrese Haliburton hit the go-ahead shot with 0.3 seconds remaining on the clock in the fourth quarter.
Oklahoma City lost just its second contest at home during these playoffs -- now 8-2 in the Paycom Center this postseason -- by a score of 111-110, as Indiana's run of crazy comebacks and bewildering buzzer-beaters continued on Thursday night, June 5.
The Thunder host the Pacers for Game 2 on Sunday night in what now feels like a must-win contest for the No. 1 overall seed, not just in the Western Conference but in the entire league following a 68-14 regular season record and a 12-5 mark in the playoffs to this point.
