Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton drives to the basket past Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort during the second quarter during game one of the 2025 NBA Finals at Paycom Center.

The 2025 NBA Finals continue as the Oklahoma City Thunder host the Indiana Pacers for Game 2. The Pacers currently lead the series 1-0.

For most of Game 1, the Thunder appeared to be in control, maintaining a lead for nearly the entire game. The Pacers seemed overwhelmed, turning the ball over 20 times in the first half and were trailing by 15 points in the fourth quarter.

However, the Pacers clawed back and with just 0.3 seconds on the clock, Tyrese Haliburton made the game-winning shot for a 111-110 victory.

Game 2 is set to take place at Oklahoma City's Paycom Center, with the Thunder in dire need of a win before the series moves to Indiana.

"The Thunder have a 4-6 record against the spread while going 7-3 overall in their last 10 contests. Oklahoma City and its opponents have combined to score an average of 220.6 points in its last 10 games, 6.9 less than the 227.5 over/under in this matchup."

CBS Sports: Thunder 123, Pacers 106

"In three games against Indiana this season, league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 38.7 points and 12.7 combined rebounds/assists. A 32-point, 6-rebound, 8-assist game seems well within reach even if he sits most of the fourth quarter on Sunday. Meanwhile, Tyrese Haliburton has been shadowed by tremendous defender Luguentz Dort and has only averaged 12 points per game in three contests vs. the Thunder this season. Anything other than a blowout win by Oklahoma City would be a surprise."
