The Pacers last made the Finals in 2000 and are seeking their first NBA championship.

The Thunder had the NBA's best regular-season record and are in their first NBA Finals since 2012.

The Indiana Pacers head into Game 2 of the NBA Finals in a familiar spot: Having won Game 1 on the road.

The Pacers led for all of 0.3 seconds in the opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder at the Paycom Center, but those were the final 0.3 seconds after another Tyrese Haliburton's clutch basket . OKC used its familiar smothering defense to build a 15-point lead early in the fourth quarter before the Pacers began chipping away.

Earlier in these playoffs, the Pacers won road openers in Cleveland and New York (helped, of course, by a wild Haliburton basket ).
