In a thrilling start to the NBA Finals 2025, the Indiana Pacers shocked the Oklahoma City Thunder 111-110 in Game 1.
This thanks to a decisive basket by Tyrese Haliburton with just 0.3 seconds left on the clock.
A historic comeback
The Pacers faced a 15-point deficit against the Thunder with less than 10 minutes to play in the fourth quarter.
However, led by Haliburton, who finished with 14 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, and with key contributions from Pascal Siakam (19 points, 10 rebounds) and Obi Toppin (17 points), Indiana pulled off one of the most memorable comebacks in Finals history.
Haliburton’s basket not only sealed the victory, but also represented the Pacers’ first and only lead of the entire game.
This shot is the latest to take the lead in a Finals game in the last 50 years.
Thunder lets victory slip away
Despite an outstanding performance by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who scored 38 points in his Finals debut, the Thunder were unable to maintain their lead in the final minutes against the Pacers.
