Tyrese Haliburton and the resilient Indiana Pacers pulled off yet another dramatic comeback, erasing a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit and taking their only lead on Haliburton’s jumper with 0.3 seconds left to stun the Thunder 111-110 in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
Despite 25 turnovers and a 38-point night from MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Indiana delivered the largest fourth-quarter Finals comeback since 2011 their latest in a string of improbable playoff finishes.
Head coach Rick Carlisle, who led Dallas to a similar Finals rally 13 years ago, emptied his bench early in the fourth, sparking a 15-4 run that turned the game. Haliburton, now 4-for-4 on clutch game-winners this postseason, once again delivered in the final seconds as Indiana handed OKC just its second home loss when leading by 15 or more.
