With 0.3 seconds left, Tyrese Haliburton gave Indiana the lead in the game for the first time.
It was enough for the Pacers to get the 111-110 win over the Thunder in Game 1 of the NBA Finals after being down by 15 in the fourth quarter.
“Man, basketball’s fun,” Haliburton said. “Winning is fun.”
This is the fourth winning shot of Haliburton this season in the playoffs, proving beyond any doubt that he is clutch.
