Tyrese Haliburton’s Game-Winner Not Enough
Digest more
Deciding Swing: After entering the Finals with a +42 total Playoff point differential in the 4th quarter, OKC was outscored 35-25 in the final frame – dropping its first home Playoff game since Gordon’s shot dropped a month ago. And by looking back, the Thunder know the only way to go is forward.
Tyrese Haliburton did it again. The Indiana Pacers rallied from a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit Thursday night and stunned the Oklahoma City Thunder, 111-110, in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Haliburton capped the rally with yet another game-winning shot, this time with 0.3 seconds remaining on the clock.
Raise your hand if you saw this sort of star turn coming when Haliburton was traded to Indiana in 2022. Sacramento certainly didn’t.
