Pacers Stun Thunder with Last-Second Win in NBA Finals Game 1

The Indiana Pacers defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 111-110 in a thrilling Game 1 of the NBA Finals, with Tyrese Haliburton scoring a game-winning jumper with 0.3 seconds remaining. Despite trailing by 15 points in the fourth quarter, the Pacers mounted a remarkable comeback, fueled by a strategic timeout and key three-pointers from Obi Toppin and Aaron Nesmith. Haliburton, who has repeatedly delivered clutch shots in the playoffs, finished with 14 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 assists, cementing his reputation as the league's clutch performer. The Thunder, led by NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 38 points, appeared poised to win but couldn't close out the game. This victory marks Indiana's fifth comeback from 15 or more points down this postseason, setting an NBA record. The series continues with Game 2 scheduled in Oklahoma City on Sunday night.
