It’s hard to believe, but it happened.
In a stunning turn during the NBA Finals opener, Tyrese Halliburton hit a dramatic game-winning shot with just 0.3 seconds left on the clock. This remarkable moment gave the Indiana Pacers a surprising victory against the heavily favored Oklahoma City Thunder, putting them up 1-0 in the series.
“We’ve found various ways to win over the last couple of years,” Halliburton shared in his post-game interview with ESPN. “They’ve all been pretty strange and unique. I’m really proud of this team. We’re a resilient bunch.”
He continued, “We keep believing, and we’ll stick together. It’s not over until it’s really over.”
This unexpected twist disrupted what many thought would be an easy series for MVP candidate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder.
The Pacers are no strangers to this situation. Earlier in the Eastern Conference Finals, Halliburton made a clutch shot that sent the game against the Knicks into overtime—an effort that ultimately led to a six-point win for Indiana.
Game 2 will take place at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City on Sunday, June 8, while Game 3 is scheduled for Indiana on Wednesday, June 11.
