2:10am, 8 June 2025【Basketball】

led the team to reverse and scored a final goal, Halliburton left only 0.3 seconds for the Thunder. It has to be said that the first game of the finals was so thrilling and heart-wrenching! In this game, the Thunder completely led one night. In the last 10 seconds of the fourth quarter, Alexander missed the Pacers and got the rebound and launched the last attack from the backcourt. In the end, Halliburton made a mid-range shot from the right side of the free throw line and overturned the situation. The scores of the two teams were frozen at the Pacers 111-Thunder 110!

Such an ending not only made the Thunder players incredible, but also made the Thunder fans present stunned. It was as hard to believe as an illusion, because it was really a failure and inexplicably lost the victory that was already obtained. No one could accept this gap, and the Pacers' players all had happy expressions on their faces.

I still remember that before the Finals started, both ESPN, NBA experts, media and fans agreed that the Pacers could not defeat this comprehensive Thunder at all. It turns out that they underestimated the tenacious Pacers after all!

Pacers beat the Bucks, Cavaliers and Knicks all the way in this year's playoffs and stood out from the East. They must not be underestimated. They have turned defeat into victory again and again in passive situations. They are very good at playing against the wind, especially offensive master Carlisle, who is in charge. There is no gap between them against the Thunder. In addition, according to statistics, Halliburton has contributed 4 finals in this year's four-round playoff series.
