Tyrese Haliburton dresses up as Michael Jordan again: Pacers 1 OKC 0

The 2025 NBA Playoffs of Indiana Pacers are turning into a real madness of comebacks. They did it against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the semis, against the New York Knicks in the Eastern Finals, and they have done it again in Game 1 of the NBA Finals against Oklahoma City Thunder. Always away. Always coming back from more than a dozen points in the last quarter. And always with Tyrese Haliburton as the final hero.

Yesterday, OKC seemed to control the match, as many other teams have done during the playoffs against a Rick Carlisle's team that never gives up. Advantages of more than 10 points for most of the match and the final quarter.  With 9 minutes left, the Thunder were leading by 15 points. 

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the NBA MVP, was on fire, but in the final stretch of the game, a 16-32 run gave the win to the yellows. The score was 110-107 in the last minute. Pascal Siakam then stepped up to grab a crucial rebound to bring his team within one. Jalen Williams and the Cameroonian missed before the final outcome: Shai's miss with 11 seconds left and Haliburton's basket to complete another comeback, theoretically impossible, but less surprising considering it is the sixth one achieved in these playoffs. It doesn't matter that they lost 18 more turnovers than their rival. It doesn't matter. They are the kings of the Clutch right now, and there is no one to stop them. 

They have an extraordinary defense that suffocated Oklahoma in the end. They also finished with 46% on threes and 47% on field goals, with 17 more rebounds than their opponent. Siakam led the scoring with 19 points, Myles Turner added 15, Nembhard and the hero Haliburgon each scored 14. Obi Toppin was key with 17 points and 5 threes off the bench. In OKC, Shai's 38 points were in vain. Jalen Williams went for 17, and Lu Dort for 15. Chet Holmgren stayed at 6. We have Finals. And what Finals.
