by Alfred Ignacio in basketballTyrese Haliburton hit a game-winning shot at the buzzer to give the Indiana Pacers a stunning 111-110 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. The Pacers overcame a 15-point deficit in the fourth quarter, fueled by two 12-2 runs, to snatch the win. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 38 points, but Haliburton's clutch shot silenced the Paycom Arena crowd. The Thunder dominated much of the game, forcing 24 Indiana turnovers, and led by as much as 15 points in the fourth quarter. Despite the Thunder's strong defense and Gilgeous-Alexander's MVP-caliber performance, the Pacers' resilience and Haliburton's heroics secured an improbable victory. The Pacers' comeback was punctuated by key contributions from players like Pascal Siakam and clutch three-pointers throughout the game. The series continues with Game 2 on Sunday.
