The Pacers (1-0) have kicked the door wide open in the 2025 NBA Finals against the Thunder (0-1) and now sit in the driver's seat with a golden chance to build serious momentum before the series heads to Indy.

The 2025 NBA Finals got off to a rousing start with the Indiana Pacers' miraculous 111-110 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 on Thursday night. Tyrese Haliburton made a game-winning pull-up jumper with 0.3 seconds to complete a 15-point fourth-quarter comeback and steal home-court advantage from OKC.

The championship series is only one game old, but the Oklahoma City Thunder are already at their first hurdle. Tyrese Haliburton's Game 1 game-winner put the title favorite in a 0-1 series hole. Goes without saying, but the Thunder must win Game 2 or risk being on the cusp of an all-time upset.
