The Indiana Pacers haven't played in the NBA Finals since 2000, when Reggie Miller led the organization. Until this year, it was the only time that the franchise had ever been to the NBA Finals. Now the Pacers have Tyrese Haliburton leading them in this year's NBA Finals.

Even after his game-winner, Haliburton said they must play better. He quickly understood they stole Game 1. If you replayed the final three minutes, the Thunder likely would squeeze out a win in 99 out of 100 simulations. That doesn't make it sting any less for OKC, though. You don't win titles in hypotheticals.

Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers went to the Eastern Conference finals last year and got swept. He went to the Olympics last summer and didn’t play much.
