Love love love that Indiana won.  My comment on Oklahoma City being the better team wasn't about this game, just a comment in totality.  But you don't have to be the better team to win a series.

OKC is outstanding, still should be the favored team — but, Pacers had the tougher road to the Finals, and man do they know to to craft a comeback— and Haliburton? Just wow. What an incredible clutch shooter he’s been this whole playoffs, has hit every one of those comeback/last second shots. 

I didn’t think for a minute they were making this comeback down 15 in the 4th. What a win

Sometimes it’s about mental toughness. We have a coach and a key player that have been there before 

Didn’t catch the specifics but a broadcaster for cbs sports said something like the last time a team in the finals (maybe it was the playoffs) came back from 15 down in the 4th was 2011 - coached by Carlyle — it was 2011 when the Mavs beat the Heat

I seem to recall the Mavs having a fantastic comeback against the heat

What-the-Haliburton? I mean, after Reggie and Victor.....Tyrese is up there with my favorite Pacers players! Sad day in Indiana with the closing of Gray Brothers Cafeteria in my hometown of Mooresville but I'll trade that for this win 10 out of 10 times! Yes'cers in 6. Win it at home.

Holy sh Carlyle and the P’s know how to make a comeback- wow

These guys are a rollercoaster of team. Fun when they win!

I propose that a 15 point comeback capped with a game winning shot officially be called a Haliburton

I propose that the Thunder take a page out of the Knicks' playbook, and fire their coach.

Pretty sure if Thibs had preemptively broken up his 2 big starting lineup, played them something like 40 mins total combined and gotten out-rebounded by a million by a pretty bad rebounding team they’d have locked him out of his office last night.

It was pretty wild that the Thunder came out with a different starting lineup after being the clear best team in the League all season with that lineup Like, why? Still, Thunder seemed to have the game well in hand, and then the P's come roaring back again. Have to think we'll see the usual big lineup again from the Thunder, for the rebounding...

WAIT just saw that the always Brilliant Knicks just fired Thibodeau!! 

LOL at the Knicks, what a joke of a franchise 

... do wonder though, if they have a line on getting Malone, it would be a good move

The Knicks were just clearing the way for The Mediocre One to make his way back to the Big Apple...he'll drop the Kings in a heartbeat!

Because they started 47 games with that lineup. Confident.

it was a dumb move, it wasn't their primary lineup and it cost them on boards and let the P's get out and run. I'd bet they return to their usual lineup for G2.
