The Pacers beat the Thunder (in a thrilling Game 1) by a score of 111-110.
Tyrese Haliburton made the game-winning shot (despite scoring just 14 points).
Via The NBA: "Down 9+ points in the last 3 minutes of a game in the Finals?
Since 1971, teams were 0-182 in that situation prior to Game 1. Then Haliburton and the Pacers happened.
