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.

The new king of the playoff winner, Haliburton’s jumper with 0.3 seconds remaining sealed an improbable comeback.

It was a quiet night for Tyrese Haliburton, but the Indiana Pacers star showed up when it mattered most. After scoring just 12 points heading into the final seconds of Thursday's Game 1 matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Haliburton delivered the game-winner to give the Pacers a 111-110 win following a second-half comeback.
