(4) Indiana Pacers lead (1) Oklahoma City Thunder 1-0
Game 1: Pacers 111, Thunder 110
For the first 47 minutes and 40 seconds of Game 1 of the NBA Finals, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander thoroughly outplayed Tyrese Haliburton in the battle of star point guards.
But as Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said after Indiana's remarkable comeback to beat the New York Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals, it is a 48-minute game.
