Tonight, we witness something that has only occurred 19 times in the history of the NBA: a Game 7 in the NBA Finals. Rarer than a Phoenix Suns postseason appearance (30 times), more nerve-wracking than a missed free throw in crunch time. History leans heavily toward the home team, with a 15–4 record in those previous matchups. But the Indiana Pacers are hoping to author their own twist ending, one that rewrites the odds against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
