Even after his game-winner, Haliburton said they must play better. He quickly understood they stole Game 1.

The Indiana Pacers have done it again. The underdog Pacers pulled off another stunning win, this time taking down the Oklahoma City Thunder, 111-110, in Game 1 of the 2025 NBA Finals on Thursday night.

Haliburton’s jumper with 0.3 seconds left gave Indiana its only lead of Game 1, but it was the one that mattered most in a 111-110 win.
