What an ending.

1. Ugh.

Thunder, you have to do better!

2. Wow!

I grew up in a small town outside of Indianapolis, so been rooting for the Pacers!

3. Pacers have done that a few times in these playoffs.

They are a remarkable team. Too many young, very good players for other teams to keep “Pace” with them late in a game. … Fun watching even as a life long Celtics fan.

6. They are fun to watch. I figured they were going to lose with

all the turnovers, but they never gave up.

7. They are. As are the Thunder. Two young teams

in the finals, both loaded with high energy talent. Its a great series. But yeah, I thought it was over too. What were they, down 15-16 points with a bit over 5 minutes left? Amazing.

8. More Than A Few

I read that Haliburton is 7 for 7 in shots to tie or take the lead in the last 15 seconds.
In these playoffs!
They've only won 13 games so far. So, he's come to the rescue over half the time.
IIRC, he did it twice to the Knicks in consecutive games.

4. I jokingly call this the MAGA Finals since

both teams are from red areas but in all honesty this game was very entertaining. As a long time Spurs fan, I have been on both sides of the fence when it comes to thrilling victories and losses. Losing the way the thunder did always stings and will haunt the Thunder and their fans for a very long time if they don't win this series.

On a sidenote Haliburton has been super clutch throughout these whole entire playoffs. He's not scared of the moment. I was shocked when Carlisle didn't call a time out and Haliburton was able to hit the game winner.
