Pacers begin 3/4 from distance, together with b2b triples from Haliburton. That’s an important signal.
Nevertheless, Nesmith picks up his second foul with 7:21 left within the 1st, so he’s changed by Mathurin. – 8:15 PM

Pacers 111, Thunder 107.
Thunder lead by six at halftime. Sport activates a scorching T.J. McConnell stretch finish of third quarter/early fourth. Haliburton seals the sport on the line. Siakam wins MVP with a 24-11-4 night time.
Excited to seek out out all the methods I’ll be fallacious. – 6:53 PM

Andrew Nembhard guarded Shai full courtroom, and it tilted Sport 1 to the Pacers.
By Sport 5, although, with Tyrese injured and extra work on O, it was Nembhard getting gassed.
In Sport 6, Nembhard performed halfcourt D. Completely labored.
So: what to do in Sport 7?

“The pain he puts in every day, every night, I don’t think there’s (anybody) else in the world that wanted it more than he did,” said veteran James Johnson, the 38-year-old Pacers protector who helped Haliburton to the locker room. “I’ve been on loads of groups, and I’ve seen guys sidelined due to that very same harm, and he wouldn’t let that cease him from serving to us.” -via New York Times / June 23, 2025
Victor Oladipo: In the Finals? So we just going keep playing right? Like its okay right? Like it ain’t happen huh? Like this is just part of it right?But what would this play off run be without Hali? What about Dame what about JT and so many others. I guess we are going to simply blame it on the second although lol and Hey he bought thousands and thousands proper so he will likely be alright huh? So what actually issues? The Athlete 🤔?. It’s all good although. I promise you im going to be part of this modification. It doesn’t need to be a norm or simply a part of the sport anymore in any sport. We will and can shield the gamers higher. Yall get pleasure from the remainder of the sport although. Relaxation up Hali bro this can make you stronger. -via x.com / June 23, 2025
Tony East: I requested Obi Toppin about what the second of seeing Haliburton go down was like. “I felt like that was my fault too. Passed the ball to him and… (long pause) as soon as he went down, that shit hurt. I ain’t gonna lie. I was thinking about that the whole game.” -via Bluesky / June 23, 2025
