NBA Finals podcast Michael Roberson:
#1 The only way the Indiana Pacers were going to win game 1 was to chip away at the Oklahoma City Thunder and they were able to manage to pull it off with a one point 111-110 win over the Thunder.
#2 Another consideration was the Pacers turned the ball over 19 times in the first half and were still able to keep together and pull off the surprise win.
#3 There was no one from the Pacers who scored above 20 points it was total team effort and ball distribution do you see that kind of offense as key strategy to keep the Thunder off balance rather than the Pacers have a designated go to guy.
#4 Talk about Tyrese Haliburton’s buzzer beater that sank in for the Pacers one point win. This team is carrying over momentum from the previous series.
#5 Pacers and Thunder get after it again in game 2 at Oklahoma City. You can be assured the Thunder will do whatever it takes to prevent a loss on their home floor at Paycom Arena in OKC?
