The Oklahoma City Thunder faced another game-winning shot in its playoff run, this time coming from Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton to steal Game 1 of the NBA Finals on the road.

Gilgeous-Alexander scored 38 points in Game 1, but his supporting cast couldn’t get it going, and Tyrese Haliburton’s jumper in the final second gave the Pacers a 111-110 win.
