Game 7: the two best words in sports. The NBA Finals seemed lopsided before the series began, but they’ve been anything but that.
Oklahoma City was a heavy favorite, owning the league’s best regular-season record, while the No. 4 seed Pacers were underdogs in almost every game of the postseason.
None of that matters anymore, as Indiana forced a Game 7 following a dominant Game 6 performance at home. Tyrese Haliburton is dealing with a calf strain, but he played through the injury to post 14 points and five assists in 23 minutes.
The rest of the Pacers stepped up in the 108-91 win, with Obi Toppin scoring a team-high 20 points. Andrew Nembhard, Pascal Siakam, T.J. McConnell and Aaron Nesmith also scored in double figures.
Game 7 will be in Oklahoma City as the Thunder look to celebrate their first title since the franchise won as the Seattle Supersonics in 1979. Indiana is seeking its first NBA championship.
