The moment when Thales Halliburton stepped into the player's passage, he pointed his one-handed finger at the sky, his eyes wide open, but his heart was extremely firm - the curtain of the series had just opened. His words were loud and clear: "The series is long, and only a team that wins four games can win the championship." According to Thunder reporters, the loss in this game marked the first time the Thunder lost to the Eastern Conference team since March 12, 2024, spanning a long 15 months. And the opponent who lost that time was the Indiana Pacers in front of him. The Pacers official took the opportunity to post a photo: When the Thunder led the Pacers by 15 points, the official website predicted that the Thunder had a 97.9% chance of winning the G1, but the Pacers staged a shocking reversal with a slight probability of 2.1%. In this game, the six players in Inn City scored in double digits: Nesmith contributed 10 points, Nembhard scored 14 points, Halliburton also scored 14 points, Turner scored 15 points, Totel scored 17 points, and Sika scored 19 points alone. This is undoubtedly a Carlisle-like victory, and the charm of team basketball is fully displayed.

ESPN praised Halliburton: "So far in the playoffs, he has scored winning goals in every round of the series, and has become the real key man." NBA official website data shows that Halliburton made 12 of 13 shots, with an astonishing 92.3% shooting percentage. So far in the playoffs, he has made perfect shots in the last 30 seconds. After the game, Halliburton hugged his old father tightly, tears flashing in his eyes. This season, he was named "the most overrated gentleman" by NBA players, but on the playoff stage, he proved his worth with practical actions. The team that led 1-0 in the finals has a 70.5% chance of winning the championship, and a total of 55 teams have successfully won the championship in history. However, 23 teams still achieved a reversal, accounting for 29.5%. The Pacers and Thunder series has just begun. Who will laugh to the end, let's wait and see.
