The Nba Finals began with an outside shot by the Indiana Pacers, who, for a change on a comeback, won at home by the Oklahoma City Thunder 111-110.
The hero of the night was Tyrese Haliburton, not so much for his double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds but for the basket almost at the buzzer that gave the first lead of the night to a team that had been down at all times, even by 15 points.
To OKC, the 38 points of MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander were not enough. Game 2 will be played on Sunday night and Monday, with the hosts called for redemption: another defeat would be very heavy in ring optics.
