00:00Jason Walsh started a bunch in the regular season, the 21-year-old.
00:06What an impression he's made in two quick years here.
00:10Omgret knocked away by Turner.
00:14Siakam down the lane.
00:15Running shot and a foul.
00:17Daylon Williams will pick up his second as we check in with Lisa Salters.
00:21Yeah, Mike, I talked to our Patriots assistant, Boyd Pierce.
00:23He said exactly what Doris Burke just said, that it wasn't just the 19 turnovers.
00:27Add in the six offensive rebounds, those 18 more possessions.
00:31He said, if that continues, that's going to be a hard battle for us.
00:34But again, he said, no need to panic.
00:36We feel their pressure now.
00:37Maybe we're playing a bit too fast off the rebound.
00:40He said, perhaps you just slow down a bit and then run.
00:43But he said, we've just got to get shots on the rim.
00:47All right, Lisa, Siakam to the free-throw line.
00:50We're going to listen to Rick Carlisle in the locker room at halftime.
00:53But the good thing is, 19 turnovers only have six points, all right?
01:00Six points?
01:01And nine points, all right?
01:02Not at the end of the world, all right?
01:04We're right there.
01:05We've had a lot of really good looks at threes.
01:07Some of them haven't gone in.
01:09Stay with the process, all right?
01:10Stay with the process.
01:13Well, during the regular season after they played them,
01:16Rick Carlisle told OKC the best basketball team on the planet.
01:19But his team has come so far since back then,
01:23especially here in the postseason, back to an 11-point game.
01:27Opening minutes here on the third.
01:30Jaylen Williams lines up that three-pointer.
01:34Siakam comes away with it.
01:40Siakam backs in.
01:43Big height advantage before Wallace battles.
01:45And the boys, he battled hard.
01:48First two possessions of the game,
01:50Kaysom Wallace got scored on by Siakam.
01:52You see the pride there.
01:55Gildas Alexander, that's his spot.
01:58Mid-range Maestro lead back up to 13.
02:03I love the effort that Wallace played,
02:06but ultimately, Siakam looked over one shoulder
02:09and saw Chet Holmgren there, so he knew he could go there.
02:12So he worked middle, battles up there,
02:14and is only able to get a tough little floater.
02:16That's great team defense.
02:18Starts with the individual.
02:20Halliburton for three.
02:21Too strong.
02:22Nimhor back up top.
02:23Turner pass inside.
02:25Good swing.
02:26Siakam can't get at the fall.
02:28Siakam three of eight from the field.
02:31Boy, those are the shots you've got to make, Mike.
02:33This has been the best shooting team in the playoffs.
02:36Gildas Alexander again.
02:38Turns.
02:38Can't get at the fall.
02:39Allibert, beautiful pass.
02:44Siakam running the floor.
02:47Allibert leads everybody.
02:50He had a sister in the playoffs.
03:00Wallace.
03:01Nice move, and the finish takes it to Wallace.
03:04His first field goal, first points.
03:12Quick ball movement.
03:13And Neesmith, the beneficiary.
03:17Second three-pointer.
03:20And they're telling their defense, get up.
03:22Keep that pressure.
03:23Because if you can limit your tone average to maybe 14 in this half,
03:27the game could be a little different.
03:28Alli-o, Wallace and Williams.
03:30Williams harassing Siakam.
03:38Keep that!
03:40Keep that!
03:40Keep that!
03:42Keep that!
03:42Keep that!
03:43Keep that!
03:43Keep that!
03:44Keep that!
03:44Keep that!
03:45Keep that!
03:45Easton on the bounce, drives, leads in, and an offensive foul call.
03:51They seem a little more composed in terms of dealing with this pressure to start the third.
04:00They're a little bit more in D.B.
04:02Look, when you're watching this defense, look at this.
04:05Chest, chest, just showing his body the entire time.
04:09Yes, that's an offensive foul, but watch this.
04:11And Kaysen Wallace, he is underrated passer.
04:15You see him making passes like that in very tight spots.
04:19You know about his defense, he can knock down a shot, but his passes help their offense
04:23flow also.
04:24Yeah, he started 43 games during the regular season.
04:28He would start for a lot of teams.
04:30Daylon Williams can't get a default.
04:32Turner, outlet Nimhart.
04:34Halliburton cross-court, Nimhart passed up an open look.
04:49Shot clock down to five.
04:51Nimhart off the bounce, gets into the paint.
04:54Nisman shot blocked by Holmgren right there, Siakam.
04:58Great defensive play, but Siakam stays with it.
05:00Wallace inside, a bullet pass from SGA.
05:12So Kaysen beat him individually when they emptied the side, and that time in transition, attacking
05:17Halliburton both times.
05:19He's dropped over Halliburton.
05:25Turner fakes, drives on Holman to the rim, another fake, and the finish, but they call it
05:30travel.
05:31Turner doesn't like the call, perhaps lifted his pivot foot, and OKC will call a timeout.
05:37That's the 22nd turnover, 20 of them in the first half.
05:41100% that's a travel.
05:42That's an easy call.
05:43That might be the easiest call the referees had all night.
05:54The NBA Finals, presented by YouTube TV, are brought to you by Popeyes, love that chicken
06:01from Popeyes, and ballerina in theaters tomorrow.
06:05It's time to take a look at what fans are searching for, presented by Google.
06:14Searches for the most turnovers in a Finals game, spiking, look at that percentage, and the
06:21most turnovers in a Finals game is 34.
06:24The Blazers, the year they won the title, it was game one against the Philadelphia 76ers.
06:29They lost the game way back in 1977.
06:33They were the youngest team ever in the Finals.
06:36The Blazers, this OKC team is the second youngest, as Williams couldn't get that to go.
06:40Good defense individually by Halliburton.
06:43He's got to stay fighting on that end.
06:46Halliburton.
06:47Jump shot is good.
06:50Shot that one over his head.
06:53He normally has that, that kind of funny push shot.
06:56Well, he had to float it over his head and hang in the air a little bit long with that contest.
07:00But Dort answers right back with a three.
07:0412 points for Dort.
07:07He's the second player on OKC in double figures.
07:11Also has four steals.
07:13Obi Toppin.
07:15Six on the 24.
07:20Limbhard.
07:22Double team.
07:24Kicks it out.
07:25Toppin has to put it up.
07:26He does.
07:27And it's the three.
07:28Obi Toppin as the shot clock expired.
07:30That's two in this quarter.
07:32Pascal Siacham bails him out with an offensive rebound.
07:35And Obi a tough shot.
07:37Dort comes right back.
07:39Dort's got five threes.
07:45Hit some big threes in the Denver series in the second round.
07:48As Nimhard comes right back and banks it home.
07:51Boy, Nimhard, he is a tough playoff performer.
07:56Auburn free.
07:58Miscommunication defensively that time.
08:00And an easy bucket for the Thunder.
08:06Turner fouled on the catch.
08:08This is often throughout the season, the time of game where OKC can go on one of those crazy runs.
08:14But they keep answering, Mike, Indiana.
08:19But this is just a little dive to the cup by Chet.
08:24And then Luthor, he was 30% in the playoffs.
08:31I mean, a career high in the regular season, 41%.
08:34But he had been struggling massively.
08:36He's got five.
08:39Halliburton, another floater.
08:41Nice move from Halliburton.
08:42He's in double figures.
08:43Just the second pacer.
08:45Siakam has 13.
08:47Halliburton with 10.
08:48And it's an 11-point deficit for Indiana.
08:51Ildis Alexander pulls up.
08:54Jump shot.
08:55Can't get it to fall.
08:56Caruso tips it out.
08:58Shot clock reset.
09:00Williams, nice fake.
09:04And the drive.
09:05Matherin with the block.
09:07Benedict Matherin with the answer.
09:14Halliburton launches a three.
09:17Hartenstein grabs that.
09:19This game doesn't feel very close because of what we've seen in the way we played as an offensive foul.
09:29But ultimately, the Pacers are within range.
09:32They're within range.
09:33But watch this.
09:35Just body-to-body block.
09:38That is an impressive timing.
09:40No foul.
09:42He got all of that ball.
09:44But I love the fact that J-Dub was about to go and try and flush that.
09:48Matherin is a spectacular athlete.
09:51Williams sits down.
09:52The offensive foul on SGA, his second personal.
09:55That's only their fifth turnover.
09:58With 22 turnovers for Indiana.
10:01Halliburton will be top and hits him threes early.
10:04Can't get that one to go.
10:05Hartenstein grabs another rebound.
10:08As we hit the four-minute mark here in the third.
10:11SGA drives on Bryant.
10:18Mid-range knocks it down.
10:20But Hartenstein's quick screen.
10:24He flipped it so fast.
10:26Toppin.
10:27Nice pass inside.
10:32And Obi Toppin able to get it.
10:35And Toppin's got 11 points.
10:37Had some turnovers early.
10:38He was struggling.
10:39Has been able to do some scoring.
10:42The spin.
10:47The crossover.
10:48Draws the foul.
10:49Shot will not count.
10:51No basket.
10:53Came before the upward motion as Bryant will pick up his second personal.
10:59Man, I think this is closer than we think here.
11:03I mean, he's gonna feel the contact.
11:05And he's so good that he goes right into it.
11:08Yeah.
11:09DB, I'm not sure.
11:10I don't think that this is a foul.
11:11Just because the foul was on the push and then the spin.
11:14You don't think it was a foul?
11:15No, I'm talking about shooting fouls.
11:17Shooting foul to be clear.
11:18And just like a pull up.
11:20Yeah.
11:21It just looked right before.
11:27Isaiah Joe off the bench again.
11:29Shot clock down to five.
11:30Mark Stein looking.
11:32Somebody's gotta put it up.
11:35Mark Stein unaware.
11:36Caruso.
11:37Does he get it off in time?
11:38Nope.
11:3924 second violation.
11:43Say what you want about the Pacers and their turnovers.
11:47They're holding 40%.
11:49That's what OKC is shooting and it's still in his hands.
11:52They've limit their free throw attempt.
11:54They've actually, the Pacers have shot more free throws than OKC so far.
11:58That's right.
11:59That's right.
12:00Paul Gort tries to save it but can't.
12:02Out of bounds.
12:03By the way, our officials tonight, John Goble, Mark Davis, David Guthrie.
12:07It's an honor for these NBA reps.
12:09They get the white jacket, the white finals jacket.
12:12And that's what they all strive for.
12:13And that's what they all strive for.
12:14These three gentlemen have combined called 45 finals games.
12:19Siakam will come back in.
12:28Timeout called.
12:29Exactly three minutes remaining in the third.
12:31An 11 point lead for the Thunder.
12:41By 11, three to play here.
12:42Third quarter of game one of the 2025 finals.
12:45Packed house, including NBA commissioner Adam Silver.
12:49As he's watching this historic team.
12:5268 wins in the regular season.
12:5412 and 4, 8, 80 and 18.
12:58Only one team beat him from the Eastern Conference.
13:00It was Cleveland, in Cleveland.
13:02The point differential when you combine regular season and playoffs.
13:05Second highest in the history of the NBA.
13:08A lot of dominant wins.
13:10They also lost the game by 42.
13:12Which is hard to believe.
13:13But not only has it been winning after winning.
13:16But such dominance on a nightly basis.
13:1861 times of those 80 wins they won by double figures.
13:22It has been remarkable to watch their growth.
13:25Every year.
13:26Year over year.
13:27But the jump that they've made this year.
13:29Reminds me of the Golden State Warriors.
13:31When they went on to win their first championship.
13:33And then have 73 the next.
13:35Caruso trying to stop Siakam.
13:37Blocked by Dillard.
13:38Again the help defense.
13:41Caruso just got over the timeline.
13:43Drives in.
13:44Layup is no good.
13:45Hardenstein with the stuff.
13:53Hardenstein 9.7 boards off the bench.
13:56Matherin.
13:58Pass inside.
13:59And the finish.
14:00Tough finish from Thomas Bryant.
14:03Mid-season acquisition.
14:05Had a terrific game six clincher against the Dicks.
14:11Arnstein gets it.
14:12Kicks it out.
14:13Caruso corner three.
14:19EJ McConnell.
14:20As we hit the two minute mark.
14:22Here in the third.
14:23These are always such significant moments.
14:25Can Indiana get this in single digits?
14:28Siakam.
14:29That would have done it if he hit that one.
14:31That's Siakam's first three-pointer tent.
14:34He leads them in scoring with 13.
14:37Isaiah Joe.
14:38Caruso left open.
14:39And hit the three.
14:41Can't hit the three.
14:44But you said it, DB.
14:46If you want to have a moment here, you know OKC how they play at home.
14:50You've got to protect the ball.
14:52Get good quality shots and get back on defense if you're Indiana.
14:56McConnell to Halliburton.
14:59And a foul.
15:00It's going to go against OKC.
15:03Luke Dorton will pick up his third.
15:09Well, Dorton is a guy who absolutely tries not to ever allow himself to be screened.
15:14He's going to try to step up, but he's obviously holding Thomas Bryant.
15:20Trying to bait that into the official thinking it was going the other way.
15:23I don't know how sometimes they call those doors because it's it's everybody's grabbing each other.
15:28Mike, you're right.
15:30Thomas Bryant held him first, and then Lou held him second.
15:33Just like having kids, the second one gets caught.
15:36That's Mathren.
15:38And it knocked away.
15:39Einstein thought he got that clean.
15:43The NBA player instinct would immediately look up at the big screen.
15:47And here's your index finger.
15:48As you can hear from the crowd, they obviously feel it wasn't a foul.
15:53Well, that's the end of it, and it looked like it was clean from the end.
15:56And Mark Dignall will challenge it.
16:01First challenge of the night.
16:03We'll take a timeout.
16:0411 point lead for the Thunder.
16:06And the challenge unsuccessful as Hartenstein will be called.
16:17And that foul.
16:18Watch here.
16:19Right on the wrist.
16:20It's a simple call.
16:21Now, he does sweep through and get the ball.
16:23That's when the ball comes out.
16:25But there's that Hawkeye catching all of it.
16:29And I liked it.
16:30Matherin told them to review it.
16:32Matherin was kind of looking at him, telling him to review.
16:35Now, they just lost their challenge, and they don't have it for the rest of the game.
16:38You see, Matherin, those are his regular season numbers.
16:42Obviously, with some of the injuries, he played a lot.
16:46He was their third leading scorer, 16 points per game.
16:49I mean, he missed the playoffs last year with that shoulder injury.
16:52He's had some good moments.
16:54It's the free throw.
16:55Our upcoming national TV schedule.
16:57ABC Saturday.
16:58WNBA.
16:59Las Vegas in San Francisco.
17:023 o'clock Eastern.
17:03Then ABC Sunday.
17:04Game 2 of this series right back here at OKC.
17:07Again, a half-hour earlier start.
17:09Tip-off shortly after 8 Eastern.
17:11You think the fans in San Francisco are thrilled that the Valkyries are there?
17:14First team in WNBA history.
17:1618,000 fans per night.
17:19Incredible.
17:25Nine-point game.
17:26Just under a minute and a half remaining here in the third.
17:29Gilgis Alexander finds a spot.
17:32Can't get it before Caruso.
17:34Another tip-out.
17:35Isaiah Joe hits a three.
17:37Those are the kind of intangible plays from Alex Caruso.
17:45McConnell.
17:46Bryant gets it a go.
17:49Bryant had three threes in the game six clincher against the Knicks.
17:54But those corner threes are the one shot that this team gives up in high volume.
17:59And that's a big shot again.
18:01Thunder trying to get one of those runs going, but the patients have always kind of had an answer.
18:06Yeah, but the paint touches.
18:08Indiana's done a better job scoring in the paint.
18:10TJ merely touching the paint off the bounce and you get a clean look from three in the corner.
18:15Matherin.
18:16Right up in the SGA.
18:20Five left on the shot clock.
18:25Pulls back.
18:26Leans in.
18:27Tried to draw a foul.
18:28Shot won't go.
18:29Matherin did a good job staying vertical.
18:30Calls from McConnell.
18:31McConnell nine points.
18:32Three assists off the bench.
18:33One of the best bench players in the NBA.
18:35Whips a pass in the corner.
18:36Open three.
18:37Siakam nails it.
18:38And it's a six-point game.
18:39We tried to tell you this is a 48-minute team.
18:42It doesn't matter the turnovers.
18:43Who's shooting.
18:44Who's doing what.
18:45Shot clock turned off.
18:46No fouls to give for Indiana.
18:47Four seconds.
18:48SGA against Shepard.

19:35A little something here in the third.
19:36Shea Gildress Alexander.
19:37With his third three pointer this presentation of the Hallelujah.
19:39This presentation of the NBA Finals presented by UTTV
19:42continues after this message and a word from our ABC stations.
19:50Finals presented by UTTV.
19:53Lou, you're up nine.
19:54You've been hot from three.
19:55What's been feeling good to you tonight on the offensive?
19:58I mean, we're moving the ball.
20:00I've been in the right shot.
20:01My teammates did a good job fighting me.
20:03I just got to shoot with confidence.
20:04You've kept their stars relatively quiet,
20:07but the Pacers, they're hanging around.
20:09What do you have to keep doing defensively in the fourth quarter
20:11to keep Siakam and Halliburton from getting hot?
20:14Yeah, we just got to do what we do,
20:16and then, I mean, just make it tough for them.
20:18We've been doing that all year, and we got to do it tonight.
20:20All right, thanks for your time.
20:22Mike.
20:22Okay, Lee Suit, Lou Dork, four steals.
20:25Alex Caruso with a shot in the head.
20:27A good aggressive move to the basket.
20:31And Matherin picks up the foul.
20:33He's second.
20:34This will be the first free throw of the second half for OKC.
20:38But Indiana played better basketball in the third,
20:41and a few things contributed to that.
20:42Number one, only two turnovers.
20:45They made four threes, all of them from the corner.
20:50And Mike just said, this is his first free throw.
20:52They kept OKC off the line.
20:55All three of those things are part of the formula to beat them.
20:59You know, Doris, you can see, you watch this team,
21:01and their confidence and their belief
21:03has grown in the playoffs with all these comebacks.
21:07They just, they've got talent, obviously,
21:09but they have an impressive level of fight.
21:13And you can never count them out.
21:15They've done it all season long,
21:16especially after the slow start in the regular season.
21:19But they still trail by 11.
21:23Matherin, Siakam, Bryant, McConnell,
21:26and Shepard.
21:30McConnell jump shot.
21:31Can't go to the ball.
21:32Mark Stein is ninth rebound.
21:34Jalen Williams.
21:45Williams finds some room, gets inside,
21:47takes his time, and banks it home.
21:50The basketball IQ and maturity there.
21:54Attacking from different sides of the floor,
21:56using the big, taking his time.
21:58He's able to get whatever he wants in those moments.
22:01To tell me that he's in his third year,
22:07and he's taking his time.
22:08Look at this.
22:08Not pressured.
22:09We talked about Indiana being sped up.
22:11He's taking his time,
22:13getting to his spots, and finishing.
22:15Caruso just picked up his third foul.
22:17He was hot.
22:18Matherin gets it.
22:18Goes underneath.
22:20Williams called for the foul.
22:22That's going to be three on Jalen Williams.
22:25Matherin back to the free throw line.
22:31Just a simple back cut off the pressure outside.
22:35Matherin is an attacker on the offensive end.
22:38He is.
22:38You know where he went to school, DB?
22:42Well, I wonder.
22:43Why are you laughing, Mike?
22:45It's the only time you ask that question.
22:49He's an Arizona Wildcat.
22:53Free throw off the mark.
22:55UFC 316.
22:56Saturday night from the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
22:59Both Vantamweight belts on the line.
23:01The prelims begin at 8 Eastern on ESPN.
23:03ESPN Deportes and ESPN Plus in English and Spanish.
23:06The main card starts at 10 Eastern.
23:08Buy it at ESPNPlus.com slash PPV.
23:14There's some nights when you watch Matherin.
23:17He's a phenomenal athlete.
23:20Just watching, you think he might be the best player on the floor.
23:24He's got a lot of room to grow when you look at, you know,
23:27again, the injury last year, but he has grown so much.
23:30And having Rick Carlisle as your coach, that's going to speed things up.
23:35Foul on McConnell.
23:36Nice backdoor cut.
23:38Wiggins got fouled on the pass from Hartenstein.
23:41McConnell's first.
23:42Officials discussing if it's going to be in the act of shooting.
23:50So the back cut's so effective.
23:51Pascal was up in the passing lane.
23:54And it's just a little simple read by Wiggins.
23:57The hard step toward the ball first sells that initial defender.
24:01The low man makes contact.
24:03Wiggins, another one of those bench players and an occasional starter.
24:08Important role the last four years with this team.
24:11Second-round pick out of Maryland.
24:14He's one of those whatever-you-need type of player on any given night.
24:18And once you start to establish that culture as a franchise,
24:22players that are trying, whether it's in the G League,
24:25they know if they come and give 100% effort,
24:28the Oklahoma City Thunder will give you an opportunity.
24:30They will give you an opportunity to show what you have.
24:33And that's what a lot of players just ask for.
24:36Russo goes under the screen.
24:38Matherin goes right at him inside.
24:40Lamp's good.
24:40There's that athleticism.
24:42What a burst of speed, Mike.
24:44It's not easy getting past Alex Caruso.
24:46He had a couple of big scoring games in the Conference Finals.
24:50Williams, Matherin, meanwhile, got knocked out, able to finish.
24:53Matherin's shaking up on that play.
24:56It's another screen assist by Hartenstein.
25:02Matherin's still holding his right elbow.
25:06Shepard to McConnell.
25:07Matherin got in his way.
25:09Shot clock at 7.
25:11McConnell pass deflected by Wiggins.
25:14Taken right back by McConnell.
25:15Shot clock winding down.
25:18And a whistle.
25:19New shot clock.
25:22They did not reset the shot clock.
25:24Mark Davis right on top of it.
25:31Because of a change in possession.
25:35McConnell driving in the lane.
25:37That right there, once you put both hands in the ball,
25:40then it's stolen away.
25:41So that's the possession.
25:43As soon as Wiggins touched at the clock shot,
25:46should have been reset.
25:48Now 22 on the 24.
25:54Mason Wallace back in.
25:55Siakam throws it up.
25:59Banker rolls in and out.
26:01And right there, Matherin couldn't get it the fall.
26:03Siakam had it, lost it.
26:05And it still paced her ball.
26:07Defense!
26:15Defense!
26:17Defense!
26:18Defense!
26:19Defense!
26:20Defense!
26:20McConnell holding.
26:23Good ball denial.
26:25Stolen by Williams.
26:26Bad pass, a turnover, and a costly one as Jalen Williams throws it down.
26:31Largest lead of the game, timeout Indiana.
26:42And just watch the deny.
26:45When there's switching that has to happen, it's always clean.
26:48Clean switch initially.
26:50Nowhere to go but the long pass.
26:52That means it's closing speed for Jalen Williams and a live ball turnover.
26:57And here comes the Oklahoma City Thunder run.
27:04The NBA Finals are presented by YouTube TV.
27:09There's no TV like YouTube TV.
27:12In part by Burger King.
27:14At BK, have it your way.
27:16You rule.
27:18And Jurassic World Rebirth in theaters July 2nd.
27:22Another sellout crowd night after night in what has been a magical season right now with two and a half gone by here in the fourth quarter of game one.
27:35Thunder with their largest lead of the night.
27:40Top and back in.
27:41Nimhard.
27:42Halliburton.
27:43Turner.
27:44Nimhard gets inside.
27:45Count it at one.
27:46Nimhard.
27:47Tough shot.
27:48And he banks it home.
27:49And a chance for a three-point play.
27:50Mike, over the course of the series, you learn how aggressive you have to be.
27:57You don't get to tiptoe against these guys.
27:59Look how aggressive.
28:00He is not stopping.
28:01He's ripping that ball through.
28:03If you try and go in there with any sort of finesse, with any sort of carelessness,
28:08but look how physically aggressively he was getting into that paint.
28:12And that's four fouls on Caruso.
28:14Nimhard showed his wearer in the playoffs last year.
28:18It was spectacular.
28:19He's had some big games again.
28:21He's got such poise under the playoff pressure.
28:26Williams.
28:27Wallace.
28:29Can't hit the three.
28:30Rebound deflected off Nimhard.
28:32Top and trying to dive to save it.
28:34Thunderball.
28:35Good hustle from Obie Toppin.
28:43But unable to gather it in.
28:53That's a really good spot.
28:55He knows what he needs to do there.
28:59Now Toppin guarding Caruso.
29:01A little crossover.
29:02Caruso.
29:03A buff shot.
29:03It's good.
29:04And a foul.
29:06Caruso chaos here in the fourth quarter.
29:09It's a 14-point lead.
29:16This guy is relentless.
29:18He's got a big in front of him.
29:19He hit him with the inside-out dribble.
29:21Then the slight pursuit of the body.
29:24So smart.
29:25Subtle enough that the official doesn't think anything of it.
29:28And the finish.
29:29Welcome to the Caruso.
29:32That's the proper.
29:33Tonight, that's what it is.
29:35But you can't miss a free throw, Alex.
29:37Come on, man.
29:38After we're hyping you up.
29:40He's mad at himself.
29:42Caruso, 11 points.
29:44Four rebounds.
29:45Couple of assists.
29:46Three steals.
29:47What an impact.
29:51A brilliant acquisition from Sam Preston.
29:54Nimhard gets inside.
29:55Back out.
29:55Obie Toppin' three-pawner.
29:57Got it.
29:57Obie Toppin' again.
29:58That is fourth three-pointer of the game.
30:02Pressure back up.
30:03Look.
30:04They don't stop.
30:04It's relentless pressure.
30:06If you have three, four minutes, all of a sudden they go on an 8-9-0 run and the game looks different.
30:10So much time.
30:11Still left.
30:12Eight and a half minutes.
30:13Here are the fourth quarter.
30:14Jalen Williams with Neesmith right with him.
30:18Williams pulls up.
30:19Difficult shot.
30:20Rolls off the rim.
30:21And then Neesmith gets the rebound.
30:27Nimhard gets away.
30:28Drives inside.
30:29Play up.
30:29Can't get that one to fall.
30:30And Caruso comes up with a loose ball.
30:41Jalen Williams inside.
30:43Hartenstein loves that floater too strong.
30:46Pacers have been an excellent road team in these playoffs.
30:54Six and two.
30:56Miles Turner from downtown.
30:58His first three-pointer.
31:00And it's right back to eight.
31:01Timeout.
31:02OKC.
31:04This is the team that has been the best shooting team in the playoffs.
31:09And they've just played through adversity.
31:11Played through the turnovers in the first.
31:13Threes are something you will get against OKC.
31:16They're making them.
31:27Let's look at some of tonight's key plays with YouTube TV.
31:30Where you can catch up on game highlights right in the app.
31:33Plenty of highlights from Alex Caruso.
31:35Oh, Mike.
31:36It's the Caruso show.
31:38If you've been watching him tonight.
31:39Again, doing everything for his team.
31:41Knocking down a three.
31:43Helping out on pressure defense.
31:45Multiple times coming over.
31:46Making plays.
31:48Offensive rebound directly to a shooter.
31:51Giving Joe a three.
31:53And then here.
31:53Oh, you want him to go one-on-one?
31:55He's going to go right at Obi Toppin's body.
31:57And get an and one.
31:58These are the type of plays that can inspire a team.
32:02He's got his fingerprints all over this one.
32:05Indiana.
32:06Again on the comeback trail.
32:07Down by eight.
32:08Nice feet inside.
32:09Wallace.
32:10Jaylin Williams with a perfect pass.
32:12His sixth assist.
32:18Dimheye.
32:18Backs up.
32:25Offensive foul.
32:26Miles Turner.
32:27His third.
32:28Every time they need a bucket.
32:30They go after Tyrese Halliburton.
32:33Who's checking the back cut here?
32:36It's Tyrese Halliburton.
32:37Good little screen.
32:38He takes a tough angle.
32:40Passes on the money.
32:41That ended the longest run of the game by Indiana.
32:45Six zip.
32:46I mean, that, for an Indiana team that is so spurtable, that can put a run on you so fast.
32:52Incredible job by OKC.
32:55Responses from both teams.
32:57As Wallace lines up.
32:58Can't get the three.
33:00Rebound falls into the hands of Nimhard.
33:02Ten-point game.
33:03Seven minutes remaining.
33:04Neesmith trying to find some room.
33:08Surrounded.
33:09Knocked away.
33:10Gets it again.
33:11Double-team.
33:12Toppin three-pointer.
33:13Puts it in.
33:14Obi Toppin his fifth three-pointer.
33:16He's got 17 points in 21 minutes.
33:23Start of the game so poorly.
33:25A bunch of turnovers.
33:27What a great recovery.
33:30Williams to Dort.
33:31Dort tries a three.
33:33In and out.
33:34Halliburton tracks it down.
33:37Halliburton ten points.
33:39Neesmith the three.
33:40Way short.
33:41Turner.
33:43Foul before the shot attempt.
33:46It's going to be the fourth team foul.
33:48Wait, Obi just hands up.
33:52Knows his teammates in trouble.
33:53Clapping, trying to make sure he knows where he is.
33:56He knows Neesmith doesn't have vision.
33:58So he's communicating with his hands.
34:00Like, hey, I'm open.
34:01But it was also his man that had left him.
34:04It was his man that had left him.
34:05So that's what you're looking for, is that open man.
34:08Turner sidesteps.
34:09Banks in the three.
34:11Miles Turner.
34:11It's a four-point game as we approach the mid-way point of the fourth.
34:17The Pacers on another comeback.
34:2112-2 run.
34:22SGA bumped and fouled by Nimhard.
34:31The two-team Canada teammates.
34:33And Nimhard picks up his third.
34:37These two guys are close.
34:39You see a little push afterwards?
34:40I sure did.
34:41I saw a little push afterwards, DB.
34:43And the two guys, close friends on the Canadian national team.
34:48And he's going to make sure he walks to the free throw line and gives the push right back.
34:53Uh-huh.
34:53Only the third and fourth free throws of the game for Gildas Alexander.
34:57He now has 29.
34:58And then Turner, look, sometimes you've got to be a little lucky, but how many seven-footers do you know?
35:08Pump fake, do a step back, and then knock it off the three.
35:12Indiana, 16 of 34, 47% from three, continuing being the best three-point shooting team in the playoffs.
35:20And they're nine for 14 on corner threes.
35:23They've been the best corner three-point shooting team.
35:25And that is the shot you see Oklahoma City, not concede, but give up the high volume of them.
35:32By the way, the Pacers, they're 7-1 in clutch games in this postseason.
35:37It's a six-point game.
35:39Just under six to play.
35:41Nimhard finds Turner.
35:43Turner, elbow jumper.
35:44Got it!
35:45Turner now with 15 points.
35:47This is the first time that I've seen OKC with their eyes trying to figure it out.
35:56They're slowly trying to figure out how to get back in control of this game.
36:00Williams drives and is fouled.
36:03Jalen Williams knocked down.
36:04OKC's had some important clutch victories.
36:07A couple against Denver, one against Minnesota.
36:11Sorry, Mike.
36:12I love what they're doing with Nimhard, right?
36:14They're letting him handle the basketball and pick and roll.
36:17And he's just playing in the two-man game.
36:19Nice little bounce pass to the sweet shooting Turner.
36:22And look, when you get into a tough spot, attack that rim.
36:25Good things happen.
36:26If you're struggling, the turnovers, whatever.
36:29But right now, we have a four-point game with five minutes to go.
36:34Williams now 16 points and six assists.
36:40He talked about last year when they got eliminated in the second round.
36:43It was as painful an experience in his professional career.
36:48Took him a long time before he went back and watched the game that they lost that eliminated.
36:54Gives his team a six-point lead.
36:56He's got eight points here on the fourth.
36:58Nimhard again aggressively goes inside.
37:00Bang shot in and out.
37:01Rebound Holmgren.
37:05Caruso pushes, but the Pacers are back.
37:13Jalen Williams.
37:15A couple of crossovers inside.
37:16Layup off the glass.
37:19Halliburton the other way.
37:22Halliburton got to get himself involved.
37:24Layup.
37:24Bang shot's good.
37:26Tyrese Halliburton makes it a four-point game.
37:30He's got 12 points, 10 boards, and six assists.
37:35Inside.
37:35Hondran layup won't go.
37:37Siakam gets it.
37:38Come around.
37:39Come around.
37:42Nimhard so aggressive.
37:46This kid is unafraid.
37:50Spins.
37:51Well defended by Dort.
37:53Shot clock at seven.
37:54Halliburton sees it open.
37:55It kicks it out.
37:57Turner a three.
37:57And Caruso to rebound.
38:00A great look that wouldn't fall.
38:06Right now, OKC clinging to a four-point lead here in Game 1 of the Finals.
38:13SGA the drive.
38:14SGA the finish.
38:15That is a ridiculous finish.
38:23It's the need that's more important than the finish, in my opinion.
38:28Halliburton in the corner.
38:31Nimhorn back up top.
38:32Holmgren guarding Halliburton.
38:35On the drive.
38:36Pulled back.
38:36Step back.
38:37Three-pointer.
38:38And Jalen Williams goes high for the rebound with three and a half remaining.
38:48Pacers showing their grit in their fight.
38:50Will it be enough?
38:52SGA the drive.
38:54A foul.
38:54Blocked shot.
38:55Yes, he's going to take a brief rest as Halliburton picks up his first.
39:02Mike, we talked at the top of the show about the poise, the demeanor he brings with.
39:06There's a calmness to what he does.
39:08He's under duress from the outset of the possession, and yet he plays with calmness.
39:14How about the ability to hang in the air, make the adjustment?
39:18That helps you become an MVP.
39:21Look at this finish.
39:23That is difficult.
39:25But on the other end, Tyrese Halliburton, he has these games where he goes in and out,
39:30where he can be dominant and look like one of the best players in the league.
39:33And there's other dates where he puts up 12, 10, and 6.
39:36Those are tour dates.
39:38Your best player can't put up tour dates in the NBA Finals.
39:42Carlisle upset.
39:45You're laughing because he's upset, Mike?
39:46No, no.
39:48You make me laugh.
39:50Oh, thank you, Mike.
39:52Pacers got called for a delay of game.
39:54And that's what Carlisle was arguing about.
40:00They took it away now.
40:02That's important because you get a second one.
40:03It's a technical foul.
40:05SGA now with 33.
40:07He was telling us the other day, coming into his first finals game, he remembers as a nine-year-old shooting fadeaways, pretending he's at the buzzer,
40:14putting up a shot in the finals game, and here he is, his first finals game, he's put up 33.
40:19He's taking a lot of shots, 13 for 27.
40:22Cuts free throws right there.
40:29Lead back to eight.
40:31Defense!
40:33Defense!
40:35Defense!
40:36Defense!
40:37This one switches up, Halliburton on the drive, gets into the paint, wild shot, way off, rebound, Siakam.
40:44And the shot won't go, but a foul.
40:48And two free throws for Pascal Siakam.
40:54Wallace is second.
40:57This is where Indiana has been a number of times.
41:01They are 7-1 in clutch games.
41:06And while Siakam, last time he played the finals game was game six.
41:10The clincher as Toronto defeated Golden State.
41:14He had 26 points and 10 rebounds in that finals game.
41:18And this is that one on.
41:19He might be the least talked-about star player in the NBA.
41:23They talk about him a lot in Indiana.
41:26Tonight, 16 points, 9 rebounds.
41:29But, Mike, that was one of the things I was always taught when I got into this game.
41:33If you wanted to talk about your performance in the postseason,
41:36how consistently you do it in the postseason,
41:39you do that a couple of times,
41:41and all of a sudden your name becomes on the top of the list.
41:45He has struggled in the playoffs at the free throw line.
41:49They're going to call a lane violation on the second missed free throw.
41:53Boy, you could go weeks and weeks watching NBA games
41:57and you won't see a free throw lane violation.
41:59Mark Dignall taking a look.
42:03But he does a little something funky with his hand right before.
42:07That hand is off the ball as it's still going up.
42:10It just looks unique.
42:12And, yes, everybody's in the lane.
42:13Because they know he struggles with the free throw line, Mike.
42:16So, he's going to get one more.
42:21Alex Caruso pleading his case to David Guthrie.
42:24So, Toppin will come in.
42:26Turner will sit down.
42:283-0-7 remaining.
42:31OKC is led by as many as 15,
42:33but the Pacers have cut it to four multiple times here on the 4th.
42:36That's what he's facing.
42:46Had that little hitch again, but this one goes down.
42:55Enlarg, full court pressure.
42:58Oh, and Enlarg runs over Caruso.
43:00Tried to pick up an off-the-ball charge.
43:04Fishing safe play on.
43:07Here comes the double.
43:08Ball lost.
43:10And a foul called.
43:15So, it's going to go against Halliburton.
43:17Both teams are in the penalty.
43:19So, free throws the rest of the way on fouls.
43:22And, look, they keep bringing Halliburton up.
43:24Every single time.
43:26And that is a foul.
43:26That's the right call.
43:27Tyrese knows it.
43:29But how many times, DB, are they bringing him up in a pick-and-roll,
43:32trying to attack him?
43:33No question.
43:34And it's interesting, Richard.
43:35Both teams now downsized completely.
43:39No center on the floor.
43:40No Hartenstein.
43:42No check for OKC.
43:45SGA, 87% from the free throw line in the playoffs.
43:49Another 35-point game.
43:56Make it 36.
44:01They've hit 11 of 13 free throws here on the fourth.
44:04Lead up to nine.
44:05Demar, pushing it off the floor.
44:08Double-teamed.
44:09Knocked away.
44:10Gets it back.
44:11Top and one on a shoot.
44:12Caruso wouldn't let him.
44:14Neesmith.
44:15Dreadles it.
44:16Dreadles it home.
44:17Neesmith with his third three-pointer.
44:19Every time OKC gets a little breathing room, the Pacers have an answer.
44:28Six-point game with two-and-a-half to play.
44:32SGA kicks it out.
44:34Williams fakes, fires three-pointer.
44:37Neesmith the rebound.
44:45Neesmith and Nimhard play catch.
44:47Tyrese is not even the main ball handler at this point in time because the defense has been so aggressive.
44:52Nimhard steps back.
44:53Three-pointer.
44:54Got it!
44:54Three-pointer from Nimhard.
44:56It's a three-point game with 1.59 remaining.
45:04He's hit some big threes in his three-playoff career.
45:09Some anxiety here for the fans in Oklahoma City.
45:14Wallace kicks it out.
45:16Dread, three-pointer.
45:18Williams couldn't grab it.
45:22Calabert.
45:23Back to Neesmith.
45:25Neesmith the drive.
45:26Inside.
45:26Blocked by Dort.
45:28Oh, what a rejection from Lou Dort.
45:32SGA drives.
45:34The finish.
45:34It's good.
45:39He's a scoring machine.
45:41He's got 36.
45:42Peruso called for the foul.
45:48Lou Dort.
45:50All-defensive team.
45:52Watch this challenge.
45:54Straight verticality.
45:55Straight verticality.
45:56Then the block.
45:58The discipline.
45:59This is ridiculous.
46:02Stay straight.
46:03Those arms can come over if contact forces it.
46:05He stays positioned.
46:07That is just so difficult.
46:08Now, on the other end, this is what they do.
46:10They turn turnovers, great defense, into fast-paced transition opportunities.
46:15And then Shea just finishes off the job.
46:19Nembhard hits the free throw.
46:2213 points.
46:23Four-point game.
46:25We heard Rick Carlisle saying, you've got to attack off the drive.
46:29This is what has made Nembhard successful in this half.
46:34Two clutch free throws right there.
46:38Again, both teams in the penalty.
46:44Each team with multiple timeouts.
46:46The Thunder flinging to this three-point lead.
46:53SGA the drive inside.
46:55Shot blocked.
46:56Siakam throws it back.
46:59Nembhard, Denise Smith, up top, top and under a minute remaining.
47:04Defense!
47:06Defense!
47:08Nembhard and Wallace.
47:10Step back.
47:10Three-pointer.
47:12Short rebound.
47:13The follow, Siakam puts it in.
47:15One-point game.
47:17Boy, Siakam just so opportunistic.
47:19Makes the block on one end.
47:21Keeps moving.
47:22He is a relentless mover, Siakam.
47:27SGA guarded by Nembhard.
47:32Back up top, Jalen Williams.
47:34Shot clock at five.
47:35Williams on the drive.
47:36Gets in the paint.
47:37Puts it up off the glass.
47:38Won't go.
47:39Fight for the rebound.
47:40It's loose.
47:41Picked up by Siakam.
47:42And Siakam's out of bounds.
47:45Thunderball with 22.5, but Indiana might challenge.
47:51Every player on Indiana is asking for that challenge right now.
47:55We have a timeout.
47:56But is it more about the proximate foul, perhaps?
48:00Or is it?
48:00No foul was called, though.
48:03Siakam falling down.
48:05We'll take a timeout.
48:1122.5 seconds remaining right now.
48:14It's OKC ball and a one-point lead.
48:20Right now, the rule is, or the ruling, Siakam out of bounds.
48:25But watch Kaysen Wallace and Siakam.
48:27There's some contact there.
48:29Will they deem it marginal or illegal?
48:33If they deem it illegal, Siakam's going to shoot two free throws and give the Pacers a chance for their first lead of the game.
48:40And I feel like this challenge is all about, I think they know this is off Pascal.
48:45They are challenging what they believe is a proximate foul.
48:48Well, and look, right now, the Knicks, Cleveland, Milwaukee are all telling the OKC fans,
48:56we told you so.
48:57This team is relentless.
48:59They do not stop.
49:00It doesn't matter what the lead or the score is.
49:03They continue to pursue.
49:06They've won twice in these playoffs after trailing by 20.
49:09Three times, they've trailed by seven or more in the final minute to come back and win.
49:15Their largest deficit, 15.
49:17Here's John Goble.
49:18After a deal, Siakam is the last to touch the ball prior to going out of bounds.
49:24There is no foul constant for the play.
49:26The challenge is unsuccessful.
49:29The OKC will inbound.
49:35Again, that's a loose ball.
49:36Two guys going for it.
49:38And they deem it marginal contact.
49:41Siakam obviously felt otherwise.
49:43Do you think so?
49:44Now the key here, obviously, getting the ball in bounds.
49:48Not an easy spot on the floor to try to inbound it from, Mike.
49:50SGA has it.
49:54There's about a nine-second difference shot clock and game clock.
50:00Gildas Alexander spins, pulls up, jumper, off the mark, won't go, rebound, knee spin.
50:06The Pacers with a chance to win it.
50:06The Pacers with a chance to win it.
50:08Final seconds, no fouls to give.
50:10Halliburton looking.
50:11Halliburton driving, pulls up, jump shot.
50:14It's gone, it's gone, it's gone, with three-tenths of a second remaining.
50:19Timeout, OKC.
50:21Tyrese Halliburton does it again.
50:25Their first lead of the game.
50:31This crowd absolutely stunned as the Pacers take a one-point lead.
50:36Look, this is what you want.
50:39The MVP with his signature pull-up.
50:44Great defense by Indiana.
50:46They get the ball.
50:48He takes his time.
50:50He goes.
50:51He's not afraid of the moment.
50:53He is the moment.
50:55That is what Tyrese Halliburton has been doing all postseason.
51:00Taking his time.
51:00You give him half a step and knocks it down with .3.
51:04No hesitation in those big moments.
51:07He wants the ball in his hands.
51:09He wants the ball to shoot the big shot.
51:12He did it against Milwaukee.
51:14This game, five in the first round.
51:16Down seven in the final minute.
51:18Hit big shots.
51:19This, of course, a heartbreaking play for Cavs fans.
51:23Gets his own rebound.
51:24Goes back.
51:25Another incredible comeback against the Cavaliers.
51:29And then against the Knicks on that unbelievable game of Madison Square Garden.
51:34Hits what was a two-pointer.
51:36Forced the overtime.
51:37And they won again.
51:40And now there's three-tenths of a second remaining.
51:42Plenty of time for a catch and shoot.
51:44I love that he didn't call a timeout.
51:46You know, allow them to get the matchups they want.
51:49And you trust your guy.
51:51And I like it by Rick Carlisle because they have one timeout.
51:53So if you miss it, foul, you have a chance to advance.
51:56That's why they had to go.
51:58All right, so OKC to inbound.
52:00They still have one timeout if they have trouble getting it in.
52:02They're going to put Obi Toppin on the inbounder, Caruso.
52:05But this has to be a catch and shoot.
52:08No dribble, no turn.
52:10Three-tenths of a second remaining.
52:11And now Rick Carlisle will call a timeout.
52:18That's his last timeout.
52:21You enter Holmgren into the basketball game to give you that vertical threat.
52:25He has been a sneaky scorer on the baseline.
52:29He has, but I've watched a lot of these final games.
52:32I've been blessed to play in four of them.
52:33Indiana doing what they have done against this team in this arena.
52:39They've turned the ball over.
52:41They've been struggling.
52:42And all they did is show up and keep playing.
52:46Meanwhile, remember in the second round, game one here in OKC against Denver, the Nuggets came back.
52:51And one game one, this one they've led by 15, two and a half minutes into the fourth quarter.
52:58Of course, coming up after the game, flip over to ESPN SportsCenter with our guy Scott Van Pelt, who's here.
53:04He'll be in Oklahoma City, full post-game coverage and analysis.
53:08Now, there is no goaltending off of this.
53:10We remember the Valley Oop in Phoenix.
53:12There is no goaltending on either side.
53:15So you want to have a big guy by the rim for the lob.
53:18They can block it away.
53:19They can do anything else.
53:21So, Mark Digno, these are the type of inbound plays, last-second plays that teams work on over and over again
53:31during the course of a regular season to get precise execution.
53:37Again, Kiefer, OKC, if they have trouble getting inbounds, they can still call a timeout.
53:41Holmgren, Williams, SGA, and Wallace.
53:45Caruso will inbound.
53:49Caruso looking.
53:50Throws it up on the rim, knocked away, and Indiana takes game one.
53:55Shocking the thunder here at OKC.
53:57The comeback kids do it again.
54:00What a victory for the Pacers as Tyrese Halliburton's heroics takes center stage.
54:06Mike, this crowd is stunned.
54:13We are stunned on this broadcast.
54:15But to see what they've done over and over and over again.
54:23Tyrese Halliburton.
54:24I said it earlier.
54:26Your best player can't put up tour dates.
54:29Tyrese Halliburton's heroics.
54:30And Lisa's got him.
54:33Tyrese, just take me through that last possession.
54:37You guys didn't call timeout.
54:38Take me through the last game.
54:40Yeah, man.
54:40We got to stop.
54:42You know, and Coach, trust us in those moments to not call timeouts.
54:46Trust me in those moments.
54:47Guys, trust me.
54:48And just trying to make a play.
54:49So, man, basketball is fun, man.
54:52Winning is fun.
54:52That's a great win for us.
54:54How about the defensive possession?
54:55There was still .3 left.
54:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.
54:57Big time play.
54:58Miles did a great job at the rim.
54:59They tried to do a, you know, a pin down to get him out of the action so I could throw the lob.
55:02Miles got around it.
55:03Good tip.
55:04And, man, it's a total team ever.
55:06We had so many guys chip in.
55:07Obi was huge off the bench.
55:09Miles in the fourth.
55:09Andrew Nembhardt in the fourth.
55:11So many guys stepped up.
55:12And just really proud of this group.
55:13Tyrese, you guys were down 15 in the fourth quarter.
55:16Just how were you able to just hang around long enough to steal this?
55:20Man, we just had to figure out how to win in so many different ways all year.
55:23Past two years.
55:25There's so many weird different ways.
55:27And we just figured out we're a resilient group and just really proud of this group.
55:30And you said that you guys have done it over and over and over again in these playoffs.
55:34You've had these tremendous comebacks.
55:36Just what makes this team so relentless?
55:38Man, we just keep believing.
55:40Keep believing and we stay together.
55:43And it ain't over until it's over.
55:44It ain't over until it hits zero.
55:45And we just keep pushing.
55:46So, like I said, really proud of this group.
55:48Congrats on the win.
55:48We'll see you game two.
55:49Appreciate it.
55:50Mike.
55:50His first NBA Finals game.
55:53And he finishes it with another clutch game winner.
55:57The Pacers didn't have a lead in this game until there were three-tenths of a second remaining.
56:01They're now seven and two on the road.
56:05And Halliburton continues an amazing stretch.
56:09He hasn't played a ton of playoff games yet.
56:11But he has been magnificent at clutch time.
56:15And gets the win here in game one of the finals as the Thunder, for the second time in these playoffs, lose game one at home.
56:23Of course, game two right back here in Oklahoma City on Sunday.
56:26This makes basketball fun.
56:27Earlier start tip-off shortly after 8 Eastern on ABC, ESPN Deportes, and ESPN Radio.
56:35Remember, this is a team that had 20 turnovers in the first half, but they hung around, hung around, and they made all the big plays down the stretch.
56:42Again, join us Sunday night, game two, what has become now a very interesting NBA Finals.
56:49For our producer, Tim Corgan, director Mike Schwab, for Doris Burke, Richard Jefferson, Lisa Saunders, our entire crew.
56:55Coming up next to most of these ABC stations, your late local news, over at ESPN SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt.
57:01Good night from Oklahoma City.
57:03Thanks for watching ABC, home of the NBA Finals.
57:06We'll see you next time.
