Thunder thumps Pacers in NBA Finals Game 2
Digest more
Perhaps the Oklahoma City Thunder should consider letting the Indiana Pacers play from ahead for the rest of these NBA Finals, so they don't continue to make comeback history.
By winning Game 1 in Oklahoma City, the Pacers won their first NBA Finals road game in franchise history. The Pacers have only been to the NBA Finals one other time. That came in 2000 when they faced Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers. They lost that series in six games and dropped all three road games.
Per the NBA, the Pacers tied the biggest fourth-quarter comeback (15 points) in the NBA Finals since 1971. And since 1971, this is the latest into any Finals game that a team took its first lead (0.3 seconds). Look at how unlikely this Pacers win was.
