Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA; Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (0) is interviewed after the Pacers defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder during game one of the 2025

Tyrese Haliburton will play in Game 2 of the 2025 NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers. The status of Haliburton's injury is critical following an exciting Game 1 triumph in which he made a key contribution.

Even after his game-winner, Haliburton said they must play better. He quickly understood they stole Game 1. If you replayed the final three minutes, the Thunder likely would squeeze out a win in 99 out of 100 simulations. That doesn't make it sting any less for OKC, though. You don't win titles in hypotheticals.
