Tyrese Haliburton scored with 0.3 seconds left on the clock to help the Indiana Pacers secure a last-minute 111-110 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the NBA Finals this afternoon.
According to ESPN Research, Haliburton's shot is the latest game-winner in an NBA Finals game since Michael Jordan did it in Game 1 of the 1997 NBA Finals against the Utah Jazz.
The Pacers, who closed as a 10-point underdog, pulled the second-largest upset in the Finals in the last 35 seasons.
The Philadelphia 76ers beat the Los Angeles Lakers as 12-point favorites in Game 1 of the 2001 Finals.
The Pacers were down by 15 with 9.42 seconds left, matching the biggest fourth-quarter comeback in a finals game since the Dallas Mavericks came from 15 down to beat the Miami Heat on June 2, 2011.
