**UNCUT** LAST 5 MINUTES OF INSANE 2025 GAME 1 NBA FINALS (PACERS vs. THUNDER)

The Indiana Pacers pulled off a remarkable 4th-quarter comeback, erasing a 15-point deficit to take the lead late, thanks once again to Tyrese Haliburton’s clutch performance. This marks the fifth instance during this postseason that Indiana has overcome a 15+ point hole — the most by any team in a single playoff run since 1998. They’ve also joined elite company, becoming only the third team in NBA Playoff history to come back from 15 down in the 4th quarter, alongside the 2011 Dallas Mavericks and the 1992 Chicago Bulls. Haliburton’s go-ahead basket with just 0.3 seconds left added to his historic playoff run — it was the fifth time this postseason he’s hit a shot to tie, win, or take the lead in the final 30 seconds of the 4th quarter or overtime. No other player in NBA postseason history has achieved that many; the previous record was four, held by Ray Allen during the 2009 playoffs.
