NBA Finals: Tyrese Haliburton gives Indiana Pacers win over Oklahoma City Thunder in game one
Tyrese Haliburton scored in the final second as the Indiana Pacers snatched victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in game one of the NBA Finals.
His 21-foot shot put the Pacers in front for the first time in the match, with 0.3 seconds remaining as they secured a 111-110 win.
The Thunder, with home court advantage for the first two games, had led by 15 points during the fourth quarter, and in the closing seconds the ball was in the hands of NBA most valuable player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
However, he missed a two-point attempt with 12 seconds remaining and the Pacers grabbed the rebound, passed the ball to Haliburton and he drove down the court before hitting the winning points.
It’s the fourth time in the 2025 play-offs that the 25-year-old has recorded a big-time score – three times to win a match and once to force overtime.
Indiana won despite turning the ball over 25 times, with 20 of those coming in the first half.
“It’s not the recipe to win,” Haliburton said.
“We can’t turn the ball over that much. (But) come May and June, it doesn’t matter how you get them, just get them.”
Team-mate Myles Turner said of Haliburton: “Some players will say they have it, but there are other players that show it. He wants to be the one to hit that shot. He doesn’t shy away from that moment.”
Gilgeous-Alexander was the game’s leading scorer with 38 points, while Pascal Siakam top scored for the Pacers with 19 points, followed by Obi Toppin with 17.
“We played like we were trying to keep the lead instead of trying to extend it or be aggressive,” said the Thunder’s Jalen Williams.
Game two of the best-of-seven series is also in Oklahoma and will start at 19:00 local time on Sunday, 8 June (01:00 BST on Monday).

Indiana sheriff busted for theft after GPS locator ties him to stolen election campaign signs
VERNON, Ind. (WANE) A grand jury last week indicted the Jennings County Sheriff on multiple charges following a six month investigation by Indiana State Police involving the alleged theft of campaign signs.
In November 2025, Troopers from the Indiana State Police-Versailles Post were contacted by a candidate for Jennings County Sheriff, who reported having campaign signs stolen that had been placed around area roadways. The candidate then placed a GPS locator device on one of his signs. When that sign was stolen, he tracked it to a dumpster located on the property of Jennings County Sheriff William “Kenny” Freeman, Jr.
Troopers went to Freeman’s property and retrieved the sign and the GPS locator from Freeman’s dumpster. They also found other campaign signs in the dumpster including a sign for a Jennings County Judge candidate, who also reported having campaign signs stolen.
Soon after troopers located the stolen signs in Freeman’s possession, Freeman issued tickets to both political candidates related to the placement of their signs.
Because the investigation involved an acting sheriff, a request was made for both a Special Prosecutor and Judge. The Dearborn and Ohio Counties Prosecuting Attorney Lynn Deddens was appointed along with Ripley County Superior Judge Jeffery Sharp. The case was presented to a Jennings County Grand Jury this past Thursday.
The Grand Jury reviewed the case and indicted Freeman on the following charges:
*Theft (2 counts)-Class A Misdemeanor
*Official Misconduct-Level 6 Felony
*Obstruction of Justice-Level 6 Felony
*Perjury-Level 6 Felony
