If you are a fan of basketball, the basketball God's blessed fans with a Game 7 NBA Finals match-up between the Pacers and OKC with everything on the line. Prior to the game, Pacers HC Rick Carlisle was very expressive in what he saw when he walked through the Thunder's parking garage. He saw the bus already painted with the word Champions. I guess that motivated Tyrese Haliburton, because he came out the game two-stepping with the three-point shag and dagger. In the first five minutes of the game, he had nine-points.


It seemed like everything was going well with the Pacers until Haliburton went down after chasing down a turnover, re-activating his calf injury. After Tyrese left the game, the Pacers' offense looked all out of sort. Despite having their star out of the line-up, Indiana was making shots tough for OKC. I don't know if it was belief and faith, but the Pacers had a 48-47 lead at the break!


The start of the second half was a nightmare for the Pacers. They had turned the ball over, which led to six fastbreak points. With those turnovers, you could feel OKC going on one of those sprints, which the Pacers attempted to stop by calling a timeout. Each time it looked like the Pacers could cut into the Thunders' lead the Thunder would go ona run. Eventually, the Thunder's lead blossom to 20, but the fighting heart of the Pacers would not go down without a fight. Their fight came to an end as the Thunder went onto win their first finals.
