This TJ McConnell interception was honestly the turning point of an NBA Finals game. Pacers took lead next possession and never trailed afterward.

T.J. DID IT AGAIN!!! HIS 5th STEAL AND THE BUCKET TO TIE IT 🤯 Thunder (1-1) Pacers going down to the wire on ABC 👀 https://t.co/Z8RXXqmLjI

The Pacers still have not lost 2 consecutive games all playoffs. The Thunder haven’t either.

My favorite tradition after every Pacers playoff game is looking at the box score and learning that Pascal Siakam dropped 20+ points in a very quiet and efficient manner

This is already the best NBA Finals since 2021

Shoutout Myles Turner. Didn’t show up at all in the first 3 quarters. His defense was instrumental to winning this one down the stretch. The ultimate Pacer.

Bubble Rockets guarded Lu Dort beyond the 3-point line like he was Ben Simmons. I was there. I saw it. That was a thing that happened.

TJ McConnell is the LeBron James of Bob Cousys

I will never forget where I was during “the TJ McConnell quarter” in the 2025 NBA Finals

Right when I was out on TJ McConnell minutes this series, he lures me right back in by going full TJ McConnell. I will never doubt you, TJ McConnell.

ABC is interviewing Adam Silver about how to make the Finals seem like a bigger event, instead of showing starting lineup intros or immersing us in the electric Indiana crowd atmosphere 🤔

Not sure why any Spurs fan would want Durant. He’s 37 next year, makes $55M, has played 63+ games once in the last 6 years, and we’d likely have to pay an extension. Not on our timeline with Wemby, Castle, Harper, etc. Developing that core is most important to contention path.

Glad to see the Spurs ditch the SATX and go back to silver But the Pacers? Are they really scrapping what might be the best jersey in the NBA - one that’s become iconic during this playoff run? Yikes
