NBA FINALS

In Basketball, Tyrese Haliburton scored in the final second on Thursday as the Indiana Pacers Beat the Oklahoma City Thunder in game one of the NBA Finals.

His 21-foot shot put the Pacers ahead for the first time in the match, with 3 seconds remaining as they secured a 111-110 win.

The Thunder, with home 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 to go and the Pacers grabbed the rebound, passed the ball to Haliburton and he drove down the court before hitting the winning points.
