Haliburton's buzzer stunner shocks OKC

It's 0.3 seconds to heaven for Indiana

- 

Indiana's Tyrese Haliburton sank the game-winning basket with 0.3 of a second remaining to give the Pacers a stunning 111-110 fightback victory over Oklahoma City in Thursday's opening game of the NBA Finals.

Haliburton, who had 14 points and 10 rebounds, gave the Pacers their only lead of the game on a dramatic 21-foot jump shot to deliver a shocker after Indiana had trailed by 15 points with 9:42 minutes remaining.

"I'm confident in my ability and feel like if I can get to my spot I'm really comfortable from there. I really had confidence in my shot," Haliburton said of the game winner.

"We're just a really resilient group. We did a great job of just walking them down. When it gets to 15, you can panic or you can talk about how do you get it to 10, to five and from there. We just stuck with it.

"We got a big stop there and they had a lot of confidence in me to make that shot."

With a game-closing 14-2 run, the Pacers seized a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven series with game two on Sunday at Oklahoma City.

"We've got to learn from it. There are obviously a lot of things we can clean up. Credit them. They went and got that game," Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said.
