INDIANAPOLIS - For the first time since 2000, the National Basketball Association (NBA) Finals are headed to Indianapolis.
The Pacers are even with the Oklahoma City Thunder at 1-1 in the best-of-seven series ahead of Game 3 on June 11 (June 12, Singapore time).
"We got one. Get to go home and play in front of our fans at Gainbridge (Fieldhouse)," said Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith.
"They've been waiting for this for 25 years, it's exciting to go back and see what the atmosphere will be like."
The Pacers swiped the opening game and went into the second with a 7-0 record in Games 1 and 2 this postseason, before the 123-107 loss on June 8 that evened the series.
While Oklahoma City squandered a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter in Game 1, their defense was relentless in Game 2.
