The Indiana Pacers really came out swinging in Game 6 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder. And thanks in large part to Pascal Siakam.
After a rough start where they missed their first eight shots, the team found their groove and erupted into an impressive 64–42 lead by halftime.
Siakam was a standout during that thrilling first half. He kicked things off with an incredible fastbreak dunk after Tyrese Haliburton snagged a turnover on defense.
The fans couldn’t get enough. Just a few moments later, Siakam hit a buzzer-beater to close out the half, wrapping up a stunning 30–9 run for the Pacers.
Heading into this game, the Pacers had their work cut out for them. Haliburton was still nursing a leg injury, and the Thunder seemed to be finding their stride. But there was something magical in the air.
Cameras caught Siakam making the final sacrifice in real time 😭😭😭
