The Indiana Pacers lost the NBA Finals in one of the most painful ways possible Sunday night after star guard Tyrese Haliburton exited Game 7 against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to an Achilles tear in his right leg.
Haliburton had nine points in seven minutes prior to getting injured in the first quarter, and his untimely setback blew the air out of his team's momentum, making an already tough matchup against the formidable Thunder even tougher. The Pacers saw the game get away from them in the second half, and went on to lose 103-91, missing out on their chance of winning the franchise’s first ever NBA championship.
