In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, D Wright, Bob, and Chris Johnson break down Game 1 of the NBA Finals between OKC and the Pacers.

 

They highlight OKC’s tough defense and key players like Caruso, Dort, and Wallace. On Indiana’s side, the crew digs into their early turnover issues and how they cleaned it up in the second half. Haliburton’s clutch shooting, Siakam’s key put-back, and the Pacers’ bench production helped pull off a rare comeback, overcoming a seven-point deficit in the final minute.

 

The guys agree the Pacers made this series competitive and discuss what both teams need to adjust moving forward.
