Chet Holmgren vows Thunder must be better on boards after Pacers won Game 1 rebound battle
Chet Holmgren vows Thunder must be better on boards after Pacers won Game 1 rebound battle For the next two days, all criticisms for the Oklahoma City Thunder's 111-110 Game 1 loss to the Indiana Pacers will be magnified on Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren. It was death by a thousand papercuts that put the title favorite in an early 0-1 series deficit in the 2025 NBA Finals. But put it plain, it's difficult to win a playoff game when two of your three best players struggle. At least Williams had his moments. On the other hand, Holmgren disappeared into the background. The Thunder went with a single center to start. Isaiah Hartenstein was benched in favor of Cason Wallace. By the end, they abandoned that, too. Holmgren finished with six points on 2-of-9 shooting and six rebounds. He shot 0-of-1 from 3 and went 2-of-2 on free throws. He also had a block. As the game progressed, you saw less of Holmgren. He only logged 24 minutes and played just four minutes of a close fourth quarter. The Pacers' outside shooting pulled the seven-footer outside of the paint. The Thunder had to concede and play mostly small-ball in the final moments. Questions arose about Hartenstein's playability against the Pacers. Very different circumstances, but he struggled against mostly the same roster on the New York Knicks. Funny how sports can turn out, as he was more effective than Holmgren in Game 1. The Thunder will need Holmgren to play better. They were killed on the boards by a 56-39 disadvantage. That allowed the Pacers to overcome the shot-attempt difference slowly. The 23-year-old has to play better on both ends or risk being unplayable. "Obviously, we could be better on the glass. That stood out to me, too, at first. They did have more offensive rebounds than we did. We forced a lot of turnovers and got a lot of steals. There's no rebound opportunity on plays like that 'cause they're not even getting a shot up," Holmgren said. "I guess that stat doesn't tell the whole story. But we can still continue to be better on that end in that area."

'We didn't even play well.' Pacers All-Star's message after Game 1 win in NBA Finals
The Indiana Pacers may have some mixed feelings about Thursday's nail-biting 111-110 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. But Tyrese Haliburton doesn't appear deterred. In a video posted to social media by ESPN, Indiana's star point guard seemed amped up for Game 2 while exiting the court with fellow star teammate Pascal Siakam. "We did our job — c'mon man, let's get greedy... we have so much to work on," Haliburton told Siakam. Siakam, who led the Pacers with 19 points, echoed the sentiment: 'We didn't even play well.' Pre-order our new book on Pacers' rise to NBA Finals Despite struggling in the first half, Haliburton ended the night with 14 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. That mutual hunger might be the key to Indiana's improbable postseason run, which once again found its hero in Haliburton. The 24-year-old buried his third game-winning shot of the playoffs with just 0.3 seconds remaining, giving the Pacers their first lead of the night and capping off a dramatic comeback. Oklahoma City had history on its side throughout its nail-biting loss. The Thunder racked up 12 first-half steals — the most in an NBA Finals half since 1998 — leading to 19 Pacers turnovers before halftime. They also managed 16 more field goal attempts than Indiana, despite shooting just 39.8% from the floor. But the Pacers refused to fold. Indiana clawed its way back with a dominant second half, outrebounding the Thunder 56-39 and pouring in 32 second-chance points. The performance was an astounding feat considering the Pacers rank last in offensive rebounding percentage (23.8%) and near the bottom in second-chance scoring during this postseason. In the series opening matchup between two of the league's most cerebral teams, Indiana's grit and poise stole the spotlight. The Game 1 win gives the Pacers a 1-0 series lead, and even more belief in their ability to deliver under pressure. "I think as a group, we never think the game is over ever, honestly speaking," Haliburton said. "That never creeps in. I think we just keep talking as a group, how can we walk this team down. That's just the confidence that we have as a group, and I think that's a big reason why this is going on."
