Want More Excitement From the N.B.A.? Try the Korean Broadcast.
Game 1 of this year's N.B.A. finals had a spectacular finish, with the Indiana Pacers completing a 15-point comeback over the Oklahoma City Thunder to stun the crowd in Oklahoma City. The victory was punctuated by a near-miraculous buzzer beater by Tyrese Haliburton of the Pacers, who drained the winning shot with only 0.3 seconds left on the clock. It was a thrilling moment for any basketball fan. But few reacted with as much fervor as Myung-jung Kim and Se-woon Park. 'Amazing, Indiana, don't call a timeout!' Mr. Kim and Mr. Park, sportscasters and analysts for South Korea's SPOTV, had exclaimed in Korean just ahead of the shot as Indiana grabbed a rebound and began to move the ball upcourt. 'Indiana, an underdog, faces a familiar situation — WAAAAAAAA! HALIBURTON! WOW!' A post shared by NBA (@nba) Their over-the-top reaction the moment the shot went in, which culminated in full-blown screeching and wailing, was shared widely across social media in the hours after Indiana's win. American fans shared clips of the rhapsodic call, and the N.B.A. posted an excerpt on Instagram. Commenters were quick to cite the passion and emotion of the South Korean announcers, with several saying the clip gets better with repeated listens. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Thunder at Pacers Game 3 picks, odds, how to watch: NBA Finals shift to Indianapolis
After both teams won a game in Oklahoma City, the NBA Finals are off in earnest. The top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder and impossibly-clutch Indiana Pacers are tied up at 1-1, with Game 3 going down Wednesday night. OKC is a favorite on the road, but Indy is a tough out, especially in its own gym. All systems go for these fast-paced Finals. Advertisement This game will also be available on ESPN+. Series odds: Thunder -600, Pacers +425 Through two games, the Thunder are decisively winning the factors they prioritize. Their turnover rate is half of the Pacers' (19 to 39). It's hard to lose a series with an advantage like that. Oklahoma City also has the superior free throw rate and a far better defensive rating. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is getting to the rim comfortably, while funneling down the Pacers' passing lanes. It has only been two games, but the regular-season MVP is averaging an absurd 36 points, 5.5 assists, 5 rebounds and 3.5 steals. Sunday's crowd showed the requisite love. To win away from home, Mark Daigneault's team will need more from Jalen Williams on the offensive end. He went 2-for-9 from behind the arc in Games 1 and 2. Lu Dort should continue seeing clean jump shot looks, and he'll be the primary defender on Tyrese Haliburton come Wednesday night. The Thunder played straight-up defense for most of 2025, but they have adapted to a 'talk it, touch it, switch it' scheme that can neutralize Indiana's elite spacing and off-ball movement. Dort, Alex Caruso and Cason Wallace need to set the perimeter wall early, because Haliburton and his backcourt can microwave offense at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Accordingly, Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein should see fewer minutes, unless things go off the rails. Indiana has seldom been on the rails this postseason. What a thoroughly unbelievable run. First, the icy closeout of division rival Milwaukee. Then a breezy upset of 64-win Cleveland before a center-stage dispatching of New York. Haliburton's heroic effort in Game 1 was just the latest. All this is to remind folks that Indy cannot be counted out until the very last buzzer. Advertisement Rick Carlisle and his crew can hold their own against OKC's suffocating defense. The Pacers were just above 40 percent 3-point shooting in the first two games. Indiana has to get a more efficient showing from Pascal Siakam in Game 3, but the free-throw rate is strong and he's dominating offensive rebounds (eight so far, with Hartenstein second at five). We cannot sleep on fiery Indy, especially in Naptown, but Oklahoma City looked wire-to-wire dominant in Game 2. Music matchup: The Sooner State has produced all-time country sensations like Woody Guthrie, Reba McEntire, Gene Autry and a carousel of others. Indiana has a great heartland rocker of its own in John Mellencamp, but the state is strongest in rhythm, blues, soul and dance — Michael and Janet Jackson were born in Gary, and Babyface hails from Indianapolis. It's a matter of preference here. 1993 — Bulls 111, Suns 108. For the first time ever, opposing players each dropped 40-pieces in a Finals game. Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley both scored 42 points in a brisk Game 2. From the New York Times archive: Clifton Brown: 'This was the Jordan-Barkley showdown that the league envisioned when the series began. When the third quarter ended, Barkley already had 35 points and Jordan had 30. Both players were carrying their teams. Barkley was making power moves, forcing the Bulls to swarm around him and leaving other Suns wide open. Jordan was making midair moves, long-range jumpers and savvy defensive plays.'

Jermaine O'Neal returns to take in Pacers' run: 'I'm hoping this is the storybook ending'
LAS VEGAS -- It's been 25 years since the Pacers last played in an NBA Finals, which also means it's been 25 years since Jermaine O'Neal Sr. arrived. O'Neal became the Pacers' big splash the last time they tried to follow up a surprise appearance in the championship round. And after more than a decade spent largely away from the Pacers and the NBA scene, Indianapolis' all-time leader in All-Star appearances came back to take in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals. And he plans on being back for Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday as well. After all, he, too, has been waiting a quarter-century to see this franchise in the spot they fell just short of in his time in Indianapolis. "I'm just happy for the city," O'Neal said. "The city's been through a lot. It's a hard-hat, hard-working city with people that really love the team. Man, I'm happy for them. "The energy was amazing. That's what I told my wife: If I had to say one thing I miss about playing and playing there, it's the energy. I felt like I was in the game. I was sweating, and I'm like, 'Why am I sweating?' I had one of the equipment guys get me a washcloth. I was sweating like that." Re-live the Pacers' unbelievable run to the NBA Finals with our commemorative book The 46-year-old is now 11 years removed from his NBA career and 17 from his eight-year run with the Pacers. He arrived at age 22 in a splash trade fresh off Indianapolis' loss to the Lakers in the 2000 Finals, and he went on to reach six straight All-Star appearances and became the franchise's all-time leader in blocked shots until Myles Turner surpassed him last season. O'Neal's teams never got back to the Finals, though, falling one round short against the Pistons in 2003-2004 in Rick Carlisle's first season as coach before a fallout related to the Pacers-Pistons brawl broke up a title favorite the very next season. But O'Neal felt something when he ran into Carlisle before Game 4 against the Knicks and realized the symmetry in his coach returning to this moment. MORE: 25 years later, Pacers back in NBA Finals: 'It's almost a replay of the way it felt in 2000' 'He's one of the greatest coaches I've ever been around," said O'Neal, who is now coaching Dynamic Prep Academy in Irving, Texas. "He's just smart, man. You let a guy like Rick Carlisle to script against the same team in a seven-game series, he's probably going to win a lot of those battles, if you give him talent to go with his basketball mind." Now in his second stint with the Pacers, Carlisle has hit this kind of ceiling in the playoffs before, like when he led the 2010-2011 Mavericks to an NBA Finals upset of the Heat. "I remember we used to be in timeouts and the first horn would go off and he's kind of sitting there like, 'We're going to do this.' And then we go out there and run it," O'Neal said. "He has that type of mind where he can draw up things on the fly. "And he's not a rah-rah-rah, in-your-face type of coach, but he says things and he says things in a way where you know when he's upset and you know when he's about his business. But he's so smart, man. He finds a way to hit the right button and the right strings with these players." Carlisle's presence is the one similarity O'Neal sees between this year's Pacers, who are tied 1-1 with the Thunder in this year's NBA Finals, and the talented group he played with that fell short. O'Neal's early teams were led by an aging but clutch Reggie Miller to go along with O'Neal and Ron Artest as the budding stars. "We were a very physical, defensive-minded team first. We would just wear you down defensively. We were kind of unique because we had an inside-outside presence," O'Neal said. "But (this year's Pacers) are a pace, speed, side-to-side, ball gotta work. I thought we were deep, too, but we didn't have to go deep to win the game. "I think they have to go deep to win games because right now as (Tyrese) Haliburton is trying to define himself as a true, true star where you can throw him the ball and he's going to get you a bucket. SGA (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) is that guy. There's a handful of those guys. I think Haliburton has a chance to be that." O'Neal shared a moment with Haliburton before Game 4, where he told the star point guard to become more selfish. He said Haiburton told him, "I've got you, OG." 'You can tell he's a basketball savant," O'Neal said. "He works to set the table for other people, and sometimes that unique skillset can impact your ability to impact the game offensively if you keep passing, keep passing and keep going. I think his next step will probably come next year, which is probably why he didn't make the All-Star Game this year because he had too many games where he wasn't aggressive. I think he can still get 30 and 10. He has to take that next step." MORE: Mission Impossible: Finals reckoning. Pacers do it again. 'We never give up, until the buzzer sounds' O'Neal's evaluation came days before Haliburton hit a fade-away jumper with less than 2 seconds left to beat the Thunder 111-110 in Game 1 on Thursday. With a game-tying or game-winning shot in all four playoff rounds so far, it's possible that Haliburton's next step is happening right now. That possibility kept O'Neal from counting out the Pacers against the heavily favored Thunder. And he certainly knew what his heart wanted to happen.
