Thunder's panic meter after Game 1
The Thunder's Game 1 collapse was wild. How concerned should Oklahoma City be going into Game 2? The For The Hoops crew gives a panic meter rating on a scale of 1 to 10.
The NBA Finals pick up again Sunday, June 8, after a two-day layoff which has given fans the opportunity to dissect and debate Tyrese Haliburton's game-winning shot from every angle.
On the heels of the Indiana Pacers' shocking 111-110 comeback victory in Game 1, the Oklahoma City Thunder play host again in Game 2 (8 p.m. ET, ABC).
Thunder coach Mark Daigenault has said he won't reveal his plan for the starting lineup after changing his postseason strategy for Game 1, going with extra guard Cason Wallace and one big man in Chet Holmgren, leaving center Isaiah Hartenstein to come off the bench.
Holmgren had a disappointing NBA Finals debut, scoring just six points, but Indiana coach Rick Carlisle has warned he expects the third-year forward/center to be more aggressive this time around.
