Morning Coffee: Can Oilers double down in Game 2 of Stanley Cup Final?

8 1
previous day

The Indiana Pacers are three wins away from winning the NBA Championship.

Dread it, run from it, the upsets still arrive.

Indiana could be found as high as 2000 to win Game 1 of the NBA Finals at FanDuel down nine on the road against the heavily favoured Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Pacers outscored Oklahoma City 12-2 in the final 2:38 of regulation in a stunning 111-110 comeback win.

Teams trailing by nine or more points in the final three minutes of an NBA Finals game were a combined 0-182 all-time.

Tyrese Haliburton’s go-ahead field goal with 0.3 seconds remaining in regulation made it 1-182. It’s just the third go-ahead field goal with less than one second left in an NBA Finals game over the past 30 years. It was also the latest that a team took its first lead in an NBA Finals game over the last 50 years.

After a stunning comeback win as a 340 underdog in Game 1, the Pacers odds to win the NBA championship were cut from 500 to 265 at FanDuel.

Meanwhile, the Thunder remain a heavy favourite to win the title after nearly becoming just the third team in the last 50 years to never trail........
