So … what exactly happened here, and what does it mean going forward? That’s what I’ve been trying to figure out ever since I staggered out of Paycom Center late Thursday in the wake of the Indiana Pacers’ stunning 111-110 comeback win against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

It's been a back-and-forth over the first four games — and now, a best-of-three will decide the NBA title. Game 5 is in Oklahoma City on Monday night, with the Thunder trying to take their first lead of the series and the Pacers trying to head back home one win away from a championship.

The NBA Finals are here, with West No. 1 seed Oklahoma City Thunder and the East No. 4 seed Indiana Pacers squaring off with the hope of lifting their first-ever Larry O’Brien trophy at the end of the highly-anticipated series.
