Underdog Pacers on the Verge of an Unthinkable NBA Finals Upset Against the Thunder: Can They Seal the Deal?
The Pacers had a 50-32 (.610) record, which would mark the fourth-worst winning percentage for an NBA champion since the NBA-ABA merger. Their regular-season point differential per game was plus-2.2, which would be the third worst for a champion since the merger.
The New York Knicks knocked out the defending champion Boston Celtics, but the Pacers still had to play the Cleveland Cavaliers (64-18 with a +9.5-point differential per game) and the Thunder (68-14, NBA-record +12.9-point differential per game). Despite playing in what’s considered the lesser conference (Eastern), the Pacers did not have an easy road to the title.
