Underdog Pacers on the Verge of an Unthinkable NBA Finals Upset Against the Thunder: Can They Seal the Deal?
Even if the season started on Dec. 13, they wouldâve been seen by most analysts as significant underdogs heading into the Finals. And if another team with the Pacersâ profile makes the Finals and comes close to winning next year, it might be time to evaluate if elite regular-season results are a prerequisite for a championship contender.
For now, itâs probably better to take the Pacers as the exception that proves the rule.
No Fluke
When a team thatâs a heavy underdog wins or competes in a series unexpectedly, there can be a tendency to look toward the lucky breaks it got. The favorite’s wins are seen as expected, so any luck they have is dismissed as what âshould haveâ happened.
