The NBA Finals, initially predicted to be underwhelming, surprised fans with an intense seven-game series between Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers. Contrasting previous years, this finals celebrated aggressive basketball marked by turnovers and unexpected plays. Despite the Thunder's strong season and roster, the Pacers, even after losing star guard Tyrese Haliburton to injury, showcased resilience and determination. The unpredictability of the series captivated fans and shone a light on the excitement of basketball, proving that excitement can arise from chaotic and physical gameplay, not just star power.
Even after star guard Tyrese Haliburton exited with a ripped Achilles late in the first quarter, the Pacers wouldn't give up, demonstrating their relentless spirit.
It was grubby at times, but it was all the more beautiful for its lunging desperation, with both teams playing with a mad, symphonic intensity.
