The Oklahoma City Thunder are sticking with the same starting lineup they used in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Prior to the series opener against the Indiana Pacers, Thunder coach Mark Daigneault made the surprising decision to bench starting center Isaiah Hartenstein and replace him in the opening group with backup guard Cason Wallace.

The Thunder will look to rebound in Game 2 of the Finals against the Pacers, now down by one in the series heading into Sunday. Another 2025 NBA playoff game, another go-ahead tie or game-winner by Tyrese “The Moment” Haliburton.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton takes the winning shot in the final seconds of Game 1 of the 2025 NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder at Paycom Center on June 5, 2025. It was a tough shot for OKC to see go in, as Haliburton robbed home court advantage from them, as they'll look to adjust heading into the second game of the series.
