The Indiana Pacers woke up Sunday morning one victory away from their first NBA championship. They were much further away from their first championship by the end of Sunday night. They didn't just lose Game 7 against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton, who was playing with a strained right calf, went down with a lower right leg injury in the first quarter of Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night and immediately began punching the court in frustration.

Kevin Durant' fingerprints were all over these NBA Finals, and it's not just because he was once the best player in the history of the team that eventually claimed the championship. Nor was it because Durant's torn Achilles in the 2019 finals showed us the perils of playing through a calf injury as Haliburton was attempting to do.
