Alex Golden and Mike Facci share their Postgame thoughts on Game 2 of the NBA Finals. SGA played at an MVP level, the Thunder defense was in full effect, and the bench duo of Alex Caruso and Aaron Wiggins were too much for the Indiana Pacers. With a poor shooting night and a horrific 2nd quarter, Indiana dug themselves into too big of a hole and couldn't muster up enough stops to get themselves back into the game. The guys discuss the game in full detail, and at the end of the show, they touch on Shams Charania's reporting of Indiana and Myles Turner having mutual interest in agreeing to a new deal this summer.

Alex Golden is joined by Indiana Pacers historian, Mark Montieth, to discuss whether or not Tyrese Haliburton is ALREADY the MOST clutch player in Indiana Pacers History. Mark discusses whether or not Reggie or Tyrese are more clutch, who was the most clutch in the ABA that doesn't get as much notoriety in the 21st century and who are the Mt. Rushmore of Pacers Clutch shooters in franchise history.

Alex Golden and Mike Facci are here to recap ANOTHER Tyrese Haliburton game winner in the postseason! The Pacers trailed by 15 in the 4th quarter and committed 19 first half turnovers, but this team never quits. Spearheaded by the tough nosed play of Andrew Nembhard, the Pacers stormed their way back for a thrilling victory over the greatest defense in the NBA. While several players contributed to this incredible comeback, it was Tyrese Haliburton who played Mariano Rivera and closed this one out for the blue and gold once again!
