The Thunder and Pacers provided some unforgettable moments in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, and Game 2 was no different. Now, all eyes shift to the next installment of action on the league's biggest stage with the teams even at one apiece.
After the first two games were played at Oklahoma City's raucous Paycom Center, the setting will shift for a pair of games at Indianapolis' Gainbridge Fieldhouse, which has not hosted a Finals game since June 16, 2000.
The arena's drought without hosting a Finals game will not make it to 25 years exactly, but it will come close as the tied series rolls into the middle of June.
