History says the Pacers are in control of the series now; in the 41 previous NBA Finals that were tied at a game apiece, the Game 3 winner went on to hoist the trophy 33 times — an 80.5% clip.

The best-of-seven series is tied at 1-1 as it moves to Indianapolis.

A record-tying four Canadians are playing the Finals led by 2024-25 NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
