In a thrilling start to the NBA Finals, the Indiana Pacers clinched a last-second victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday evening. The Pacers, who trailed throughout the game, made a remarkable comeback, securing their first lead with just 0.3 seconds left on the clock. This nail-biting moment almost went unnoticed by viewers in Indiana’s second-largest TV market, as the local broadcast switched to the evening news just as the game reached its climax.<\/p>\n
It was approaching 11 p.m. Eastern Time when the Thunder, holding the lead, had possession of the ball. At that critical juncture, Pacers’ Pascal Siakam made a game-changing block against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s layup attempt. As the Pacers hurried the ball across the court, the local time hit 11 p.m., and WPTA, Fort Wayne’s channel 21 Alive, transitioned to its scheduled news programming.<\/p>\n
