The Indiana Pacers will play the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City. Indiana holds a 1-0 series lead following a close 111-110 victory on Thursday.

Tyrese Haliburton has been dazzling the fans throughout the playoffs with his fun, loose style of play that gets his teammates involved. One of those fans is none other than NBA veteran Chris Paul.

When the Pacers traded for Siakam two Januarys ago and later re-signed him, he was seen as the type of star for whom the Pacers had to settle. Indianapolis, being a non-glamour market, would never get a superstar to pair with Haliburton, so they had to search elsewhere. Siakam would have to be good enough. Across the board, he has been.
