Losing, Thunder coach Dagenut broke the silence and talked about losing to the Pacers in the first game

Thunder head coach Mark Dagnott's initial reaction after losing to the Pacers by one point in the first NBA Finals.

Oklahoma City -- Indiana Pacers guard Tyres Halliburton's winning goal helped the team beat head coach Mark Dagenot and the Oklahoma City Thunder 12-3 at a critical moment. With 0.3 seconds left in the game, Halliburton secured the NBA Finals' first victory 111-110. Dagnott sees Thursday’s defeat as a lesson worth learning before Thunder All-Star Shay Gilgers-Alexander reveals the lesson he learned from the Thunder’s fourth-quarter crash.

On the most dazzling stage in the NBA, the Pacers are behind 0-1, and Dagenot and the Thunder are about to usher in their next game, hoping to leave the loss behind and focus on the second game.

"Our biggest experience is understanding that every game is a new game," said Dagnott. "The most important game in the series is always the next game, no matter what the result is. We want to win tonight, but tonight is just a starting point, not a finish."

After forcing the Pacers to make 24 turnovers, Indiana returned one with a series of three-pointers, including the wonderful performances of Obi Topin, Miles Turner and Aaron Nesmith in the final quarter. Indiana cleared the 15-point difference. Halliburton's turnaround three-pointer gave the Pacers the first lead of the night.

Siakam scored 19 points and led the Pacers to score in double-digit points, including 5 of them from outside the three-point line, scoring 17 points, and Halliburton scored a double-double (14 points and 10 rebounds).

Shay Gilgers-Alexander shared the lessons learned after the Thunder lost the first game

After Thunder head coach Mark Degnot shared his opinion on a one-point loss in the first game, All-Star Shay Gilgers-Alexander talked about the team's shortcomings in Game 1 and reminded journalists how low the NBA Finals' fault tolerance rate is. ESPN reporter Tim McMahon said that the playoff victory is crucial, and it is a lesson the Pacers gave to Gilgers Alexander and the Thunder.

"It's a 48-minute game," Gilgers Alexander said. “(Pacers) taught you this more deeply than any other team in the league.”

Thunder will host the Pacers at home on Sunday for a second game.
