Indiana's rally from 15 points down in Game 1 of the NBA Finals was the 10th such comeback — from 15 or more — in this season's playoffs. The Pacers and Tyrese Haliburton are responsible for five of those comebacks; the rest of the league, combined, have the other five.

The Pacers have come back from deficits of 15 points or more five times this playoffs, leading to some staggering stats.

Rick Carlisle's squad has mastered the art of the comeback, defying the odds with a historic mental toughness that's redefining what's possible in the playoffs.
