The NBA Finals started with a stunner.

The Indiana Pacers won Game 1 by one point, 111-110, in an instant classic.

Despite the win, the Pacers are still a big underdog to win the best-of-seven series, which continues Sunday night.

What our Post expert thinks about the NBA Finals

It says an awful lot about how good the Oklahoma City Thunder have been this season when they lose Game 1 at home and are still -330 favorites to win the NBA Finals.

One thing is for sure, however: The Indiana Pacers will not go quietly.

A win on Sunday would put Indiana in the driver’s seat for the rest of the series.
