A tornado warning in Oklahoma may impact the ESPN/ABC broadcast for Game 2 of the NBA Finals, with production crews on standby if necessary.

According to The Athletic, ESPN/ABC crews are currently working from Oklahoma City, but may be forced to produce Game 2 remotely if severe weather impacts the area. Mike Breen would still call the game from court side with the likes of Stephen A. Smith providing analysis inside the arena, but ESPN may control the feed from its headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut, or from Los Angeles if needed.

The severe weather impacted the Indiana Pacers as they flew into Oklahoma City for Game 1, with the plane being redirected and eventually landing at the intended destination approximately five hours behind schedule. Ahead of Game 2, it had also been announced that ESPN/ABC sideline reporter Lisa Salters would miss Sunday's game.

Sunday's tornado warning outlined a red zone in Oklahoma, with the storm moving east at 33 miles per hour. While Oklahoma City was right on the periphery of the advisory, it was still considered to be an impacted area.

Heavy rain and hail the size of golf balls were expected by the National Weather Service, with people urged to take shelter and stay safe during the storm. With ESPN's production trucks stationed outside Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, the crews were also impacted by the warning, but are currently continuing as normal.

The Oklahoma City Thunder suffered a brutal defeat in Game 1 as Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton scored a go-ahead jumper with 0.3 seconds remaining. Indiana won 111-110 to take an early lead in the series, and place pressure on Oklahoma City to respond before two road games.

The Thunder entered the NBA Finals as the major favorites to win the championship, despite not winning the title since 1979. Back then, the team was known as the Seattle SuperSonics before it was relocated in 2008.

Indiana's late win in Game 1 may have come as a minor surprise on the road, but the Pacers are 7-0 in Games 1 and 2 this postseason. Despite this, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle had no interest in looking back on their playoff run and instead was focused on the next challenge.

"I'm not interested in talking about the past," Carlisle told reporters pregame. "Each day, as you are on a playoff run, is like a new day. I find that looking back is a dangerous thing.

"We've got to keep our eye firmly where it needs to be, which is on now and the next thing. And so, you know, this all comes down to us trying to execute what we do a little better than them doing what they do. So it's challenging."

Although Carlisle was eager to look forward, Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault reflected on the mistakes made in Game 1. "We try to focus on what we can control and there was plenty in that game that we could control that we could have done better," he said.

"The more you do that, the more you execute that, the less you're dependent on the variants of makes and misses. And so that was our focus the last couple days.

"It's always a focus. I think it's a strength of our team as we try to tilt the odds in our favor with execution and competitiveness, and we are always trying to look to improve the things we can control as we head into a game."
